Forget the usual booth experience. At OVDRA 2026, we're doing something different—a vision therapy class made of short, focused mini lectures. Stop by for five minutes. Leave with something you can use on Monday.

Without both eyes engaged, accommodative rock is just monocular practice in disguise. Level Two reveals how red/green filters expose hidden suppression patterns that undermine visual teamwork—and why this step separates compensation from true coordination.
