Research
Attention therapy can significantly improve reading comprehension and attention scores in students, with an experimental group showing substantial progress compared to a control group. It supports the idea that visual attention can be improved through therapy.
This landmark trial found that in-office vision therapy combined with at-home reinforcement was highly effective (75% success rate) in treating Convergence Insufficiency (CI) in children, significantly improving visual function, reading performance, and reducing symptoms compared to home-based therapy alone or placebo.
Efficacy of vision therapy for convergence insufficiency in an adult male population
The Effects of Sports Vision Training on Binocular Vision Function in Female Athletes
Vision therapy is effective for adult males with convergence insufficiency, successfully reducing eye strain (asthenopia) and improving convergence. It also suggests that a combination of in-office and home therapy yields better results than home therapy alone.
Sports vision training can significantly improve binocular vision function in female university athletes, confirming that these visual skills are trainable and can be enhanced through targeted training programs.
When vision training is initiated as a team wide exercise, the incidence of concussion decreases in players who participate in training compared to players who do not receive the vision training. Vision training produces functional and performance changes that, when monitored, can be used to assess the success of the vision training and can be initiated as part of a sports medical intervention for concussion prevention.
Research and Clinical Studies on Vision, Learning, and Optometric Vision Therapy
This summary article presented by the College of Vision Development (COVD) presents over 350 abstracts from 77 different journals within education, optometry, ophthalmology, neurology and psychology fields of study. This strongly supports COVD’s view that vision and learning are indeed intimately interconnected.
