Simply Visio offers a proven e-training to increase your reading ability!
E-training improves your vision
Simply Visio has developed a training you can do yourself at home. Simple, proven successful and 100% safe. Even if you are already under treatment of an eye doctor, an optometrist or an orthoptist. All you need is a PC or tablet.
As you age, your vision changes. You can develop eye conditions that can affect your eyesight. The risk of eye diseases increases and may obstruct your active lifestyle and diminish your independence. For example reading and recognising faces become difficult or even impossible. These are some of the eye diseases that may occur when getting older:
Macular Degeneration is a disease that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving.
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. It is usually associated with high pressure in the eye and affects side or peripheral vision.
Diabetic eye disease is a complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness. The most common form is when diabetes damages the tiny blood vessels inside the retina.
The e-training consists of two phases. These have been designed by experts with a long history in clinical research and hands-on experience in low vision. The training programme is customised to your needs and you will be able to adjust the font size and colour.
The programme starts with a self-assessment test measuring your reading ability. Based on the assessment, we design a customised training plan according to the user’s responses. Systematic, easy-to-hard exercises for 6 weeks, 5 days per week, 30 minutes per day. With simple exercises you will train the remaining healthy retina and the Preferred Retinal Locus (PRL).
Once you have completed the PRL training (phase 1), we propose you to continue to phase 2: reading exercises that are specially designed for each user.
In this section, you’ll read sentences and paragraphs. The aim is to further develop your reading ability and speed.
First scientific results of vision rehabilitation have been presented by Simply Visio founder Dr. Murat Erbezci at ‘the 5th International Congress on Low Vision and the Brain’ in Berlin in 2018. He revealed significant improvement in the patients reading abilities, as well as overall vision.
When having eye conditions or eye diseases it’s important to consult a specialist. Has your eye doctor, optometrist or optician never mentioned this training? This may be because Simply Visio has just innovated this software that can be used at home, although the method itself has been used in hospitals and clinics for a long time. It is safe and proven. You can consult your specialist by downloading the method in PDF here and showing it to him/her.

The e-training of Simply Visio is based on a well known and proven method. The training can be done by everyone and in any circumstances. Also when you are treated by an eye doctor, an optometrist or an orthoptist. The only thing you need is a tablet or PC and a comfortable place with enough light (approximately 100-200 lux).
The training itself consists of reading words and later little sentences. Optionally you can subscribe to newspapers and sudoku’s, all tailor made to your level of reading. The more you read again, the better!
Additionally, Simply Visio offers other reading tools in your language. The e-reader enables patients to read books, documents and newspapers, and make sudoku’s. Once you register, the text will be displayed in accordance with your visual needs, as determined in past phases. You won’t have to reset the settings before each session, but you have the freedom to make adjustments when desired. This reading service is available as a subscription for € 7,50 per month.
Simply Visio is a software platform that aims to help low vision patients. It is a result of ophthalmologist Dr. Murat Erbezci’s twenty years of experience on the field.
So far, rehabilitation methods are practiced at a hospital or a clinic, which poses a difficulty for patients with limited mobility.
Simply Visio set out the design for software for these proven methods. With as a result, the e-training you can use at home.
Simply Visio was founded by Dr. Murat Erbezci, Dr. Bulent Serçin and Osman Akdemir. The Simply Visio e-training is a result of Dr Erbezci’s knowledge and experience in low vision, Dr. Serçin’s in medical technology and Osman Akdemir’s competence and knowledge in information technologies.
