Vision training, also known as vision therapy or orthoptics, consists of a variety of programs to enhance visual performance.

It sounds like you are talking about vision therapy. The only problem is that without a thorough evaluation, I can't really tell you what types of exercises would help you personally. Seek advice from an optometrist who specializes in vision therapy in your area.

A carefully and individually tailored program of vision therapy should result in a gradual improvement in whatever complex visual function is being addressed.

'Optometric Vision Therapy Manual'

Vision therapy will only help with the IQ if the reasons for the low result include the childs' inability to see the questions correctly. There are herbal treatments for helping with brain, which include the B vitamins, Folic Acid, Soy Lecithin.

Unfortunately the above poster has common misconception about what vision therapy is. Vision therapy is not limited to helping the patient see clearly. 80% of all information being processed by the brain is visual information. Vision is the process of visual input being transmitted from the eyes to the brain, the brains interpretation and processing of this information which ultimately leads to an output. I do not know the nature of this child's vision problems, but as a Vision Therapist I have worked with hundreds of children with visually related learning disabilities such as ADD, dyslexia, letter and number reversals, tracking issues (skipping and re-reading words). I would suggest the child has a visual efficiency information by an Optometrist who is a fellow in the College of Optometrist's in Vision Development. This doctor will evaluate the impact of the child's vision on academic performance and make suitable recommendations for treatment.
