Vision training (see also visual therapy or vision therapy) is the training of visual perception and recognition, and is used throughout the optical world as a method of training the eye. First conceived in the US, as a method of increasing the performance of fighter pilots by the US Airforce, it has now been transferred into the private sector.
Vision training has many different uses: Dyslexia correction, visual perception in sports, and learning help. Although the latter is primarily used in the US, the other two are becoming popular in the UK.

Famous quotes containing the words vision and/or training:
“For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities—a willing movement of a man’s soul with the larger sweep of the world’s forces—a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
