Vision therapy (or vision training) is a specialized form of optometric care to improve visual abilities and correct problems that cannot be addressed with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery alone. It is often referred to as physical therapy for the eyes and involves a series of customized exercises and procedures that help enhance the brain's ability to control eye alignment, eye tracking, eye focusing, eye teaming, and visual processing skills.

Treating a Spectrum of Visual Issues


Vision therapy is used to treat various visual issues, including:

  • Strabismus: Misalignment of the eyes, commonly known as crossed eyes.
  • Amblyopia: Reduced vision in one eye, often referred to as lazy eye.
  • Binocular Vision Problems: Challenges with coordinating both eyes to work together.
  • Convergence Insufficiency: Difficulty in maintaining eye alignment for tasks close-up, affecting reading and other near-vision activities.
  • Visual Perceptual Disorders: Difficulties with processing and interpreting visual information.

What to Expect During Therapy Sessions


Vision therapy sessions are conducted under the guidance of our trained vision therapy specialists and may include:

  • Targeted Eye Exercises: To strengthen eye muscles and improve focusing, eye movement, and eye coordination.
  • Therapeutic Lenses and Prisms: Specially designed lenses and prisms can help retrain the eyes to focus properly and work together as a team.
  • Computer and Digital Device-based Activities: Using applications to improve visual skills, like eye tracking and visual processing speed.
