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…
