ABSTRACT
Fixation is worked on indirectly with pursuit and saccadic exercises by
1. Slowing down the exercise with pursuits 2. Having patient stay on target once they make a
saccade
1. Spoon pursuits 2. Fist passes 3. Pegboard rotator-inserting peg into board 4. Neurovision rehabilitator (NVR) visual-motor
enhancer (VME) programs 5. Sanet vision integrator (SVI) rotator programs
Large angle/integrate peripheral awareness
1. Post-it saccades 2. Four-corner Hart chart saccades 3. NVR dynamic oculomotor processing
(DOMP) programs 4. NVR ocular vestibular integrator (OVI)
programs 5. SVI saccades: proactive/reactive programs 6. Wayne Saccadic Fixator 7. McDonald chart
Small angle/reading related
1. Michigan tracking (varying size font) 2. PS forms (lower level)
3. Hart chart 4. Percon saccades/saccadic workbook 5. CPT visual scan/visual search 6. Vogel track and read programs
Monocular versus binocular: Perform these activities monocularly, if the patient has any of the following:
1. Monocular amblyopia 2. Reduce acuity or reduce visual field of one eye 3. Presence of an eye turn 4. Decreased accommodation or convergence
Purpose To develop smooth pursuits and increase peripheral awareness
Equipment ● Glasses ● Eye patch ● Spoon
Duration 10 minutes
Set-up Let the patient stand or sit erect with good posture.
