👁What is the purpose of this exercise, what binouclar vision dysfunctions can be treated with this exercise, and what important visual skills will this exercise improve for you?
• Repeated accurate performance of this exercise can
• Detail recognition - improve your best corrected vision (quality of your vision with best possible contacts or glasses prescription) in your weaker eye (lazy eye) .
• Central Anti-Suppression - improve your brain's ability to pay attention to both of your eyessimultaneously at all times in your central ad peripheral field and eliminate any tendencies you have to see with only one eye for brief or prolonged times. Central & Peripheral Suppressions are adaptations by the brain that eliminate perception of the central or peripheral vision. For example, when a person has a misalignment of the eyes, the brain chooses to suppress the vision of one eye for the person not to see double.
• Oculomotor Functions (Saccades) - improve your eyes' saccadic ability. Saccade is the tracking eye movement where the eyes accurately jump from one target to another.
• Oculomotor Functions (Pursuits) - improve your eyes' smooth pursuit ability. Smooth pursuit is the tracking eye movement in which the eyes accurately follow a moving target.
• Oculomotor Functions (Fixations) - improve your eyes' fixation ability. Fixation is the ability of the eyes to hold the eyes steady without moving off the target.
• Visuomotor Dysfunctions (Hand-eye Coordination) - improve your hand-eye coordination. Hand-eye coordination is the ability to do activities that require the simultaneous use of your hands and eyes. Visuomotor Dysfunctions are the disorders that affect the proper coordination of the visual and motor components of the brain.
• Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) - used for Amblyopia treatment. Amblyopia is a vision development problem where the quality of one eye's best corrected vision is reduced. For example, when a person has more farsightedness in one eye than the other or has an eye turn, the brain learns to ignore the input from that eye (suppression) during the stages of development. The person, then, suffers from reduced vision in the lazy eye.
👁How can this exercise be modified?
• MFBF (Monocular Fixation in a Binocular Field) - Category of vision therapy exercises where one eye fixates on a central field of vision while the other eye pays attention to the peripheral field of vision.
• Monocular - Category of vision therapy exercises where procedures are done with one eye patched or covered. Red-Green glasses will not be needed for this exercise. Simply cover one eye and follow the instructions.
• Bi-Ocular - Category of vision therapy exercises where procedures are done with both eyes open. Each eye simultaneously sees a target under un-fused situation and the focus is alternately shifted between the targets. Red-Green glasses will not be needed for this exercise; however, a septum or prism can be used to train both eyes.
• Binocular - Category of vision therapy exercises where procedures are done with both eyes open. Red-Green glasses will not be needed for this exercise. Simply, perform the procedures with both eyes open.

👁Vision Therapy Eye Exercise Instructional Videos are meant to help you (our patients that have previously undergone a Comprehensive Binocular Vision Evaluation) better understand the directions for each of your prescribed personalized Vision Therapy exercises that you need to perform each day. The purpose of these exercises are to train your eyes and your brain to better the visual skills that you need in your day to day activities.
👁Vision Therapy is a personalized progressive program of hundreds of vision exercises that can last several months or years, and is performed under the direct supervision of an Optometrist or a Vision Therapist. This exercise is ONE of the many eye exercises we do with our patients during vision therapy.
