ABSTRACT
Vision therapy is a program of personalized visual exercises by which neurophysiological stimulation is provided to develop, improve and integrate visual capacities. It consists of a series of specific activities designed to correct vision problems. The purpose of vision therapy is to obtain single, neat, comfortable and efficient vision. In today's information and knowledge society, characterized by excessive use of near vision, leading to ocular symptoms resulting from visual stress, this is a therapy option to be taken into account in its various forms.
