Vision Therapy

When to Go

Consider vision therapy if you or your child experience symptoms such as eye strain, headaches, double vision, or difficulty focusing. Vision therapy can address various visual conditions, including amblyopia, strabismus, and convergence insufficiency.

Causes

Vision problems can stem from various factors, including eye muscle imbalance, refractive errors, or neurological issues. Vision therapy aims to improve visual skills and enhance overall visual function through structured exercises and activities.

Treatment Steps

  • Comprehensive Vision Evaluation: Your optometrist will conduct a thorough assessment of your visual abilities, eye teaming, tracking, focusing, and depth perception to identify areas of difficulty.
  • Individualized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation results, a personalized vision therapy program will be tailored to address specific visual deficiencies and improve visual processing skills.
  • Home-Based Activities: Your vision therapist may prescribe home-based exercises and activities to reinforce skills learned during in-office sessions and promote continued progress between appointments.
  • Progress Monitoring: Throughout the course of treatment, your progress will be closely monitored through periodic evaluations to assess improvements and adjust the therapy plan as needed.

Treatment Time

The duration of vision therapy varies depending on individual needs and treatment goals. Consistency and adherence to the prescribed therapy regimen are essential for optimal outcomes.

Insurance Coverage

While some insurance plans may cover vision therapy for specific diagnoses or age groups, coverage varies widely among providers. It’s advisable to check with your insurance company to determine coverage options and any associated costs.
