This handbook is about behavioral optometry-a specialty in the field of optometry; it is available in forty countries. You can read the facts about this valuable health care as well as case histories that illustrate how optometric vision therapy can help vision imbalances that are triggering learning, behavior and health problems. Whether it's difficulty learning to read, attention deficit-hyperactivity, autism, migraines or depression-whether the patient is young or old, healthy or traumatic brain-injured-when this therapy helps bring balance to vision, often the problems are reduced, even eliminated.
Optometric vision therapy has helped countless people whose eyesight was excellent but whose vision was not. From the chapter, "Why Do Children Fail," to "It's Never Too Late," and the helpful "Your Infant's Vision, A Home Guide for Parents," this handbook offers a brief overview of a beneficial health care.
