Overview

Vision therapy is a non-surgical form of treatment that uses structured exercises and activities to improve visual function, including eye coordination, focusing, tracking, and the processing of visual information. It is applied to conditions such as binocular vision disorders, strabismus, amblyopia, and certain visual-perceptual difficulties, with the aim of strengthening the coordination between the eyes and the brain. As part of ophthalmic and optometric care, it complements optical correction and, where needed, surgical management. The articles gathered here relate to the broader assessment and management of visual function and ocular disease within which vision therapy sits. Visual screening and measurement feature in work validating the Titmus vision screener against the Snellen chart and in study of how race, age, and pupil size affect a photorefraction device. The impact of impaired sight is examined through surveys of how visual impairment affects quality of life and analyses of access and barriers to ophthalmic services. Clinical ocular conditions appear in reports of macular degeneration with choroidal imaging biomarkers, corneal ulcer management, uveitis treatment, vision loss after facial fracture repair, and chiasmal lesions with ocular manifestations. Together these contributions reflect the wider field in which vision care operates: assessing visual function accurately, understanding the consequences of visual loss, and managing the ocular and neurological conditions that determine how well the visual system performs.
