Vision Therapy Debunked

3/24/2014

0 Comments

 
The American Academy of Ophthalmology created a Policy Statement in the year 2009 (which floors me that its been around that long) in which they performed extensive research into Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia and Vision and determined that vision problems are not the cause of primary dyslexia or learning disabilities.  "Scientific evidence does not support the efficacy of eye exercises, behavioral vision therapy, or special tinted filters or lenses for improving the long-term educational performance in these complex pediatric neurocognitive conditions.....are not endorsed and should not be recommended."  For more information or to read a full copy of this Policy Statement, read the full article which AAO shared recently at an IDA 2013 Conference http://bit.ly/19OcOim (the O's are letters) or directly thru              http://www.aao.org/about/policy/upload/Learning-Disabilities-Dyslexia-Vision-2009.pdf
