Vision Therapy
Enhancing Visual Skills Through Personalized Pediatric Vision Therapy
What is Vision Therapy?
Vision Therapy is a personalized, non-surgical treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and perceptual-cognitive deficiencies in children. It helps improve how the eyes and brain work together—enhancing visual skills that are essential for reading, learning, and overall development.
Unlike glasses or contact lenses that correct refractive errors, vision therapy trains the eyes and brain to function more effectively. It’s especially beneficial for children with eye coordination issues, lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), and visual processing disorders.
Led by an experienced pediatric optometrist or ophthalmologist, vision therapy involves a series of eye exercises, games, and specialized tools tailored to your child’s specific visual needs.
Why is Vision Therapy Needed?
Vision therapy is essential for children who may have:
- Learning difficulties due to visual issues
- Reading problems (e.g., skipping lines, losing place)
- Poor hand-eye coordination
- Strabismus (eye misalignment) or amblyopia (lazy eye)
- Eye strain, headaches, or blurred vision
- Attention and focus challenges in school
Early treatment can make a significant impact on your child’s academic performance, behavior, and self-confidence.
What to Expect During a Vision Therapy Program
Vision therapy is a structured, clinic-based program typically conducted once or twice a week, often accompanied by home exercises. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Initial Assessment
A comprehensive eye examination and visual skills assessment are done to diagnose the condition and create a personalized therapy plan.
2. Customized Therapy Sessions
Using specialized tools like lenses, prisms, filters, balance boards, and computer-based programs, your child will perform guided eye exercises with a trained therapist.
3. Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments
Progress is regularly reviewed, and therapy is adjusted based on your child’s development and response to treatment.
4. Home Practice
Your child may be given simple vision activities to continue at home, reinforcing the therapy goals.
