| Topic | Discription |
| Catagory | Vision Therapy |
| Material | Beads : Plastic String : Nylon (White flexible cord with colorful beads (plastic beads and Nylone String) Flexible cord or rope, often white so visual contrast with beads is clear. Some therapeutic versions use heavier “cords” (thicker, more durable) especially for longer strings to avoid sagging. |
| Item Weight | lightweight |
| Length | Typically about 5–15 feet in clinical/therapy settings. There are variants: shorter strings (e.g. 6 ft) and longer ones (20 ft) for different distances or patient needs. |
| How to use for | One end is held at the tip of the nose (or held by the patient near nose), the other is fixed to a stationary point (door knob, wall, or held by another person). The string is kept at or somewhat below eye‐level. When focusing on a bead, the patient should see the bead singly, and two strings (one from each eye) converging at the bead forming an “X” (for nearer beads) or “V” (for further beads). Beads not being fixated should appear doubled (“physiological diplopia”). This feedback allows checking suppression or misalignment. |
| Includes Comp. | Strings and Beads |
| Purpose | Used for diagnosing and treating vergence anomalies: convergence insufficiency, strabismus (eye turn), and amblyopia (“lazy eye”). Helps develop binocular vision: eye teaming, suppression checks (ensuring the brain is using input from both eyes), spatial localization |
| Bead Diameter | Around 1.8 cm |
| Durability | Durable for repeated use; easy to clean for hygiene Durable cord or rope resists stretching so that the length/distance proportions remain stable. Beads need to slide freely but also reliably (not too loose), and the string should keep tension without breaking. Heavier cords for longer use. (Bernell’s “Heavy cord” model is an example.) Exercises should not provoke severe headache or increase existing headaches. Some mild dizziness or visual discomfort is expected but should remain tolerable (below moderate threshold) and under professional supervision. |
| Unique Selling Proposition (USP) | Provides immediate visual feedback and is cost-effective for therapy. Low cost, simple, non-electronic tool that provides immediate feedback (you can see if eyes are aligned because of bead/string patterns). Portable, can be used at home under guidance, no power needed. Versatile: can be adjusted to patient’s progress and condition (different distances, bead positions, head motions, etc.) |
