What is Vision Therapy?
Think of vision therapy as physical therapy, but for your eyes. It’s a customized set of exercises and treatments aimed at improving specific visual skills and abilities. Led by our experienced team, these therapies can help correct visual issues, enhance visual performance, or support recovery processes.
It’s not just about seeing better—it’s about living better.
Why Is Vision Therapy Necessary?
Although most vision issues can very easily be corrected using eyeglasses or contact lenses, some problems require more sophisticated treatment. Visual efficiency or processing problems that may interfere with a child’s ability to analyze and interpret visual information require vision therapy as these issues can also disrupt their potential to learn.
Without addressing these issues early on, it can lead to deficiencies and a slow learning process which can affect confidence.
Binocular Vision Therapy
Binocular Vision Therapy is all about improving the teamwork between your eyes. It's perfect for individuals who struggle with conditions where their eyes don't align properly, such as strabismus (crossed eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye), or for those experiencing eye strain from computer use.
By focusing on exercises that enhance coordination, focus, and the ability to perceive depth, this therapy seeks to improve how well your eyes work together, resulting in clearer, more comfortable vision.
Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy isn't just for children—it can be effective for adults, too! Adults can also benefit from vision therapy if they are experiencing eye strain, double vision, headaches and/or an inability to perform well at work.
It's suitable for anyone looking to overcome visual challenges such as lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), trouble focusing, weak eye teaming and learning related vision disorders.
Our personalized approach means we tailor each therapy program to fit your unique needs and goals.
Schedule your appointment today. Our team is here to guide you through each step of your therapy, offering encouragement and expertise. The first step will be a comprehensive eye exam and then we can delve deeper with a Binocular Vision Evaluation or Visual Efficiency Evaluation which we will outline treatment options. Each VEE is tailored to a patient’s needs, but may include further assessment of eye tracking, eye teaming, eye hand coordination, visual perception, and sensory motor evaluation.
