What Does Vision Therapy Do?

We perform visual therapy to aid patients, commonly children, whose visual skills may be lacking due to a disconnect between the brain and the eyes. The link between the eyes and brain is crucial for processing information and making sense of the world around you.

Our optometrists create a tailored plan to help nurture the connection between your brain and your eyes. We do this with in-office assessments and send you home with an eye exercise program as homework.

The goal is to have your brain and your eyes (your visual system) working functionally as a team.

Symptoms to Be Aware Of

Does your child need vision therapy? Keep note of these symptoms that may indicate it’s time to see an eye doctor for help.

Skipping lines or words when reading
Mixing similar words, like “was” and “saw”
Confusing the letters b, d, p, and q
Rubbing eyes or closing one eye when reading
Holding books too closely or tilting their head when reading
Eye strain or headaches with schoolwork or computer use

Difficulty with reading comprehension
Blurred or double vision when reading
Avoiding homework
Poor attention span
Fidgeting and squirming in the chair

Showing any of the above symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean your child has a vision problem. But, the best way to be sure is to bring them to us for a comprehensive children’s eye exam.

Our experienced optometrists guide you through the process and answer your questions to ensure your child’s comfort and instill your confidence.

How Vision Therapy Can Help (And How It Can’t)

We do our best to achieve excellent results, but results from vision therapy can’t be guaranteed. Even still, some studies show that vision therapy might be an effective method to correct certain conditions.

Vision therapy can help with the following conditions:

Convergence insufficiency, a condition where your eyes may drift when looking at something near to you
Binocular vision problems, an issue that affects how the eyes work together, which can develop among children with certain learning disabilities
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye
Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes
Vision problems related to brain injuries
