What is Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy is a doctor supervised program designed to improve the function of the visual system.  Vision Therapy allows patients the opportunity for new visual experiences through the use of lenses, prisms, filters, and 3-D activities, among other things. Vision Therapy is individualized to the unique needs of the patient. Most Vision Therapy is conducted in-office, sessions lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour. A therapy program can last from 15 weeks to a year or more depending on the individual’s diagnosis, their age and their commitment and participation level in the program.

Vision Therapy works to allow better visual comfort, visual efficiency and grace of movement. It can alter the way a person interprets what they see including improving depth perception. It has been shown to help a lot of people such as kids who struggle with reading and learning, athletes who want to improve their performance, people who have visual symptoms following a brain injury and many more. Vision therapy is not simply eye exercises. It is a scientifically-based program which, when combined with careful history, visual examination and dedicated participation, can have dramatic results.
