The rotator is an instrument used to increased a child's visual efficiency and stamina. Used primarily to improve eye movements, the child is asked to place golf tees in a rotating pegboard. As the child's skill improves, the speed at which the pegboard is rotating is gradually increased. This procedure is usually done while the patient is wearing a patch over one eye. These are samples of some of the many techniques and procedures used by children in our therapy room to help remediate their poor visual skills.
Therapy sessions are always individualized to meet the child's specific visual needs.
Patients' improvements are regularly evaluated to monitor their progress, and their therapy program modified as they reach each treatment goal. In addition to in-office treatment where children learn control over their visual systems, our patients are also asked to do home therapy each day to reinforce their new skills and ensure the changes become permanent.
