Vision Therapy
Vision therapy is a non-surgical means of treating different types of focusing, tracking and eye teaming disorders. It involves in-clinic therapy and at-home training procedures to make the eyes and brain work together more efficiently. The treatments are individualized to each patient’s diagnosis and involve a course of therapy activities and progress evaluations lasting about three to nine months, depending on the diagnosis. Using prescription lenses, prisms, patches, filters and other patient-specific equipment, the optometrist is able to set up conditions by which a patient can gain meaningful insights regarding the use of their vision and learn to properly develop or improve their visual skills.
