- Developing visual skills includes
learning to use both eyes together
effectively. Having both eyes move, align,
fixate, and focus as a team enhances the
ability to interpret and understand the
potential available visual information.

Eye Movement Skills or Eye Tracking
Ability to follow a moving objects smoothly
and accurately with both eyes.
PURSUIT – smooth eye movements in tracking
moving objects
SACCADES – eye jumping movements when
looking from one object to another.
Visual Concentration
The ability to focus your attention on
task while filtering out peripheral
distractions.
Visualization
•Picturing different parts of your activity in
your “mind’s eye” while your eyes are seeing
and concentrating on the performance.
Understanding Visual Skills
I. Ocular Motility – Eye Movement Control
Eye movements require highest level of
movement precision in the human body.
This skill allows rapid and accurate shifting of
the eyes along a line of print in a book, quick and
accurate shifts from desk to chalkbaord, and back
again and sure tracking in sports.
Inadequate eye movements’ control
may necessitate using the finger to
help the eyes maintain fixation during
reading.
• It may show up as loss of place when reading
or copying from the chalkboard, skipping
words, or rereading, or repeatedly omitting
.Accommodation – Focusing Ability
Rapid, automatic focus adjustments are essential
to efficient visual functions.
VISION THERAPY
Vision therapy is a sequence of activities
individually prescribes and monitored by the doctor
to develop efficient visual skills and processing.
Prescribe after or comprehensive eye
examination has been performed and has
indicated that vision therapy is appropriate
treatment option.
Vision Therapy program is based on the results
of standardized tests the needs of the patient and
the patient’s signs and symptoms.
The use of lenses, prisms, filters, occluders,
specialized instruments and computer programs is
an integral part of vision therapy.
Vision therapy is administered in the office
under guidance of the doctor.
It requires a number of office visits and
depending on the severity of the diagnosed
conditional, the length of the program typically
ranges from several weeks to several months.
Activities paralleling in-office techniques as
typically taught to patient take practical at home
to reinforce the developing visual skills.
Vision Therapy
– the use of therapeutic procedures to modify
visual function.
