Self-Help Eye Exercises with Pencil Push-ups, Kits, or Computer Programs Self-help eye exercise programs such as the now defunct See Clearly Method or the Vision for Life program are NOT to be confused with Vision Therapy. Vision Therapy involves therapeutic procedures supervised by an optometrist or vision therapist as well as the use of medically regulated devices, such as lenses and prisms. CVS2 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use web-based vergence exercise program that your patients can run on Windows & Mac computers, iPads, Tablets and Chromebooks. CVS2 encourages and motivates your patient by continuously evaluating their progress and making the exercises more challenging whenever the goals are achieved.

As I discussed in the first top 10 activities list, computer programs are a great addition to a standard vision therapy program. The two sets of programs I use frequently are Vision Builder and those produced by Home Therapy Systems. Vision Builder is an all-in-one program and can be used in-office and at home. There are vergence, tracking, anti-suppression, and perceptual components to the program. One bonus is that you can generate your own Hart charts with a variety of rows and columns to suit your patients’ abilities.
Home Therapy Systems has multiple programs depending on your patient’s needs. There are programs for both in-office and home-based therapy that focus on accommodation/vergence, amblyopia, and perception. I love the home-based version because the results are sent to a main system, and I can log in to evaluate the patients’ performances and confirm that they are actually doing the work assigned. Because patients can travel from up to several hours away, this program allows for controlled home-based therapy. Even though I push for office-based vision therapy as a first approach, Home Therapy Systems eases my mind in regard to home-based treatment.
