The ability to learn in school, achieve on the job, and enjoy sports and recreation depends upon efficient vision. But vision is more than the limited concept of sight measured in terms of visual acuity or "sharpness" - it is the process of deriving meaning from what is seen. It involves a complex network of physiological and neurological factors, including fixation and eye movement abilities, accommodation (eye focusing), convergence (eye aiming), binocularity (eye teaming), eye-hand coordination, visual perception and visual-motor integration. Problems in any one of these areas can be debilitating. Vision Therapy
