This book addresses the limited information on vision training and the importance of having knowledge of superior visual skills in our everyday, individualised environment including the classroom, workspace, and sports setting. It is an instruction manual explaining vision training in terms of what it can be used for and who can benefit from it. The manual provides examples of over 200 exercises of 23 different visual skills, covering fundamental and advanced skills, also including visual perceptual skills and sport-specific skills. It explains the tests that an eye-care professional can do to determine the level of a patient/athlete’s visual skills to regulate where improvement needs to be done. Written in a concise manner and supplemented with insightful visual materials, the book will allow the reader to formulate an individualised program according to the needs of the patient/athlete.
