Enhancing Visual Skills for a Brighter Future

Vision is more than just seeing clearly; it involves a complex interplay of visual skills that impact how we perceive and interact with the world around us. For some individuals, certain visual skills might not develop as expected, leading to challenges in learning, sports, and daily activities. This is where vision therapy can come into play. We work with optometrists who specialize in Vision Therapy and when needed we refer to them.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy, also known as visual training or vision training, is a specialized form of therapy designed to improve and enhance visual skills that go beyond basic eyesight. It is a noninvasive and personalized program conducted under the supervision of a qualified optometrist or vision therapist. 

Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is not solely for individuals with poor eyesight. It’s especially beneficial for those who struggle with specific visual skills, such as eye coordination, focusing abilities, tracking, and depth perception. 

Children and adults alike can benefit from vision therapy if they experience difficulties in the classroom, exhibit delayed reading skills, have problems with hand-eye coordination, or face challenges in sports performance.

What Does Vision Therapy Involve?

A comprehensive vision assessment is the first step in determining whether vision therapy is suitable for an individual. This assessment evaluates various visual skills and identifies areas that may need improvement. If vision therapy is recommended, a personalized treatment plan is created based on the assessment results.

The therapy plan typically involves a series of in-office sessions where the individual engages in various activities and exercises aimed at improving specific visual skills. These exercises can include tasks like tracking moving objects, focusing on near and far objects, and improving eye-hand coordination. Additionally, individuals may be assigned home-based activities to reinforce progress between sessions.

The Benefits of Vision Therapy

Improved visual skills can lead to things like the following: 

  • Better reading comprehension
  • Enhanced learning abilities
  • Increased sports performance

Individuals often find themselves more comfortable and efficient in their daily activities, whether it’s reading, writing, playing sports, or navigating their environment.
