Vision Therapy Overview

Vision Therapy is a specialized rehabilitation program that strengthens the connection between the eyes, brain, and body. It goes beyond standard eye exams to address complex visual challenges.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy uses targeted exercises to improve visual function. These exercises train the visual system much like physical therapy trains muscles, helping the eyes and brain work together more effectively.

Conditions Improved by Vision Therapy

The therapy is effective for a wide range of visual concerns.

• Lazy eye, also called amblyopia
• Crossed eyes, also called strabismus
• Double vision
• Reading and learning difficulties linked to visual processing
