Improving sight does not always mean glasses or contact lenses. Sometimes, it can be corrected with visual therapy. This type of personalised therapy merges optometry with behavioural psychology or neuroscience and has nothing to do with improving visual acuity.
The role of the brain in sight, key to visual therapy.
Processing the visual information is not done by the eye but the brain. The latter has final responsibility for processing the information from our surroundings and for sharing this information with areas that control hearing, muscles, language or balance, among many others.
