About Vision Therapy
The goal of vision therapy is to strengthen the connection between the brain and visual system through the concept of neuroplasticity. Treatment includes a variety of specialized tools and equipment such as therapeutic lenses, prisms, filters and digital interactive targets. Vision therapy is supported by ongoing evidence-based scientific research. Treatment plans are established and supervised by developmental optometrists.
Many people think that vision therapy is only for children. However, adults have as much need for this type of vision care as children. Unfortunately, many people have visual difficulty sustaining near-centered work, including reading, writing, and computer use. When people have trouble using both eyes together or can't focus for great lengths of time, they do not simply grow out of these problems. Children with visual problems often become adults with visual problems.
