Vision Therapy

Vision Therapy is a customized program of visual activities designed to correct specific vision problems and improve visual skills. It is often used to treat conditions like amblyopia, strabismus, and binocular vision disorders.

Causes

  • Strabismus: Misalignment of the eyes can often be corrected or improved with vision therapy.
  • Amblyopia: Lazy eye treatment may include vision therapy to strengthen the weaker eye.
  • Convergence Insufficiency: Difficulty in focusing both eyes on a close object can be treated with targeted exercises.
  • Eye Movement Disorders: Issues with tracking or focusing can be improved through therapy.
  • Post-Surgical Recovery: After procedures like squint surgery, vision therapy may be needed to ensure both eyes work together effectively.

Symptoms

  • Difficulty Reading: Skipping lines or losing place while reading.
  • Eye Strain: Discomfort or fatigue when using the eyes for prolonged periods.
  • Double Vision: Seeing two images of a single object.
  • Poor Depth Perception: Difficulty judging distances or 3D vision.
  • Headaches: Often associated with visual strain, particularly after prolonged reading or computer use.

Treatment Options
