The Optometric Vision Development and Rehabilitation Association (OVDRA) is an international non-profit organization of eye care professionals who emphasize neuro-developmental vision in their practices. Their website offers a wealth of information to the eye and vision care community as well as the general public. The organization was formerly known as the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD).

The Optometric Extension Program Foundation is also an international organization dedicated to vision.

“Stereo Sue” is a neurobiologist who developed depth perception as an adult, after being told by many doctors throughout her life that it was not possible.

Jillian Benoit is also eager to tell the world how optometric vision therapy changed her life.

The National Eye Institute Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trials (CITT) study helped “validate” optometric vision therapy among the medical community, despite its flaws. Completed in 2008 with the implication that this more effective method was only recently discovered to alleviate symptoms of convergence insufficiency, developmental optometrists had known about the efficacy of in-office optometric vision therapy for decades. Another flaw of this study was its length. Since 12 weeks was the minimum treatment duration found to have positive results, many insurance companies adopted this timeframe as well, ignoring the many other variables involved that may influence the potential course of treatment.

The Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA) is an international inter-disciplinary group of professionals dedicated to providing patients who have physical or cognitive disabilities as a result of an acquired brain injury with a complete ocular health evaluation and optimum visual rehabilitation education and services to improve their quality of life.

Brain Injury Services (BIS) supports survivors of brain injury and their families on their recovery journeys and offer free services.
