What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is an individualized treatment program designed to improve or correct dysfunctions of the visual system. Sometimes described as “physical therapy for the eyes,” vision therapy addresses the entire visual system, which includes the eyes, brain, and body. The goal of vision therapy is to train an individual’s brain to use the eyes to receive information effectively, understand it quickly, and react appropriately. Vision therapy sessions include programs designed to enhance the brain’s ability to control eye alignment and eye movements, focusing abilities, and eye teamwork.
Your Vision is More Than Seeing 20/20
Most learning comes through our vision — 80%, in fact — but many underestimate how much vision plays a role in nearly everything we do, from how we navigate our bodies to higher-level visual processing such as reading comprehension. Vision therapy can manage or recover visual functions and dramatically benefit life skills, especially for patients who may experience some or all of the following:
Other symptoms
- Have difficulty finishing assignments or tasks on time
- Lose their place while reading
- Omit or misread words
- Have blurred, double, or unstable vision
How can vision therapy help you?
Vision therapy helps strengthen the connection between your eyes and brain. Whether you’re recovering from a brain injury, looking to sharpen your athletic performance, or addressing learning delays, vision therapy is designed to improve visual function.
Traumatic Brain Injury
If you or a loved one has had a brain injury, you may have perfectly healthy eyes that are just not properly communicating with your brain: we can develop a vision therapy plan to help you fix the miscommunication.
Sports Vision
Vision therapy can benefit athletes seeking to elevate their skill level. Higher visual efficiency skills improve visual motor integration, refine depth perception, and improve reaction time.
Oculo-Motor & Learning Delays
Vision therapy can help the visual system function more efficiently, ensuring that it will provide the patient comfort, clarity, visual processing, and proper depth of vision throughout the day.
