Sumario:This article discusses the concept of vision. It is a two-way street--an avenue for recording in the brain the ingredients of knowledge and intelligence, and back again as the control by the brain to make the seeing possible. The function of vision requires that involuntary and voluntary nervous systems work together simultaneously. When the proper response to brain's messages to the eyes has made it possible for the eyes to form images on their rear surfaces. These enter the brain through the crossed optic nerves. The modern optometrist trained in functional vision care is concerned with seeing as applied to clarity of eyesight, clarity of thinking, and clarity of learning.
