Learning-related vision problems account for 20% of all learning disabilities.

Vision therapy can be helpful for all age groups, including children. Mayo Clinic researchers suggest that vision therapy is the best way to treat convergence insufficiency in children, and it may also be effective for addressing learning-related visual problems like ADHD and dyslexia. Vision therapy is also very effective at treating amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (eye turn). It focuses on teaching the eyes to work together as a team, creating better coordination and increasing visual efficiency.

Vision Therapy treatment programs are carefully designed to correct visual-motor or perceptual-cognitive difficulties. Treatment sessions include fun activities, exercises and procedures that improve the visual system’s alignment, movements and processing.

Personalized Vision Therapy

Every child’s vision is unique. A vision therapy treatment plan is tailored and individualized to address your child’s vision issues and help them strengthen any areas of weakness. Treatment begins with a series of therapeutic exercises using dedicated devices. As your child makes progress, exercises are progressively adjusted to encourage further visual improvements over time.

A range of vision problems can be improved with a vision therapy program and dedicated commitment. These include:

• Eye tracking – Following a moving target
• Eye teaming – How well both eyes work together
• Binocular vision – Fusing the separate images seen with each eye into one single image
• Accommodation – Focusing on an object at near
• Visual-motor integration – Hand-eye coordination
