👁️ READY TO GET HANDS-ON WITH VISION THERAPY?

This October, step into VT1: Visual Dysfunctions, one of the foundational courses in the OEPF Clinical Curriculum.

For nearly 100 years, OEPF has been advancing the understanding of vision and the visual process. VT1 brings that tradition to life through hands-on learning, small-group interaction, clinical reasoning, and the principles behind effective vision therapy.

✨ What makes VT1 different?

It’s not simply about learning a list of procedures.

It’s about understanding WHY we use them, how to modify the demand for each patient, and how to help patients experience the visual process successfully.

Participants become the “patients” during demonstrations while instructors teach and demonstrate techniques including Brock String, vectograms, saccades, balance activities, eye control, motor equivalence, tachistoscope activities, and much more.

And you’ll leave with a complete manual, homework sheets, procedure grids, and materials to help you put what you learn into practice.

🎓 VT1: Visual Dysfunctions
📅 October 17–18 & October 24–25, 2026
💻 Online
⏱️ 28 CE hours
👥 For Optometrists & Vision Therapists
🙌 No prerequisite
👩‍⚕️ Instructor: Dr. Virginia Donati, OD, COEP, FCOVD

And there’s more: free follow-up case consultation is included.

VT1 is also the prerequisite for OEPF’s Learning Related Visual Problems (VT2) and Strabismus & Amblyopia (VT3) courses.

If you’re ready to move beyond simply knowing what to do and start understanding how, when and why, VT1 is where the journey begins.
