Vision therapy is a subset of behavioral optometry. In general, vision therapists attempt to improve the vision, and therefore day-to-day well-being, of patients using "eye exercises," prism, and lenses, with more emphasis on the patient's visual function.
In human vision, the useful field of view (or UFOV) is the visual area from which information can be extracted without eye or head movements. [1] UFOV size generally decreases with age, [2] most likely due to decreases in visual processing speed, reduced perception, and increased susceptibility to distraction.
The Bates method is an ineffective and potentially dangerous alternative therapy aimed at improving eyesight.Eye-care physician William Horatio Bates (1860–1931) held the erroneous belief that the extraocular muscles caused changes in focus and that "mental strain" caused abnormal action of these muscles; hence he believed that relieving such "strain" would cure defective vision.
A Brock string (named after Frederick W. Brock) is an instrument used in vision therapy. It consists of a white string of approximately 10 feet in length with three small wooden beads of different colors. [1] The Brock string is commonly employed during treatment of convergence insufficiency and other anomalies of binocular vision.
