You can have “perfect” 20/20 eyesight and still struggle, because seeing well also depends on how your eyes focus, aim and work together. When those skills are off, the result can be headaches, double vision, losing your place when reading, or a child who avoids homework. Vision therapy retrains those skills, and it's led here by a fellowship-trained optometrist.

What vision therapy can help

• Amblyopia (“lazy eye”) & strabismus, eye turns and a weaker eye, in kids and adults
• Convergence insufficiency, eyes that struggle to team up for reading, causing fatigue and lost place
• Binocular vision dysfunction, eye strain, headaches, double vision and dizziness from subtle misalignment
• Post-concussion & brain-injury recovery, neuro-optometric rehabilitation when vision changes after a head injury
• Learning-related visual struggles, when vision is getting in the way of reading and school

What the program looks like

It starts with a thorough binocular-vision evaluation, not a standard exam, to pinpoint exactly which visual skills need work. From there we build an individualized plan of in-office sessions and short at-home activities, and we progress it as you improve. Many patients notice real changes in reading comfort, focus and symptoms over the course of the program.

Symptoms like headaches or double vision can also stem from eye misalignment that's best addressed with lenses, see customized prism & binocular vision care. For kids, therapy often pairs with regular pediatric exams.
