These far-near focus charts are for the development of greater accommodative facility and to train sequential memory, visualization and fixations.

Two eyes...four controls...one brain. Vision is a two-way street for recording in the brain the ingredients of knowledge and intelligence - and back again as the control by the brain to make seeing possible. This fanciful drawing of a “cross-section” of the head illustrates these two processes. One the reverse is the “Story of Vision” This classic illustration artwork was done by artists from the Disney Studio. 8 1/2” x 11”. Pad of 50.

These winter-themed, whimsical images are a fun alternative to the standard convergence chart, and the full color images. The chart has the following suppression checks and 3D elements incorporated into the graphics: Reindeer...Suppression checks - Left ear and tail...3D effects - Nose and the bells on collar should pop out, the legs on the reindeer’s right side should drop back. Snowman...Suppression checks - Left hand holding the top hat and right hand holding the broom...3D effects - Carrot nose, scarf hanging down, and buttons on the snowman’s body should pop out. Penguin...Suppression checks - Left scarf, right wing/flipper and left foot...3D effects - Pom pom on hat should drop back, beak and cheeks on the penguin’s face and the scarf hanging in front of his body should pop out. Gift...Suppression checks - Left bow loop and ribbon on left and right sides of the box...3D effects - The corner of the box (in the center) should appear closer, the bow should be 3 dimensional with the left end of the bow’s ribbon appearing to come towards you. Pad of 50 charts in full color.

This chart is designed to treat strabismus and amblyopia. It can be used for testing and training retinal timing, spelling activities, anti-suppression, saccadic fixation and rotations. The chart is printed in red and green and is designed to used with red/green glasses (not included).

Used for eye movement control to search and fixate a target, maintain fixation and process visual information viewed peripherally. Pads of 50 forms with instructions on back.

Math - Double sided distance chart of numbers and letters with two corresponding nearpoint cards for far-near-far and scanning therapy procedures. Several procedures and combinations of procedures are possible, allowing the patient to perform tasks incorporating visual scanning and mathematical sequencing and problem-solving.

These far-near focus charts were designed with the reading-disabled therapy patient in mind. When an initial letter group from the near chart is read with an accompanying letter group from the distance chart, a word is formed. Multiple word combinations are possible. The charts aid in the treatment of accommodation, convergence and suppression. Set includes 1 laminated distance chart and 2 laminated near charts with instructions.
