KIDS VISION & LEARNING
The majority of children who are learning disabled have a deficiency in binocular vision skills that is impeding their ability and affecting their lives. Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) causes deficiencies in visual efficiency that can significantly impede early reading. If a child is having trouble reading or avoids reading regardless of whether or not they are performing at grade level, there is a possibility they are struggling with a binocular vision dysfunction, and neuro-visual processing.
Our funcional vision assessment for learning-related vision problems is designed to assess the functional aspects of the visual process as it relates to academics such as learning, reading, math, writing, and classroom performance.

MYOPIA CONTROL
Myopia control refers to treatments that slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teenagers. This reduces the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, like retinal detachment. Myopia control treatments actively signal the eye to slow its elongation by changing how the light focuses on the retina.
Specialized glasses or soft contact lenses can be used as treatment options to be worn during the day. Alternatively, Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) hard contact lenses can be worn as a retainer at night to flatten the cornea and create a treatment zone to slow the progression of myopia. This provides clear vision during the day without glasses or contact lenses. Studies suggest this can slow myopia progression by approximately 50% compared to standard traditional single vision lenses.
Vision therapy can also be used as an option for individuals whose blurred distance vision is caused by a spasm of the focusing muscles (stress-related myopia), or who have eye strain from reduced visual focusing skills that is contributing to myopia progression.
STRABISMUS & AMBLYOPIA
When an eye turns in or out, up or down, it is called strabismus. Amblyopia refers to reduced vision through an otherwise healthy eye. These have a profound effect on depth perception and three-dimensional vision. When someone has amblyopia, there is a much greater risk of losing vision in the dominant eye, so it is important to address.
We understand that the brain controls the eye muscles that position and align the eyes. We check to see if the muscles have any physical restrictions or limitations. When the eye muscles are intact we understand that the reason for the eye turn is in the brain, and that the brain is telling the eye to be in a turned position. The brain is actively using one eye to shut off the other one. This is called suppression. The brain is attempting to reduce visual confusion from the inability to integrate the right and left eye information together.
