OpticAware is a smart watch-style wearable designed to help you break the habit of eye-pressing. Whenever you raise your hand up to the level of your face, you will receive a gentle vibration like a “hug” around the wrist. The bracelet is designed to be used in tandem with the OpticAware iOS app (available on iPad and iPhone), which records each instance of eye-pressing and allows you to track your habit and identify patterns over time.
OpticAware is the first step in gaining awareness into your eye-pressing habit. By becoming more mindful, you are invited to move beyond simply stopping the behavior and start learning the underlying causes and triggers. This is not simply a behavior modification tool; it is a self-care reminder to choose healthier coping strategies. By bringing awareness to your actions, OpticAware empowers you to make positive changes and improve your overall eye health. You can learn more about eye-pressing on FamilyConnect.
