Vision is more than 20/20.
Eyesight measures how small you can read letters on an eye chart. Vision, however, involves using your sight to interpret and interact with the world. Even with 20/20 eyesight, your eyes may not work well together, causing discomfort and confusion.
Optometric Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation (VT) uses the science of neuroplasticity to establish new neural pathways to improve reduced visual skills or advance current visual performance. Vision therapy and neuro-rehabilitation is a prescribed program of visual-based activities specific to a particular person’s needs, directed by an optometrist and facilitated by an optometrist or vision therapist.
What is vision therapy?
Vision Therapy is a customized program designed to correct and improve visual skills and processing. Unlike primary eye care, which typically focuses on prescribing lenses to correct vision, Vision Therapy involves a series of exercises and activities that strengthen the visual system, train the eyes and brain to work together more effectively, and improve how the brain processes visual information.
Left untreated, vision problems can lead to ongoing discomfort and even worsen over time. You might find yourself avoiding activities you love, struggling at work, or feeling frustrated by persistent vision-related issues. It’s more than just an inconvenience – it’s a barrier to living your life to the fullest.
Vision Therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Binocular Vision Dysfunction
- Convergence Insufficiency
- Eye tracking disorders
- Strabismus and Amblyopia (“Lazy Eye”)
- Visual Perceptual Disorders
- Visual difficulties Post- Concussion
Binocular Vision Dysfunction
Seeing 20/20 is only part of what makes clear and comfortable vision. We must also move our eyes in a coordinated way to follow or fixate a target as well as keeping it single, while simultaneously adjusting our focus to keep things clear. In addition to all these, we must also integrate all of this with body posture and movements. If all of these moving parts are not working together efficiently, discomfort can result, particularly with tasks done up close, such as reading or computer work. Symptoms of those with binocular vision dysfunction include:
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches
- Shaking of words or words running together on the page
- Difficulty reading for long periods of time
- Skipping and repeating lines and losing place on the page
- Burning, itchy, watery eyes
