Could your visual system be working harder than it needs to?

Brain fog, mental fatigue and difficulty switching off may not just be about sleep, stress or nutrition. With around 50% of your brain dedicated to processing visual information, ScreenFit™ Vision Foundations help train one of your brain's most important sensory systems.

The audit

Every system in your stack, accounted for. Except one.

You track sleep, recovery, glucose and HRV. But the system responsible for processing around 50% of your brain's visual information has probably never been assessed. But over 80% of what is learned comes through the visual processing of information and your brain has probably never been assessed for this.

If your recovery data, mental fatigue or brain fog aren't fully explained by sleep, training or nutrition, your visual system likely is an overlooked part of the picture.

Why it matters
The mechanism

How the visual system can influence brain performance

Dr. Appelbaum describes Digital Vision Disorder as a functional vision problem that places unnecessary demands on the brain and nervous system. Rather than staying isolated to the eyes, those demands can influence how you think, feel and recover throughout the day.

Stage 1 01 Macro eye with clinical tracking overlay

Hours of near work increase visual demand

Sustained screen use requires continuous focusing, eye movements and visual processing. Over time, that increased demand may place additional workload on the brain.

Stage 2 02 Person at a desk late in the day, mentally fatigued after long screen work

The brain works harder to process visual information

When the visual system isn't functioning efficiently, the brain may have to use more neurological resources simply to process what it sees. That can leave fewer resources available for focus, recovery, concentration and nervous system regulation.

Stage 3 03 Wearable showing a dipping recovery trend

The effects can show up beyond your eyes

Mental fatigue, brain fog, difficulty switching off, and recovery that doesn't quite match your data may all point to an overlooked source of neurological demand.

Eyesight and vision aren't the same thing

A standard eye test measures how clearly you can see. Functional vision performance looks at how efficiently your brain and visual system work together - including focusing, eye teaming, tracking, and shifting between near and far, and visual processing. These skills can be improved through targeted neuroplasticity exercises, yet they're rarely assessed during a routine eye exam.

Train your visual system

ScreenFit™ Vision Foundations is a 30-day program designed to improve visual efficiency through short, targeted neuroplasticity exercises, short enough to fit into your current routine.

What others experienced
"One of the most impactful things he'd done for his nervous system."

Dave Asprey

Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Ben Greenfield, Dave Asprey and many other leaders in the longevity and performance space have experienced the same clinical approach this program is built on.

"Vision+++++++"

This is the easiest and best biohack I use! Easily improved my vision- no need for readers!! Recommend for the entire family!

CindyVerified Reviewer

"Great product and course!"

This program was very helpful in reducing eye strain - especially at the end of the day. My wife found her headaches and body tension were less as well as her nervous system calmed down. Learning the exercises gave me a lot of options I could use either at the end of the day, or throughout, to give my eyes a reset.

Shane B.Verified Reviewer

"This Works!"

After just six weeks of these brief exercises each day, I'm astonished at the results. Not only do I no longer get headaches from screen use, but my distance vision has improved. I've stopped wearing glasses when outside (except when driving), which is so liberating. No more trying to see through rainy glasses or having lenses steam up when going into a warm store from the cold outside. My goal now is to try to reduce glasses use indoors so that I only need them for reading. I definitely recommend the program!

Helen A.Verified Reviewer

"Loved the program from start to finish"

I love the program, with just 15 minutes a day you gain confidence in your eyes and practical advice that helps you on your daily life.

IgnacioVerified Reviewer

"Life changing!!"

Quality of life and vision can be achieved with a few min each day! All symptoms improved and do not need to have glasses at hand although I do wear the blue blocking glasses when viewing any screens.

Cindy F.Verified Reviewer

"Very pleased with the results"

Really improved my vision. I'm seeing so much clearer. Also able to track the ball better when playing pickleball, where the lighting was really tough for me to see the ball well.

Debra S.Verified Reviewer

"Improving my eyes through exercises"

I just finished a six-week eye exercise program, and notice improvement in reading road signs, and I'm able to bring more moisture to my eyes, doing the eye squeezes exercise.

Everything a skeptical optimizer should ask

I already do everything right. Why would my visual system matter?

Many people optimize sleep, nutrition and recovery, but never assess their visual system. If brain fog, mental fatigue or recovery don't quite match your efforts, it may be an overlooked part of the picture.

Is there credible science behind vision training?

Yes. Vision therapy has been used in clinical practice for decades, and the visual system is trainable through neuroplasticity. ScreenFit™ was developed by Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, who has more than 17 years of clinical experience successfully treating thousands of patients in his clinical practice.

I don't have time for another daily routine.

The program takes around 15 minutes a day for 30 days, fits into your existing routine and requires no specialist equipment.

How is this different from glasses or a standard eye test?

Glasses correct eyesight. ScreenFit™ trains functional vision - how your brain and eyes work together to process visual information. These skills aren't typically assessed in a standard eye exam.

How will I know if it's working?

Many people notice improvements in focus, mental clarity and visual comfort in as little as one week. Inside the program you'll have the opportunity to remeasure your vision performance at the mid point and the end of the program. Alongside any vision related symptoms you see improve, you'll have a measurable score to compare.
