What is Vision Therapy?


What is Vision Therapy?
Vision Therapy is an individualized treatment program to improve or eliminate conditions such as crossed-eye, lazy eye, focusing problems, eye-tracking difficulties, eye-aiming, eye coordination anomalies and visual perceptual anomalies. This treatment program can require home or in-office therapy or most frequently, a combination of both.

Specialized equipment such as lenses, prisms, filters and stereoscopes are frequently used. The goal of visual therapy is to help develop or reinforce specific vision skills needed for everyday functioning or eliminate certain abnormal muscular conditions.

Vision Therapy is an effective treatment modality for many different types of eye problems which generally cannot be treated with eyeglasses alone. Each program must be specifically prescribed depending upon the type and severity of the eye problem. Frequently, eyeglasses are prescribed either during or after the therapy. The goal of any vision therapy program is to see comfortably, efficiently and clearly without any eye strain or fatigue.

Although the therapy is very effective, improvement depends on your willingness to follow my instructions and perform all of the prescribed activities.

The length of time required for the completion of a vision therapy program varies. Factors contributing to the duration include the amount of work you perform at home, the severity of your eye problem and your motivation. Vision therapy can be performed on persons of all ages; there is no age barrier to its success.
