PURPOSE To determine the frequency and types of vision disorders associated with concussion, and to determine the success rate of vision therapy for these conditions in two private practice settings. METHODS All records over an 18-month period of patients referred for post-concussion vision problems were reviewed from two private practices. Diagnoses of vergence, accommodative, or eye movemen...

Visual attention is a set of tasks with an ubiquitous role in vision and action. It is mediated by large neural networks spanning several areas of the brain. Its two major systems, the anterior and posterior attention networks, are responsible for voluntary and reflexive visual attention, respectively, and may be affected differentially by aging, reading disability, and traumatic brain injury. ...

R Vision therapy, also known as vision training, is a term used to define highly specific, sequential, sensory-motorperceptual stimulation paradigms and regimens that are used to improve vision skills, such as eye movement control and eye coordination.1 This training procedure can be performed in both home and office settings, but always under the professional supervision of an optometrist or a...

[Purpose] To determine whether the improvement of vergence movements by vision therapy can decrease the K-ARS scores of symptomatic ADHD children. [Methods] Eighty-one out of 1,123 children surveyed using the K-ARS, a parents'-reported questionnaire, led to 16 of these 81 children being showed scores of ≥19, and measurement of binocular function diagnosed as having convergence insufficiency. Th...

OBJECTIVE To compare vision therapy/orthoptics, pencil push-ups, and placebo vision therapy/orthoptics as treatments for symptomatic convergence insufficiency in children 9 to 18 years of age. METHODS In a randomized, multicenter clinical trial, 47 children 9 to 18 years of age with symptomatic convergence insufficiency were randomly assigned to receive 12 weeks of office-based vision therapy...

PURPOSE : The purpose of this article is to compare vision therapy/orthoptics, pencil pushups, and placebo vision therapy/orthoptics as treatments for symptomatic convergence insufficiency in adults 19 to 30 years of age. METHODS : In a randomized, multicenter clinical trial, 46 adults 19 to 30 years of age with symptomatic convergence insufficiency were randomly assigned to receive 12 weeks ...
