If your child is reading below grade level, has difficulties maintaining attention, or is not performing to their potential at school, he or she may have an undetected vision problem.

Many children struggle with undetected vision problems that hinder them from reaching their full potential.

Don't let visual impairments prevent your child from accomplishing their goals.

Vision Therapy is a customized treatment program that trains our eyes and brain to work together. It develops and enhances fundamental visual skills and abilities, such as eye tracking, eye teaming, convergence, focusing, and visual processing skills.

It is performed under optometrist supervision and is individualized to fit the specific needs of each unique patient.

Vision therapy consists of in-office appointments and at-home exercises.

• Non-Invasive

  Vision therapy doesn't involve medication, surgery, or invasive procedures. Instead, it corrects eye problems naturally.

• Great for children and adults

  Your brain is capable of forming new neural pathways throughout your entire life, so vision therapy can be effective at any age.

• Easy to do

  Instructions are easy to follow. You or your child will learn them during in-office sessions and practice the exercises at home.

• Customized treatment

  Following the consultation and eye exam, our eye care professionals will custom design a vision therapy program to suit your specific needs.

Below is a list of behaviors that may indicate a vision problem:

• Squints, tilts head or covers one eye to see better.
• Reports blurry or double vision
• Has difficulty in school even if they understand the subject matter
• Has trouble focusing or paying attention

It is not uncommon for academic or behavioral problems to be caused by vision difficulties. Vision therapy not only helps your child see better, but can also improve learning, behavior and self-confidence.
