Biofeedback enhanced strabismus therapy.
Previous work, conducted under laboratory conditions, has shown that biofeedback using infrared eye position monitoring can be used to successfully treat strabismus. For the present study, seven matched pairs of strabismic patients were selected. One member of each pair received biofeedback enhanced vision therapy while the other member received traditional vision therapy. Cover test data obtained during each training session showed an advantage in using biofeedback enhanced training in several but not all cases. It is suggested that the optimum use of biofeedback may be prior to traditional training rather than integrated with it.
