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.

When Should You Consider Vision Therapy?

  • Children Experiencing Reading Difficulties

    If reading difficulties affect your child’s academic performance, vision therapy can help by improving those visual skills crucial for reading and learning.

  • Headaches

    If you or a loved one experiences ongoing headaches due to vision problems, it might be a good time to explore the benefits of vision therapy.

  • Eye Focusing Problems

    Whether it's difficulty shifting focus between near and distant objects or sustaining focus, vision therapy can enhance the ability to focus correctly.

  • Post-Rehabilitation

    After medical or surgical treatment for a vision-related condition, vision therapy can help further enhance visual function and quality of life.

I’ve been going to Dr. Bernier for about 15 years now and wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s... an incredible doctor- knowledgeable, kind, and truly listens to and cares for his patients. He’s a great advocate and I’m always so impressed with his team. I’ve heard stories from friends of them buying glasses and getting them adjusted at other places (specifically chains) and they are always very disappointed with the quality of product and care they receive. You won’t run into that here! Thank you so much, CEC!

Dr. Burke is excellent. Sharon my optical technician spent over an hour helping adjust 2 pairs of gl... asses that I had spent a ton of money for at another provider. She helped make my current glasses work and helped me with a new pair from their office for my technical work. I had tears of joy after I left. I could actually see!! Very few places put the EFFORT in like the Chippewa Eye Centre.

New patient process was absolutely seamless. Everyone in this office is so nice and personable. They... were great at handling every step of the appointment with no friction, explaining everything as they went. I was able to get my exam, pick out frames, handle costs/insurance questions, and complete extra testing with no hiccups. I highly recommend this office and will continue to visit for any future eye care needs I have!

Dr. Bernier is the best. I have seen opthalmologists and optometrists in 5 states: NY, PA, IA, KS an... d MO. Because of a congenital eye condition, I have worn glasses since age 2. I was first examined by Dr. Bernier while he was volunteering at the Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired. In all my years of getting fitted with the proper prescription, I had never had a doctor who made that process seen calm and unhurried. Not only that, but the prescription was significantly better than any I had ever had. I was curious to see if Dr. Bernier would take the same calm unhurried approach while in his own practice. Well, I can assure you that he does. I have been a very satisfied customer for 20+ years and have not been shy about recommending his services to others. Dr. Bernier--and all of his staff-- give customer first care from the moment you enter the door.

I always have a great experience at Chippewa. Dr. Bernier very intelligent and goes above and beyond... for his patients. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable about what they are doing. I know I'm always getting a great experience and product here and thats what keeps me coming back!
