Vision therapy (VT), or behavioral optometry, is an umbrella term for alternative medicine treatments using eye exercises, based around the pseudoscientific claim that vision problems are the true underlying cause of learning difficulties, particularly in children.^[1] Vision therapy has not been shown to be effective using scientific studies, except for helping with convergence insufficiency.^[2] Most claims—for example that the therapy can address neurological, educational, and spatial difficulties—lack supporting evidence.^[3] Neither the American Academy of Pediatrics nor the American Academy of Ophthalmology support the use of vision therapy.^[4]^[5]
