    Hello! Thank you so much for learning about the vision therapy exercise: Brock String. For your convenience, we have split the video into sections for your viewing experience. Feel free to use the video as a reference when doing the brock string exercise. Hit the sections, "Summary of Level 1, 2, 3" to quickly learn about the instructions for each different level of the brock string.
  • It is difficult for therapists to teach it like this. You have removed the holes I felt I was struggling with. Thank you.
  • @vafamf
    This was the best explanation of how to use a Brock string that I’ve come across. Very well done
  • @chidozieeboh4330
    This is super lovely. The Clinician is super skilled, and although Brocks is not so easy, she made it fun for the patient.
  • @innovatecoin9990
    Being born with cross eyed problems, I had surgery early on about 9 years old, I then suffered with lazy eye after did not attend dang therapy after the surgery. I’m shocked that these exercises were never shown to me by any of my eye doctors Finding all of this through self research I’m happy to have stumbled upon your video, please make a consumer version for these products! We surely could use them :-)
  • You're amazing. I had complications post lasik five years ago and finally am taking steps to be more responsble with my eye care. Thanks for the files! I work fixing pianos + nursing so I have a lot of eye strain.
  • @tango9944
    Thank you for showing the details how to do this exercise.
  • @standbymatt
    Thanks god i found this video. Have been known to this exercise for years, but never a clearer explanation than this to execute. Appreciate the sharing!
  • I'm 27 years old, born with strabismus and I treat it ever since I was a baby. I have done the surgery and it all came back. I have NEVER heard this explanation, even with all the years of eye therapy. I just thought I was too messed up for seeing two strings coming from the point, as I would try my best on focus on it. You have no idea how I appreciate this video.
  • @margovsko
    I was born with a lazy eye and I’ve noticed it appearing whenever I focus on something close or when I’m tired. I hope this exercise will help me control my left eye better. Thank you so much for explaining!
  • @elizafeller3433
    Thank you so much! When I was diagnosed with eye convergence insufficiency we couldn't move forward with therapy because it was too expensive. I'll definitely be ordering one of those strings. Or maybe make my own. I'm creative enough I think lol
  • @baldeagle8597
    Tx for that.. I was totally not ready to pay for this
  • @VeryMuchBlessed
    Excellent video. Very helpful and it's encouraging to know that it's possible to improve one's vision problems with therapy.
  • Just Started this vision Therapy this week [12-9-22} Hoping for balance improvement. Wish me success.
