How to practice Vision or Neuro-Optometric Therapy
Conduct therapy under a licensed neuro-optometrist or vision therapist. Typical course: 8–12 weeks with daily home practice. Adherence and therapist expertise are key to success. Avoid generalized “vision training” programs without documented oculomotor or perceptual deficits.
The evidence behind Vision or Neuro-Optometric Therapy
Evidence supports therapy for convergence insufficiency and post-concussive oculomotor deficits. Mechanistically, repetitive visual-motor exercises enhance sensory integration and eye–brain coordination. Evidence moderate for specific deficits, weak for general cognitive enhancement. Benefits often include reduced dizziness, eye strain, and improved reading efficiency.
