title: Functional case analysis: an interpretation of the Skeffington model.
abstract: The four components of the model of vision developed by Skeffington are described. The influence of stress induced by reading on the interrelation between accommodation (identification) and convergence (centering) is discussed. The use of a convex lens to reduce the need for adaptive responses is presented.
