Behavioral optometry has evolved significantly, addressing vision

Area of Science:

  • Optometry
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Behavioral optometry encompasses case analysis and vision therapy.
  • Differing practitioner perspectives can lead to communication challenges.

Observation:

  • The field evolved from strabismus orthoptics and asthenopic complaint resolution.
  • Two main developmental lines: traditional physiological models and behavioral approaches.

Findings:

  • Traditional models focus on accommodation-convergence and vergence dysfunction.
  • Behavioral approaches examine environmental influences, vision's role in behavior, and information processing.

Implications:

  • Behavioral optometry now includes school achievement, VDT use, sports, and information processing.
