Focusing activities include using plus and minus lenses. Often, we place these lens in a “flipper” to make them easy to hold and use therapeutically. We also complete activities where you look near to far and back again. When you add the near letters f- and d- you can make the words “fish” “dish” “fad” and “dad”. This works not only on discriminating the detail, but also visual memory and visual-verbal integration.
We use many types of lenses in vision therapy training and testing. This picture features a few styles of Polaroid glasses. Polaroid glasses are often used to test and train depth perception.

She was inspired to write this story after realizing there were many books about getting glasses, but not about her passion – correcting vision issues through optometric vision therapy.
