Gameplayer has gone hands-on with Sight Training (known as Flash Focus in the USA. They have detailed their experience in this article.
"Self-improvement is all the rage on the DS. Like Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training before it, Sight Training promises to deliver the player a genuine physical improvement just by spending a few minutes a day performing simple puzzle tasks. The difference is that instead of increasing blood-flow to your frontal lobes, the idea is to refine your control over your eye movements."
IGN AU: ""From the moment the sun rises, we are naturally looking at the things around us. And yet if we simply close our eyes, we have a hard time finding our way out the door." So begins the introduction to Sight Training, a game that follows in the same exact mould as Nintendo's hugely successful Brain Training titles, but forgets a few vital points. Namely; personality, varied and fun games, and a somewhat believable pretext. Honestly, sight training? Testing my 'Eye Age'? That makes no sense".
For all those who ever wanted to be an athlete, or maybe just train like one, the Nintendo DS has just launched the new Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day.
Similar to the Nintendo's brain training exercises, Flash Focus aims to train users' eyes in areas like hand-eye coordination, peripheral vision and visual acuity, according to Nintendo.com.

It's good that games like this exist, I still play my Brain Age once in a while, it saves me from reading a book all the damn time. I'm planing on getting Brain Age 2 and when this comes out, I'll get it for sure.
