Vision Therapy

What is Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy

Vision Therapy is an individualized program of therapy prescribed by an Optometrist to improve the quality and/or efficiency of vision. This is different than the prescribing of glasses or contact lenses to improve one’s sight. Someone who has deficiencies in eye tracking, eye movement, focusing ability or eye coordination may experience reading as illustrated right. Typically vision therapy consists of weekly in-office visits with a Vision Therapist to work on activities and exercises prescribed by an Optometrist as well as home exercises that are expected to be done 5 times a week. The length of the Vision Therapy program is different for each individual; like any therapy program there are varying results across individuals. If you or your child is struggling with reading, losing his/her place while reading or just Not achieving to their highest potential discuss this with your Optometrist. Dr. Jones is currently accepting new patients in the Vision Therapy Program.
