Vision therapy includes a variety of strengthening and training activities for your eyes and brain. While vision therapy is not designed to strengthen your eye muscles since they are generally very strong on their own, it is a type of integrated therapy that involves a variety of different visual activities. It can be done both in our office and at home, and can help resolve many types of visual problems with repeated use over time. Some examples of vision therapy include but are not limited to: Various types of eye patches; Prism lenses, including glasses and/or contact lenses; Stress reducing lenses; Vision therapies both in-office and at home; Vestibular devices (balance boards); Vision integration activities to help develop visual-auditory and visual-motor proficiency and Specialized computer programs.
Vision therapy has been proven to be successful by strengthening the patient’s ability to receive and process visual information. Many visual problems can be solved through the use of various vision therapy techniques, even if you have previously been told that your condition is untreatable, or that you will have to learn to live with your condition.
