Frederick W. Brock (1899–1972), born in Switzerland, was an optometrist, a major contributor to vision therapy, and the inventor of various vision therapy devices including the Brock string. Brock's approach to treating eye disorders was crucial in paving the way to overcoming an erroneous but long-standing medical consensus that stereopsis could not be acquired in adulthood but only during a critical period early in life: neuroscientist Susan R. Barry, the first person to have received widespread media attention for having acquired stereo vision in adulthood, attributes him a central role in her recovery of stereopsis, a discovery which in turn influenced the prevalent scientific conceptions with regard to the neuroplasticity of the visual system.

  • Frederick W. Brock (1899–1972). Nascut a Suïssa, Brock és un optometrista i precursor de la teràpia visual, inventor de diversos dispositius de teràpia visual i especialment el cordó de Brock. L'interès de Frederick W. Brock per corregir les deficiències visuals associades a les desviacions de l'ull el condueix a trencar el llarg i estès consens mèdic al voltant de la esteropsis, segons el qual, la visió binocular no es pot adquirir a l'edat adulta i només resulta possible en edats primerenques. La neurocientífica americana Susan R. Barry atribueix a Brock un rol central en el desenvolupament de la pràctica visual que permet als individus adults que presenten una patologia ocular associada a l'estrabisme la recuperació de la visió binocular. El descobriment de Brock representa un canvi de paradigma que posa de manifest la neuroplasticitat del sistema visual de l'adult. (ca)
