Evidence-Based Science

Luminopia One is a digital therapeutic built on years of cutting-edge science. Our neuroscience-based approach works by presenting TV and movie content differently to each eye within a kid-friendly virtual reality (VR) headset. Thanks to powerful neural plasticity, this rebalancing approach strengthens visual processing, promotes weaker eye usage, and encourages both eyes to work together properly!

At Luminopia, we place a strong emphasis on rigorous clinical research to show that our products are safe and effective for children. To date, we have conducted several clinical trials on Luminopia One in collaboration with leading hospitals and research institutions across the United States. These studies, including a prospective, randomized controlled trial, have demonstrated the potential for Luminopia One to be an engaging and effective at-home therapy for amblyopia. Luminopia One has been approved by the FDA for prescription use, and is indicated for improvement in visual acuity in amblyopia patients aged 4-7.
