3-DAYS COURSE IN BINOCULAR VISION

TrainYourEyes invites to a 3 days courses about visual therapy in Denmark. After this, your shop/clinic is ready to start visual therapy with TrainYourEyes as the optical tool, which ensures a high professional level for both clinic and patient.

Of course, the overall project includes very professional and efficient support- so your hand is held during the start-up phase and later. The course is for beginners as well as for participants, who wish to refresh their knowledge and the latest research in the area.

Theory and workshop

The course is a mixture of theory and workshop with the overall purpose of teaching the participants, what the various components of vision are, how you do the tests and which exercises, you use.

All the participants in the courses therefore try all the tests and exercises on themselves and each other. This way the participants leave the course with a clear impression of, how the binocular vision is examined and trained.

After the course, the participants are therefore ready to begin testing and training the binocular vision.

PURPOSE

To give the participants understanding of and insight into, what binocular vision and visual therapy is, which components the binocular vision consists of, how it is examined and trained. The course is a combination of theoretical review and workshop, where the participants try all the tests and exercises themselves.
