What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a type of physical therapy that can be used to treat a variety of vision conditions. It uses methods that can strengthen the neurological pathways between the brain and the eyes. This type of therapy can specifically improve focusing, visual processing, and eye-hand coordination. Vision therapy is a non-invasive treatment that doesn't involve surgery or taking medication. It is sometimes recommended to use vision therapy before trying more invasive or extensive procedures.

What Methods Will an Eye Doctor Use during Therapy?

There are different types of treatment both an optometrist and an eye doctor might use. First, an optometrist will create a personalized plan that is individualized for your specific needs. There are several methods that might be used during your therapy. An optometrist may use special lenses, filters, or prisms to help develop or improve visual skills. You might engage in eye tracking or vision focusing exercises. Most vision therapy appointments will be conducted in office and will normally last thirty minutes to an hour. There may be some exercises an individual can do at home.
