Innovation Means Better Care Sooner. Evidence supporting this approach is however weak; the American Academy of Pediatrics , the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus have said that learning disabilities are neither caused nor treatable by visual methods. Behavioral optometry is considered by some optometrists to have its origins in orthoptic vision therapy.
Skeffington was an American optometrist known to some as "the father of behavioral optometry". A review in concluded that there were insufficient controlled studies of the approach [45] and a review concluded that "a large majority of behavioral management approaches are not evidence-based, and thus cannot be advocated.
Practitioners of sports vision training claim to be able to enhance the function of a current athlete's vision beyond what is expected in individuals with already healthy visual systems. Alternative vision therapies include methods that some patients feel subjectively help them. Many optometrists and ophthalmologists are skeptical of the efficacy of these methods and practices, though some have been found to have at least a basis in studied principles to some limited degree such as syntonics and melanopsin , TBI and tinted lenses, and the adoption of EMDR by the VA Hospital in the USA.
Some physicians are skeptical about the efficacy of "vision therapy" stating that it lacks data and is mostly anecdotal. College of Optometrists noted the "Continued absence of rigorous scientific evidence to support behavioral management approaches" in the second college of Optometrists report. In it reviewed 35 years of the literature in support of vision therapy and issued a statement — in conjunction with other ophthalmological associations — condemning the therapy and its contention that it could help with learning disabilities.
Visual problems, it claimed, are not the basis for learning disabilities. Various forms of visual therapy have been used for centuries. This early and traditional form of vision therapy was the foundation of what is now known as orthoptics.
In the first half of the twentieth century, orthoptists, working with ophthalmologists , introduced a variety of training techniques mainly designed to improve binocular function. In the second half of the twentieth century, vision therapy began to be used by optometrists and paramedical personnel to treat conditions ranging from uncomfortable vision to poor reading and academic performance. It has also been claimed specifically to improve eyesight, and even to improve athletic performance.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, most vision therapy is done by optometrists, while traditional orthoptics continues to be practiced by orthoptists and ophthalmologists. Based on assessments of claims and studies of published data, ophthalmologists claim that, except for near point of convergence exercises, vision therapy lacks documented evidence of effectiveness.
