Do you see what I see? Sharpen focus-power with Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day. Fast, fun activities and quick-play sports challenges give eyes a challenging workout they need. Games on the NDS help provide visual perceptual therapy. Number Flash - In this activity, numbers flash very briefly on the top screen. Users must then choose the correct number. As the activity gets harder, the number sequence gets longer. Box Track - A circle is placed in one of three boxes. The challenge is to follow the box with the circle in it as the three shuffle rapidly on the screen. Users must then tap the box with the circle in it. Circle Spot - In this activity, symbols appear for a split second in 12 boxes arranged on the touch screen. Users must tap the only circle among the symbols Letter Count - Users quickly memorize the target letter, then count how many times it appears as a fast-moving series of letters moves across the screen Fast Match - Users quickly look at the two symbols as they flash on the screen, then decide if they matched by tapping on the touch screen. Baseball - Tap the ball on the touch screen as the pitch crosses the plate to score a hit. With each hit, the box gets bigger, making it more challenging to hit the speeding pitch

Features:

• Boost Your Focus Power - Train with quick, fun activities based on vision-training programs used by top athletes.
• Put eyes to real-world tests - Take a swing at a speeding pitch, outmaneuver incoming linebackers and strike the soccer ball into the goal in fun, sports-based training activities.
• Pick up and play every day - Users complete daily training activities to challenge Hand-Eye Coordination, Peripheral Vision, Dynamic Visual Acuity, Momentary Vision and Eye Movement, then track their results with a calendar and easy-to-understand charts.
• Symbol Order - Three symbols flash on the screen in any of the 12 boxes. One symbol appears at a time for only a split second. The challenge is to remember each symbol and then enter all three symbols in the order in which they appeared
• Box Tap - Furiously tap a series of moving red boxes before they disappear. The more users successfully tap, the higher the score

Rating: - So-so game
I have about 20 nintendo DS games, and all of them are either puzzles or brain development games. I did not like this particular one because it records the results only once a day and there is no way to improve that one result. I did not like that at all. Also, there is no training where you can train as much as you want to, as only the first result is recorded. this is why the product has 2 stars.

I got this as a gift for my husband and he seems to like it. It's more of a learning game which is what he likes most.

Rating: - Novel way of training your vision, in a light hearted manner
Flash Focus DS The premise of Flash Focus is that it is a daily vision training tool for your eyes. The exercises are intended to gauge and improve 5 abilities that range from movement tracking, hand eye coordination, to peripheral vision. There are fundamental exercises that train you, and there are sports activities designed to both train and entertain you. For the first 2-3 weeks, I felt Flash Focus was kind of fun. I didn't really feel an improvement, although it said I was steadily improving. After awhile, it got very boring especially once I unlocked all of the activities. Most of the exercises do not really test your vision skills but instead evaluate your brain. The number flash, letter count, and a lot of the other exercises test your ability to memorize and regurgitate the numbers you saw. In advanced mode, the game flashes a long number for a split second and demands you to input the exact number. If you transpose 2 digits or miss one, it is considered wrong. I've gone to several optometrists and ophthalmologists in the past and they never had such testing going on. Overall, it is a fun novelty game that may or may not improve your vision with regular use. The novelty wore off quickly in my experience. Pros: Easy way to track, manage, and improve your vision based on the game's parameters. Nifty sound effects, and some of the sports activities are entertaining. Cons: Dated graphics, most of the exercises test your photographic memory capabilities rather than your vision. I never understood the peripheral vision test on a Nintendo DS. The real eye doctors use a much different test for peripheral vision Overall: 3/5 stars

Rating: - MUST HAVE!!!!!!
A lot like brain age but you work on your eye and hand coordination, reaction time and flash memorization skills. The sports exercises deal with eye, hand coordination and reaction time while the flash memorization exercises engages you when information is quickly flashed on the screen and you have to remember what you saw and where you saw it. I find the sports exercises more enjoyable than the memory ones but overall a lot fun.... Huge bonus is that now I am more aware or more accurately alert to what is around me while I am out and about in the world. My ability to retain more information and my reaction time has improved..... Anyway, I highly recommend this game!!!
