Improving more than just your eyes

Our vision at Optic Reflex was to create a novel method to engage patients in exercises and activities geared towards improving Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) and visual acuity. Our background of Physical Therapy and Vestibular Rehabilitation has lead us to creating a product built to engage a user for everyday use.

What is VOR?

The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) is a crucial mechanism that allows our eyes to maintain focus on an object even as our head moves. When the head moves in a certain direction, the VOR makes sure our eyes move in the opposite direction at the same speed, keeping our gaze stable. When the perceived motion doesn’t match what the Vestibular system (inner ear) senses, it may create symptoms of:

  • Dizziness

  • Nausea

  • Motion Sickness

  • Headache/Migraine

Our technology is embedded with the capacity to perform the Vestibulo-Oculo Motor Screen (VOMs) as performed by a Neurologist or Physical Therapist in a clinic. It can provide real time feedback through video imaging to allow monitoring of the visual system for display of aberrant eye movements while performing exercises/activities. Our App can be engaged for further treatment and improvement in VOR Reflex and visual acuity as needed for everyday life.
