Before you proceed to EyeGym and take part in any of the drills, we strongly recommend that you seek advice from your licensed medical practitioner if you have either experienced seizures in the past or believe that you may potentially experience seizures due to flickering on the screen.

If you are in any way uncertain of what effect flickering images at a rate of 25-35 Frames Per Second is going to have on you we ask that you DO NOT enter EyeGym until you have received medical confirmation that it is safe for you to participate in the drills. Seizures may be caused by the following conditions: epilepsy; visual photosensitivity; heart disorders (including, but not limited to, cardiac arrhythmia); or use of a pacemaker, stimulants, tranquilizers, psychotropic medications, drugs or alcohol. This list is not intended to be exhaustive and you should consult with your medical practitioner before proceeding if you have reason to suspect that you may have a problem.
