Vision · Your Results
Your vision, explained by your score.
Find your band below. Your app result points you straight to it. Vision shows up as two readings, how sharp your sight is and how well you see contrast, and they can move apart.
Vision, monitored over time.
Vision is one of your five senses. Complete all five within 14 days to generate your full Sensory Score.
First, the most important idea
Vision shows up as two readings. Visual acuity is how sharp and clear your sight is, the eye-chart measure. Contrast sensitivity is how well you separate something from a background of a similar shade, which is what you lean on in low light, fog, and at night. Contrast can fade while sharpness still looks fine, and that early gap is often the first thing worth catching. Some conditions, glaucoma among them, can progress while the chart still reads normal, which is exactly why the direction matters more than any single score: a reading drifting down from your own baseline is the signal to act.
Superior or Strong
Your vision is strong. Keep it that way.
Good news. Both your sharpness and your contrast are reading well. The job now is to protect them and keep a record, with routine eye exams alongside.
- Keep up regular eye exams. They are the baseline that catches a quiet change early, even when you still see well.
- Protect your eyes. Wear UV sunglasses, do not smoke (it raises macular degeneration risk), and manage blood pressure and blood sugar, since your eyes reflect your vascular health.
- Keep a record. Re-measure once a year, so a strong score becomes a strong trend.
When to re-measure
Once a year, alongside the eye-exam schedule your eye doctor recommends.
Average or Typical
Your vision is in the typical range.
Nothing here calls for action today. Lock this in as your baseline and re-measure each year. The first sign worth catching is a drop from your own number.
- Set this as your baseline. Re-measure annually, and keep up routine eye exams.
- Watch the contrast reading. If contrast dips even while sharpness holds, mention it to your eye doctor. That gap can show up first.
- Protect your eyes. UV sunglasses, no smoking, and steady blood pressure and blood sugar all help.
When to re-measure
Once a year, or sooner if your sight or night vision changes.
Low or declining
Your vision score is low. Here's what to do.
A low score means your sharpness, your contrast, or both are reduced right now. With vision, the right next step is a professional one, and that is good news, because the most common causes are very treatable. This is not a home-training situation. The move is to get your eyes checked, with your result in hand.
Get an eye exam
An optometrist or ophthalmologist can usually find the cause quickly. The most common ones are very fixable:
- An out-of-date prescription. The most common reason sharpness drops, and the quickest to fix with updated glasses or contacts.
- Cataract. Very common with age, and treating it is one of the highest-impact steps you can take. Clearer vision is tied to fewer falls and a better cognitive trajectory.
- Conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. These are most treatable when caught early, which is the whole point of monitoring.
Bring your SuperSenses result to the exam so they can see what changed.
Which reading is low tells you what to watch
- If sharpness is low, it is most often a prescription or a cataract. An exam sorts which.
- If contrast is low even with okay sharpness, name it specifically at the exam. Reduced contrast can be an early sign, and it makes night driving and stairs riskier.
What helps alongside the exam
These support your sight, they do not replace getting checked:
- Brighten and even out your lighting where you read and work. Good light does a lot for reduced contrast.
- Update your glasses if the prescription is old.
- Protect your eyes: UV sunglasses, no smoking, steady blood pressure and blood sugar.
- Go easy on night driving until you have been checked.
When to re-measure
After you have been seen and any correction is in place, new glasses or a treated cataract, re-measure to confirm the gain and set your new baseline.
When it is urgent
Some vision changes need same-day care, not a routine booking:
- Sudden loss of vision, in part or all of your field
- A curtain or shadow moving across your sight
- A burst of new floaters, or flashes of light
- Eye pain, or sudden double vision
If any of these happen, seek urgent eye care or go to an emergency department right away.
One practical note. Reduced vision, and reduced contrast in particular, makes night driving, glare, and stairs riskier. Improve your lighting, use handrails, and be cautious driving at night until you have been checked.
