What is Vision Therapy?

For some people, developing visual skills can be particularly difficult, meaning slow progress in learning to read, hand-eye coordination and learning. Every one of us has to learn to coordinate their eyes. In the same way as a toddler learns to coordinate their arms and legs to walk.

For others there may be inefficiency in the eye muscles that causes problems with visual skills, such as a turned eye or lazy eye.

Vision training uses physical training activities to develop the vision skills that need improvement. Specific activities help with specific skills.

Our qualified behavioural optometrists will design a program, in consultation with our accredited vision therapist to work with the patient’s specific needs. The program may also use prisms, filters, eye patching and other specialized tools necessary to achieve the improvement in visual skill.
