What is Vision Therapy?
Vision Therapy is a supervised treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and/or perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Vision Therapy can help children and adults who lack the necessary visual skills for effective reading, writing, and learning such as eye movement and focusing skills, convergence, eye-hand activity, visual memory skills, etc.
Vision Therapy helps individuals develop normal coordination and teamwork of the two eyes (binocular vision). When the two eyes fail to work together as an effective team, performance in many areas can suffer (reading, sports, eye contact, etc.).
Vision Therapy can help individuals at any ages that have a variety of problems that stem from difficulty in efficiently using their visual system. At times children or adults have not yet learned or acquired the visual skills necessary. These are problems in visual development. At times, an individual may have had the skills, but lost them due to brain injury from trauma, stroke, lack of oxygen, etc.
Visual-Motor skills and endurance are developed during vision therapy sessions using lenses, prisms, and filters, specialized computers, and optical devices. At the final stages of therapy, the acquired visual skills are reinforced and made automatic through repetition and by integration with motor and cognitive skills.

Don't Eyeglasses solve all vision problems?
Many people think that glasses or contact lenses ought to solve all vision problems, but in actuality, they do not. Examples of eye problems that you are likely familiar with that are not solved by eyeglasses include: medication for the treatment of glaucoma, eye allergies, dry eye, etc., an eye patch for a lazy eye, surgery for cataract, or treatment for a corneal abrasion (scratch to the eye). The point is that eyeglasses don't solve all vision problems. There are quite a number of visual conditions that eyeglasses don't address, and are best solved through a program of Vision Therapy.Vision Therapy can be the answer to many visual problems!
