Vision therapy or Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation is a series of therapeutic activities tailored for each individual’s needs. These activities are performed to help provide feedback that can retrain your brain how to use your eyes more efficiently together as a team. The activities are performed in-office one to two times per week under doctor supervision, and are supplemented with activities at home during the week. Vision Therapy or Neuro-Optometric Rehab can be used to treat: Crossed or lazy eyes (amblyopia) Double vision Difficulty focusing Frequent loss of place while reading Confusing similar looking words Poor reading comprehension Sloppy handwriting Failure to recognize the same word in the next sentence Complaints of eyes hurting or headaches after reading Avoidance of close work (such as reading) Attention problems Poor eye hand coordination (particularly useful in sports) Lack of eye contact, like in autism Motion sickness Difficulty copying from one place to another Omission of small words while reading Very bright students that struggle with reading and grades Acquired or Traumatic Brain Injury visual and coordination problems Vision Therapy done successfully will: Develop normal coordination and teamwork of the two eyes (binocular vision) Improve visual comfort, ease, and efficiency Change how a patient processes or interprets visual information Here is a great example of a Vision Therapy success story “Stereo Sue” is an example of an adult that obtained binocular vision through vision therapy.

Most eye doctors do not evaluate for many other important aspects of normal vision, such as: Eye focusing Eye coordination Eye teaming (Binocular Vision) Eye movement Visual perceptual skills Color vision Take this vision quiz to see just how much you know about your vision and eye care.
