Please comment regarding visual training. Thank you.

Answered by Richard E. Gans, M. D. (xx102@ofcn.org)

Vision therapy and visual training are processes advocated almost exclusively by optometrists. Although I am not familiar with all of the literature supporting vision therapy, I have yet to see any conclusive, responsible, controlled, clinically significant studies to support its use.

I would be glad to review and comment upon any quality studies that defend this practice.
