Visual tracking exercises help to develop smooth, continuous eye movements as patients track squiggly lines. The instructions are easy to follow.

Saccades refer to the eye’s ability to quickly and accurately shift from one target to another. This is a critical skill in reading, and most all athletic sports involving very specific eye movements. The eyes must move left to right along a straight line without deviating up or down to the lines above or below.  In addition, when we reach the end of a line, our eyes must make a difficult reverse sweep back to the beginning of the next line.  If anyone cannot control these eye movements, they will lose his place and comprehension becomes a problem.  The exercises included are meant to improve this important tracking skill.
