What Does Vision Therapy Involve?
Vision therapy is a personalized, non-surgical program to enhance visual skills and performance. It focuses on training the eyes and brain to work together more effectively, addressing problems like poor eye coordination, focusing problems, and other visual processing challenges.
Through “physical” exercises and activities, vision therapy aims to strengthen the visual system, leading to better reading, learning, sports performance, and quality of life.
What Can Vision Therapy Treat?
Vision therapy can effectively treat a range of visual problems and conditions, including:
- Amblyopia (lazy eye)
- Strabismus (crossed eyes)
- Convergence and accommodation problems
- Binocular vision issues
- Eye movement disorders
- Visual processing disorders
- Focusing difficulties
- Sports performance enhancement
- Computer vision syndrome
- Reading and learning challenges
How Long Does Vision Therapy Take?
The duration of vision therapy varies depending on several factors, including:
- Visual issues
- Individual's age
- Severity of the condition
- Patient’s commitment to the therapy
Vision therapy programs can generally last from a few weeks to several months. Some may require sessions once or twice a week, while others involve less frequent sessions. Children often progress faster due to their developing visual systems, while adults may take longer.
