Effectiveness and importance of optometric visual training. Clinical case study: a 23-year-old man following a brain operation

Visual training, an optometric method designed to improve functional disorders of the visual system, also helps to improve the integrity and correlation between the various functional systems connected to vision. This clinical work describes the actual effectiveness with the optometric treatment of a 23-year-old man who, awakening after an operation to surgically remove an expansive lesion of the fourth ventricle, displayed diplopia, loss of balance and other correlated symptoms. This paper reports the sequential visual training programme that the patient followed for a year, focusing on the fundamental stages, on the procedures and exercises performed until his binocular vision was restored and the scheduled surgery was cancelled.
