Abstract: A step-by-step case report describes the rehabilitation program for visual dysfunction of a 52-year-old woman, beginning 2 years post-trauma. Methods to ameliorate such symptoms as diplopia, ocular discomfort, dry eye, inefficient saccadic movement, spasms of accommodation, poor reading comprehension and very limited stamina for near visual tasks are presented. Specific procedures are discussed and results are described and tabulated.
