Vision therapy can essentially be thought of as physiotherapy for the eyes and parts of the brain which control vision. Like physiotherapy, vision therapy employs a variety of exercises aimed at rehabbing the muscular functionality of the eye.
Vision therapy is becoming an increasingly popular vision correction option as it is non-surgical in nature. However, vision therapy is not meant to replace the consideration or need for eyewear, contacts or surgery when required.
In most cases, vision therapy patients are children. Young minds are the most adaptable, and because of this, children tend to respond best to vision therapy.
However, that is not to say that adults don’t also see benefit from vision therapy. Many adults have found significant improvement in their vision, hand-eye coordination, or eye alignment through vision therapy.
Who will benefit from vision therapy really comes down to the individual and their needs. We invite you to join us for a consultation to learn if vision therapy is an appropriate solution for you.
At Vivid Eye Care, we have a team of experts and professionals who are able to offer you customized and effective vision therapy. Beginning with a comprehensive eye exam, we will be able to determine how vision therapy can be integrated into your treatment to help improve your vision.
In many cases vision therapy on its own can be an excellent treatment choice. Alternatively, it is tailored to work in conjunction with surgery to increase the likelihood of success.
