Neuroscientist's iPad App can Train Your Brain to See Farther

Aaron Seitz, a neuroscientist from the University of California, created an app that when used repeatedly, would condition users to see farther.
It's called Ultimeyes and was tested on a team of baseball players in which it increased their eyesight by 31% 
It doesn't improve your physical eyes or eye muscles, it strictly works on the brain by rewiring it to perform certain advanced functions.
It works by presenting several faded objects on the screen and forcing the user to identify different patterns.
Users do this constantly as each round of patterns becomes harder than the last.
