What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a specialized form of therapy designed to improve and enhance the visual system's functioning. It is a non-invasive and personalized treatment approach that aims to address a wide range of visual problems and conditions. By engaging in a series of targeted exercises and activities, individuals undergoing vision therapy can develop and strengthen their visual skills, such as eye movement, focusing abilities, hand-eye coordination, amongst a host of other areas.

It is a specialized treatment plan designed to improve and strengthen the visual skills we rely on every day. Just as physical therapy helps restore mobility and strength to our muscles, vision therapy aims to enhance our visual abilities and correct any visual deficiencies.
How Do I Know If I Am A Candidate For Vision Therapy?
Initial Assessment and Diagnosis
Before jumping into vision therapy, it's important to start with an initial assessment and diagnosis. This involves a comprehensive evaluation of your visual system, including tests to measure your visual acuity, eye coordination, focusing abilities, visual perception, and more. The goal is to identify any underlying vision problems and determine if vision therapy is the right course of action for you.
Development of Individualized Treatment Plans
Once your vision issues are identified, the doctor will create an individualized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. This plan will outline the specific goals of therapy and the techniques and exercises that will be used to address your vision problems. Each treatment plan is unique, just like your eyes!
Duration and Frequency of Vision Therapy Sessions
The duration and frequency of vision therapy sessions depend on the severity and complexity of your vision problems. In most cases, therapy sessions are conducted on a weekly basis, typically lasting around 45 minutes. The duration of the entire vision therapy program varies from person to person, but it usually ranges from a few weeks to several months.
