(also known as vision training) Therapy involving exercises which are aimed at improving visual skills such as, eye teaming, binocular co-ordination and depth perception, focusing, acuity (clarity of sight), and "hand-eye" or "vision-body" co-ordination. Vision therapy can involve a variety of procedures to correct neo-physiological or neuro-sensory visual dysfunctions. Practiced by optometrists.
A set of exercises to correct minor visual problems associated with sensory and/or muscular deficiencies of the visual system. Examples: cross-eyed, wandering eye. Go to Top

specific therapies and corrective lenses designed to treat visual disorders resulting from brain injury or defect.
The carefully programmed series of visual activities, which may include the use of selected lenses and prisms that are applied in an effort to explore, extend, and enhance all the visual abilities and skills the human is capable of developing. These procedures are practiced most prevalently by developmental optometrists, and have been generated and validated by these professionals through clinical practice and carefully designed research. Such regimens have been very beneficial to students whose academic problems have some basis in visual inadequacies. Likewise, such vision care has been extremely beneficial in the attack upon the visual difficulties that originates through excessive stress in the classroom. Although there is continuing discussion of the validity and benefits of this special clinical care, such controversy is rapidly fading among those clinicians who take the time and make the effort to intelligently investigate these concepts and their applications. Many routines borrowed from the developmental optometrist by the special education teacher are now part and parcel of special education programs in hundreds of schools and colleges.
A series of visual procedures used to retrain the brain and eyes to work smoothly and efficiently together.
physical therapy for the visual system which includes the brain and eyes. Through a series of progressive eye exercises, patients develop or can recover normal visual skills.
(orthopedics, vision training, eye exercises) a treatment process for the improvement of visual perception and/or coordination of the two eyes for efficient and comfortable binocular vision
