Why do we notice a fly circling around faster than the airplane high in the sky?
Simply because our vision is much more complex then it seems.
Willem Boey, Optometrist and specialist in VISION TRAINING WILL HELP...to bring clarity.
Please do not confine Ophthalmology and Optometry, explains Willem Boey, a unique specialist in our country. The first discipline concerns the state of health of the eye. about me, I concentrate rather about the USE of our eyes and on the PRINCYPLES of VISION.
It's as if ophthalmology is concerned about our harddrive and I am specialized in the software.
My work consists of measuring the visual capacities of my clients. We call this also 'Behavior Optometry' because vision is closely related to behavior, and the other way around
Targeted Vision Training
The specialist explains that vision is a brain function. Analyzing vision, shows the mental capacity of an individual. Luckily our vision capacities can be enhanced with VISION TRAINING.
Willem Boey affirms , eg. the visual clarity (a faculty which is on an earlier decline related to age, due to the use of screens) can be improved thanks to entrainment of targeted eye muscles. Thanks to the re-training and fine tuning of focusing muscles certain persons of over eighty years old are capable of reading a small print or menus in a restaurant, without the use of eye glasses.

Hope for hyperactive kids?
Obviously not only the fine tasters are not the only ones to benefit vision training. the specialty of Willem Boey. His studies of vision gave the opportunity to deal with learning difficulties related to vision disfunctionalities. In this country much has to be improved on this know how. Children with problems of concentration are referred to logopedistes, since they are the only option so far to deal with these problems kids faces.
I saw many kids improve so much their brain capacities through vision training. A main issue is a limited visual field of awareness. I is like looking through a tunnel. In this condition it is very hard to
look at a screen in front of the class. Not because of an unclear sight, rather a limited field of vision. It explains not only a lack of concentration, the incapacity to pay attention also ! Such a child suffers to take in information.
Dealing with such issues it is important to expand the visual field of awareness. Willem Boey facilitates in a color stimulation with a therapeutic light assessment. It improves perception and expands the visual field of awareness. Such a therapy is also applied to people with mental depressions.
Racers and Sunday drivers
Since the high level pro-athletes and racers are adepts of the "eye gym", Willems' Vision training program, the visual basics concerns all of us. e.g. a larger visual field will result in better memory. This gains so much time in memorizing fast large quantities of text. Like sportspeople visual functionality decreases under stress and fatigue. A student under the stress during exams will still perform well with a trained vision.
Willem Boey works with different sportspeople, like car racers. Bert Longin, a GT racer, on famous racetracks is such an early adept. He did high stimulated and relaxing exercises and therapy to boost his visual capacities. Also enhanced his emotional control at peek performances.
And about us, the 'lambda' drivers as we are, does this work also?
-Yes for sure, sais Willem Boey !
In traffic, about security, the quantity of information which our vision processes is as important than the quality. It is not just all about clarity, also the amount of seeing.
Eyes open !
The Willems' Vision training program consists of 2 types of treatment.
Intensive week Vision Training: During 5 days excessive vision training under the personal whatch by Willem Boey himself.
Do it yourself Vision Training: One time explaining the exercises after an Vision screening.
