Learning Objectives
- 1.Understand development of vision in terms of schema acquisition 2.Define Visual Dysfunction 3.Identify a patient’s refractive status including: Hyperopia, Myopia, Astigmatism, Presbyopia 4.Understand types of lenses available: Single vision, bifocal, multifocal, Plus, minus & toric
- 1.Understand the use of lenses in optometric practice: Compensatory, Therapeutic, Training 2.Understand prisms and their use in optometric practice: Compensatory, Therapeutic & Yoke, Disruptive, Training 3.Experience and understand the relevance of SILO optical properties
- 1.Understand accommodation control in terms of accuracy, stamina & flexibility 2.Understand binocularity or vergence ability in terms of accuracy, stamina and flexibility 3.Identify & understand the salient features of a vision examination which are relevant in the therapy room including: Tropia versus phoria, Accommodation measurements
- 1.Understand the role of stress on visual function & schema breakdown 2.Identify aspects of visual function which change as a result of stress or excessive demand 3.Understand factors that determine efficient visual function 4.Review examination data for results which are not expected 5.Understand the role of vision therapy in treating visual dysfunction
- 1.Understand the importance of diagnosing & treating functional vision problems based on their incidence and impact 2.Identify symptoms & signs that may be related to functional vision problems 3.Broadly define dyslexia and understand how vision therapy may be able to assist a patient with dyslexia 4.Understand the relevance of attention, fixation & visualisation vision therapy when treating disorders of accommodation and convergence.
- 1.Demonstrate vision therapy procedural and tool knowledge including techniques using: Filters (polarised), SILO, Yoked prisms 2.Understand the importance of including spatial references & proximal localisation during vision therapy for accommodation & vergence. 3.Understand the importance of “whole body” vision therapy activities incorporating: Movement, Vestibular, Anti-gravity, Proprioception, Timing/Beat
- 1.Demonstrate vision therapy procedural and tool knowledge including techniques using: Tranaglyphs, Disruptive (disassociated) prisms, SILO 2.Understand the relevance of vision therapy activities used to treat visual dysfunction including: Vertical Alignment, Eccentric circles, 3.Overlapping Pictures, Red/Green Circles , Bug on a String 4.Identify how to appropriately load or alter each activity appropriate to the patient’s needs and goals/outcomes
- 1.Manage a patient in vision therapy by considering required outcomes based on clinical findings and prognosis, whilst also considering the age, development or special requirements of the patient 2.Manipulate the levels of demand of various activities by increasing or decreasing the load 3.Understand factors influencing the hierarchy of the design and implementation of Vision training program 4.Review relevant cases and identify clinical findings and suggest relevant vision therapy activities
