Use Cases

Clinics, educators, and professionals use NeuroVisual Trainer in a variety of ways to streamline their workflows and enhance patient care. Here are some of the most common use cases:

•Assigning Vision Therapy Exercises for Home Practice:

NVT allows clinics to assign tailored therapy exercises to patients for home practice, helping to improve compliance and monitor progress. Patients can access their assignments from any internet-connected device, making it easy to stay on track between office visits.

•In-Clinic Therapy Sessions:

Use the extensive exercise library during in-clinic sessions to work on developing and refining various visual skills with patients. Interactive and free-space exercises provide a dynamic and engaging way to help patients progress.

•Training New Therapists and Staff:

The exercise library and videos serve as a valuable training tool for onboarding new vision therapy staff. Many clinics use NVT to familiarize new hires with exercises, procedures, and workflows in a hands-on and interactive way.

•Classroom Use in Optometry and Vision Therapy Courses:

NVT is offered at no cost for educational use in optometry and vision therapy programs. Colleges and universities use NVT to teach students about vision therapy by pairing them to act as both provider and patient. This hands-on approach allows students to assign, perform, and evaluate therapy exercises as part of their training.

•Customizable Treatment Plans:

Clinics create individualized treatment plans using NVT’s drag-and-drop Grids feature, allowing them to organize and sequence exercises for patients. Grids can also be reused and modified as needed, saving time and ensuring consistency across patient care.

•Anti-Suppression and Binocular Vision Therapy:

NVT’s compatibility with anaglyph glasses makes it an effective tool for addressing suppression and enhancing binocular vision. Exercises like Jumble Scan, Pong, and even the included reading exercises can all be customized and adapted for anti-suppression therapy, providing targeted and versatile treatment options.

•Clinic Efficiency and Paperless Workflows:

Replace bulky folders and binders of worksheets with NVT’s streamlined digital platform. The ability to assign, track, and review patient exercises online saves time and eliminates the need for paper-based processes.

•International and Multilingual Support:

NVT’s ongoing translation projects make it a valuable tool for clinics and educational institutions in non-English-speaking regions. The platform’s adaptability ensures it meets the needs of diverse users worldwide.

•Collaborative Vision Therapy Projects:

NVT fosters collaboration among vision therapy professionals. Clinics share best practices, contribute custom exercises and Grids to the Community Content tab, and leverage the program’s tools to stay at the forefront of VT innovations.
