OVERVIEW

Vision therapy is a specialized form of treatment aimed at improving visual function and efficiency. As vision therapists, we work with patients to address various vision problems, including amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn), binocular vision dysfunction, and visual processing disorders. Therapy involves a combination of exercises, activities, and tools to strengthen eye muscles, improve coordination, and enhance visual processing skills.

Benefits of vision therapy for patients include:

1. Improved visual acuity: Therapy helps enhance clarity and sharpness of vision, especially in cases of amblyopia and refractive errors.
2. Binocular vision improvement: Patients learn to coordinate both eyes efficiently, reducing eye strain and double vision.
3. Depth perception enhancement: Therapy helps individuals perceive depth accurately, which is crucial for tasks such as driving and sports.
4. Visual tracking and focusing skills: Patients develop better control over eye movements and focus, improving reading fluency and comprehension.
5. Visual processing abilities: Therapy enhances the brain’s ability to interpret and process visual information, leading to better overall visual function and performance in daily activities.

By targeting specific visual deficits and training the visual system to work more effectively, vision therapy aims to enhance visual comfort, efficiency, and performance for patients of all ages.
