Vision Therapy

Do you have an intelligent child that struggles in school? There are many misdiagnosed ADD and ADHD children that simply have vision and processing difficulties that could be remediated with vision therapy.

Vision therapy consists of the use of lenses and prisms along with eye exercises that enable the eyes to work together and become more efficient. Vision therapy helps correct numerous eye conditions such as Strabismus, otherwise known as eye turns. It helps improve reading abilities and comprehension. It also reduces eye strain and headaches.

Exercises are taught based on the patient’s current level of ability determined from the initial evaluation and monitored during weekly sessions. These exercises are intended to be challenging but not overwhelming. As the patient progresses, the degree of difficulty of the exercises is increased.

The traditional program is set up in eight week blocks with re-evaluation at the end of that period. When the patient reaches their goal level they are given maintenance exercises that they can do at home, periodically on their own to maintain their level.
