What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a specialized and personalized program crafted to enhance and develop visual skills affecting various aspects of your daily life.
It goes beyond the prescription of glasses or contact lenses, focusing on specific visual aspects such as eye movement, coordination, and focusing abilities. These visual skills are essential for learning and development.
Understanding the Vision Therapy Process
Our process begins with a comprehensive eye exam, a diagnostic step to identify specific visual challenges unique to you or your child.
Once identified, our expert optometrists will craft a personalized program incorporating therapeutic activities and exercises that contribute to the progressive enhancement of your visual skills.
