  • Title: Use of visual training for reading disabilities: a review.
    Author: Metzger RL, Werner DB.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1984 Jun; 73(6):824-9. PubMed ID: 6374600.
    Abstract:
    Visual training continues to be used as a remediation technique for reading disabilities despite consistent evidence that it does not provide effective treatment. A review of the ophthalmologic, optometric, and psychological literature relating to the assumption that a relationship exists between reading failure and perceptual ability has found no evidence to support this assumption.
