VisionTherapy is

• A progressive program of vision procedures
• Performed under doctor supervision
• Individualized to fit the visual needs of each patient
• Generally conducted in-office, in once or twice weekly sessions of 30 minutes to an hour
• Occasionally supplemented with procedures done at home between office visits

Depending on the case, the procedures are prescribed to:

• Help patients develop or improve fundamental visual skills and abilities
• Improve visual comfort, ease, and efficiency
• Change how a patient processes or interprets visual information

Vision Therapy Is Not Just Eye Exercise
Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Vision Therapy is not to strengthen eye muscles. Your eye muscles are already incredibly strong. Vision Therapy should not be confused with any self-directed program of eye exercises which is or has been marketed to the public.

Vision Therapy is supervised by vision care professionals and many types of specialized and/or medical equipment can be used in Vision Therapy programs, such as:

• Therapeutic lenses
• Prisms
• Filters
• Occluders or patches
• Electronic targets with timing mechanisms
• Balance boards

The first step in any Vision Therapy program is a comprehensive vision exam. Following a thorough evaluation, a qualified vision care professional can advise you as to whether you are a good candidate for Vision Therapy and/or whether Vision Therapy is appropriate treatment for you.
