Surprisingly, exotropia can present some of the most difficult challenges in vision therapy. The treatment of exotropia includes both aligning eyes and making sure the patient performs comfortably and efficiently when the eyes are aligned. Alignment does not ensure comfort, and comfort does not ensure alignment. Procedures for both are needed. How does therapy vary when the exotropia is constant versus intermittent? Day one will cover the basics of exotropia treatment including convergence insufficiency, divergence excess, and constant exotropia. Attendees…

Topic: Basics of Behavioral Vision Care with Shaun Golemba, OD
Details: Do you have an interest in Binocular Vision, but don’t know how to integrate it into your routine? Do you feel your Optometric Education has left you a bit unprepared? Dr. Shaun Golemba, will introduce you to the Basics of Behavioural Vision care. In this two hour course, your knowledge of accommodative and occulomotor dysfunctions will increase and you will be able to articulate what you will do differently to diagnose and treat these conditions.

Visualization is a skill that can have a significant impact on patients in a vision therapy program, yet it is commonly not emphasized in many optometric programs and often misunderstood. This two day seminar will review our current understanding of visualization from a behavioral and neurophysiological view and teach how visualization techniques may be incorporated into any VT program. Specific procedures designed to help patients with reading, math, and spelling will be reviewed, as well as how visualization may be…

Movement, the visual process and the development of processing/ perceptual skills are intrinsically linked. They are in a dynamic, continuous and cyclical relationship.This RCS presentation will describe the impact of infantile reflexes and primary movement patterns upon the development of the visual process. It will provide an organized approach to testing and therapy activities.This RCS will explore the development and learning of gross and fine motor skill together with primitive and postural reflexes in the control of movements and posture.…

"There is no orderly life without proper motion. Visual processing can show this impressively."Showing very good results as well with typical deficits in processing because of binocular coordination delays (FD), or after TBI´s, or simply in the presence of asthenopic complaints, with postural deficits, aso, I think these motion exercises a MUST for behavioral optometrists offering VT. Abstract:No matter in which state of life your patient is, with movements of body and eyes - whose benefits and realisation in practise are easy…
