A member asked:

Could vision therapy work to improve visiton?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No evidence: Vision therapy is an untested, unproven means allegedly to improve visual efficiency. It cannot improve basic vision which requires eyeglasses or correction of eye disease. Vision therapy is expensive and of no benefit. If this has been recommended for you, consult with a neuro-ophthalmologist.
