Research shows vision therapy helps correct visual deficits that contribute to reading learning disorders. Certainly, any child who is not performing up to their academic or reading potential should be considered for a vision therapy evaluation. Vision therapy does not train reading skills, however, it can eliminate deficits in visual skills that contribute to reading delays. Additionally, other common vision disorders can be successfully treated through our vision therapy services, such as:

• Depth perception
• Visual processing
• Hand-eye coordination
• Eye teaming skills
• Visual memory
• Eye-tracking
• Convergence
• Visual acuity
• Focusing skills

Vision therapy can be rehabilitative in the case of head trauma, concussion, stroke, or brain injury. In these cases, patients can be trained in the redevelopment of lost vision skills.

The standard for healthy vision has always been 20/20. However, in today’s technology-driven society, visual demands have changed with the increased amount of time people spend looking at screens. These demands require efficient and comfortable function of focusing, binocular (eye teaming), and fixation skills. Our vision therapy services help individuals of all ages improve these skills to enhance their visual performance. Certainly, any child who is not performing up to their academic or reading potential should be considered for a vision therapy evaluation.

Our optometry practice works closely with other doctors, occupational and physical therapists, psychologists, and educational professionals. Patients who come to us on referrals receive the high level of care that has earned our practice its reputation.

Additionally, our doctors feel a commitment to the local community. Because of their qualifications and vast knowledge, they often serve as guest lecturers at local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, developmental centers, and school districts to spread awareness and educate the public about vision care.
