What is vision therapy used to treat?

Vision therapy is a lot like physical therapy for the eyes and the brain.

It is typically used to improve focus and range of focus, depth perception, and the ability for the eyes and brain to work together.

A vision therapy program can be used to help with many common vision problems, including:

Depth-perception problems

Sports vision problems

Lazy or crossed eyes

Vision-sensory impairments

Vision problems caused by traumatic brain injuries or strokes

Double vision issues and eye tracking problems

Certain reading disabilities

How is a vision therapy program structured?

Your eye care provider will prepare an individualized plan that typically involves in-office visits and take-home assignments.

Treatment sessions are typically once or twice weekly, for about 30-60 minutes.

Vision therapy and learning problems

Any child experiencing reading or learning disabilities should have a comprehensive eye exam to test for vision problems. In cases where the learning problem is vision-related, then vision therapy may be a part of the treatment program.

Some of the signs that your child may have a vision problem affecting their ability to learn include:

Not wanting to read or examine their schoolwork closely

Complaints of headaches or their eyes hurting

Lack of attention span during tasks requiring visual attention

Signs of problems with remembering imagery or words

Squinting, tilting their head, or closing one eye during visual tasks
