Its main goal is usually to sort out issues like focus and being able to see stuff at a distance/ up close , seeing things in 3D and get your eyes and brain to work together properly.
There’s a whole host of common vision problems that a vision therapy program can help with, such as:
Depth-perception problems – how well you judge distances
Sports vision problems
Lazy or crossed eyes – also known as strabismus
Vision-sensory impairments (sensory processing issues that affect your vision)
Vision problems brought on by a traumatic brain injury or stroke
Double vision and tracking problems with your eye-movements
Certain reading difficulties – we all know how frustrating that can be!
How is a vision therapy program structured?
Your eye care provider will work out a tailored plan for you that will involve regular visits to their clinic and some work to do at home.
