Vision Therapy Success Stories
Many people are surprised to hear that there are
several different types of vision therapy.
The most common type deals with basic visual skill deficits. This type of vision therapy is very effective in removing symptoms such as visually related headaches and eyestrain from reading or intensive computer work. It is known as visual efficiency vision therapy.
Orthoptics is a classical type of vision therapy. It is used primarily for strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye). Orthoptics is a way to avoid surgery or to make surgery more successful. Orthoptics is also used when a traumatic brain injury like a stroke results in double vision.
Your child's ability to process information is critical for school success. Deficits in this ability will hinder academic success. Processing problems can be remediated with another form of vision therapy for learning. This type of therapy will make learning easier and more efficient.
Athletes have unique vision problems. Generally their basic vision skills are excellent. However the visual demands of sport are not normal. Precise depth perception, speed of reaction and peripheral awareness are critical for success. Sports vision therapy can often be the answer between success and the bench.
Finally we come to vision improvement. This is the type of vision therapy most people think of. They are aware of some sort of exercises that might help them to see better. They figure it probably will be a lot of work and continue to wear their glasses or contacts. That is a wrong perception. Vision therapy for vision improvement has come a long way. It uses computerized biofeedback and can be fun and relaxing.
