How To Find Behavioral Optometrists
Hello all….
I wanted to share two useful websites with you.This is courtesy the Program For Better Vision.
Firstly, let’s define what a behavioral optometrist is…
A behavioral optometrist is a doctor who believes that how you see is the result of how you have learned to use your eyes and that visual skills – including how clearly you can see – can be enhanced through exercise, relaxation and training. He/she has received specialized training, can give you a comprehensive examination and can perform all the required tests.
Of course, a behavioral optometrist, like a regular optometrist, can prescribe glasses and contacts. But a behavioral optometrist would be more likely to comply with your request for an undercorrected prescription (a weaker pair of glasses or contacts that allows your eyes to benefit from a natural vision improvement program).
In addition, a behavioral optometrist can provide a program of training that improves overall visual functioning.
Here are two sites which allow you to search and find behavioral optometrist:
College of Optometrists in Vision Development
Optometric Extension Program Foundation
Hope this helps…

Thank you so much for creating this blog! You’ve inspired me to start doing eye exercises as well. Hopefully I’ll actually stick to them.
I hope your eyesight continues to improve. Good luck!
Hello Jilley,
Thanks for the good words. I hope you also see significant improvement in your eyesight. The key is to do the exercises regularly… every day preferably. Lately, I haven’t been doing them every day
You’re welcome to talk about your progress on the blog anytime you like.
Hope to hear some good news from you soon.
