Vision Training for Presbyopic Nonstrabismic Patients

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of home vision training on presbyopic patients with vision-related symptoms.
Prescriptive home vision training for 161 patients aged 45 to 89 with specific vision issues.
Patients underwent a maximum of 15 weeks of training, typically lasting 10 weeks or less.
Visual skill assessments and optometric tests were conducted before and after the training.
92% of patients reported elimination of symptoms and improvement on optometric tests after training.
Follow-up evaluation showed that 77 patients needed additional training after 3 months.
Older patients were more likely to require additional training to maintain improvements.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Home vision training was prescribed for 161 presbyopic patients (ages 45 to 89) who had vision‐related symptoms and convergence insufficiency or visual skills deficiencies. Most patients required 10 weeks or less of treatment, the longest treatment period being 15 weeks. Elimination of the symptoms and improved responses on certain optometric tests was achieved by 92% of the patients. Evaluation 3 months after therapy indicated that 77 patients required additional training, the older patients requiring it more often, to retain the initial improvement.
