Hart Chart Saccadic Jump Home Vision Therapy Eye Exercises to Train Your Eyes' Focusing (Engaging Accommodation, Relaxing Accommodation, Accommodative Facility) and Oculomotor Functions (Saccades, Fixations) (B)

What is the purpose of this exercise, what binocular vision dysfunctions can be treated with this exercise, and what important visual skills will this exercise improve for you? 
Repeated accurate performance of this exercise can
• Oculomotor Functions (Saccades) improve your eyes' saccadic ability. Saccade is the tracking eye movement where the eyes accurately jump from one target to another.
• Oculomotor Functions (Fixations) improve your eyes' fixation ability. Fixation is the ability of the eyes to hold the eyes steady without moving off the target.
• Accommodative Amplitude (Engaging Accommodation) strengthen the focusing ability of your eyes so you can read up close botter or work on the computer for a longer period of time. Accommodative Insufficiency is a type of an Accommodative Dysfunction resulting in symptoms of blurred near vision, headaches, and eye strain.
• Accommodative Spasm (Relaxing Accommodation) improve the ability of your eyes to relax their focusing power while looking far away. Accommodative Spasm results in symptoms of blurred vision at distance after prolonged near work, headaches, eye fatigue, and possible double vision.
• Accommodative Facility improve the focusing flexibility of your eyes, helping you shift your focus quickly as you look at different distances.  Accommodative Infacility results in symptoms of blurred vision at distance and near after prolonged near work, headaches, eye fatigue, and possible double vision.

What category of vision therapy exercise is this and how can it be modified?
