How to Use the Saccades Game

  1. Set Up
    • Sit about 1–1.5 feet (30–45 cm) from your screen.
    • Make sure you’re in a well-lit room and your screen is level with your eyes.
  2. Who This Is For
    • Anyone needing to train rapid eye‐movement shifts (saccades)
    • Patients with reading fatiguebinocular instability, or who need quick target reacquisition (athletes, drivers, gamers)
  3. The Exercise
    • When the page loads, you’ll see a green “Tap” button (the moving target) inside a box.
    • Tap the green circle as it moves around the box—move only your eyes, not your head.
    • Each successful tap increments your Score below the box.
  4. Goals & Protocol
    • Duration: 30 seconds per set.
    • Reps: 3 sets with a 30 second rest between sets.
    • Frequency: 2× daily (morning & evening).
    • Progress: Try to increase your total taps each session.
  5. Logging
    • When you finish your last set, click the ✅ Done button to record your session.
    • Check your dashboard later to see how your saccadic speed is improving over time.

Tip: Keep your head still—only your eyes should jump from target to target. If you miss the circle, don’t chase it; refocus and continue tapping when it reappears.
