The role of the trainer in assisting the patient to internalize changes in his visual process is discussed. Emphasis is placed on two aspects: (1) making the patient aware of the nature of the change in process desired, and (2) making the patient aware that the phenomena which he observes during vision training techniques, such as blurring and clearing, diplopia, and suppression of training targets, which he may perceive as occurring esternally reflections of his visual process and as such, are subject to his control.
