Optometric Vision Training

GEORGE R. BEAUCHAMP MD1

1 Chairman, Committee on Vision and Learning Disabilities, American Academy of Ophthalmology, Cleveland

Optometric vision training is controversial, and knowledgeable individuals question its targets and efficacy. In responding to a position paper of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology on learning disabilities, dyslexia, and vision,1 Flax et al2 raise issues worthy of close scrutiny, and recent literature provides useful perspective.

Before commenting on the issues, the air should be clear on the central perspective: the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology, and American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus have expressed one, and only one, concern in promulgating their position: the best interests of people with learning disabilities.
