Vision therapy is a dynamic field that offers effective solutions for various vision-related challenges. Whether you're dealing with eye conditions from childhood or facing new visual issues as an adult, vision therapy might be the solution you’ve been seeking.
Conditions that Can Benefit from Vision Therapy
- Amblyopia (Lazy Eye):
Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn't develop proper visual abilities, leading to reduced vision. Vision therapy can encourage the weaker eye to work more efficiently and strengthen its visual function. - Strabismus (Crossed Eyes):
Strabismus affects eye alignment, and vision therapy can help train the eyes to work together correctly, helping restore binocular vision. - Convergence Insufficiency:
Vision therapy exercises can improve convergence abilities for individuals who struggle with maintaining eye alignment for close-up tasks like reading. - Eye-Tracking Issues:
Vision therapy can address difficulties in the smooth tracking of objects, making tasks like reading or following a moving target more manageable. - Visual Processing Disorders:
Vision therapy can aid in improving the brain's processing of visual information, enhancing overall visual perception. - Post-Concussion Vision Problems:
After a concussion, vision issues may arise, including double vision and tracking difficulties. Vision therapy can help regain visual function. - Visual Discomfort:
Frequent headaches, eye strain, or discomfort during visual tasks can be alleviated through vision therapy. - Post-Stroke Vision Difficulties:
Vision therapy can improve visual function after a stroke by addressing issues like blurred vision and depth perception.
