Perceived Importance of and Equipment Used for Home Vision Therapy Activities

Abstract

Home vision therapy activities can be prescribed as part of an in-office optometric vision therapy treatment program. Home training between in-office sessions can be prescribed anywhere from intensive activities to sporadic assignments during a week. Anteo and Emergent ran independent surveys, prior to their partnership and previous to the COVID-19 lockdown, to gather information from vision therapy providers in 2019 and 2015 respectively. Emergent is a vision therapy equipment company whose services also include online vision therapy training and practice management consulting. Anteo is a vision therapy platform for in-office and remote vision therapy. The Anteo survey aimed to (1) identify the perceived importance of vision therapy home activities during a weekly in-office vision therapy regimen (2) assess home activity compliance. The Emergent survey aimed to (1) determine what equipment providers were using when assigning home vision therapy (2) the cost and price charged for that equipment.
