WHAT IS VISION THERAPY
Optometric Vision Therapy (neuro vision therapy) is neuro visual training. It’s a process including activities and exercises that someone does to improve the visual system/ visual processing, eye coordination, and eye-brain-body connection through neuroplasticity. This can be similar to physiotherapy, but specific to the eye and brain, and often using different types of lenses for therapeutic purposes. The emphasis is on improving the neurology and/or rehabilitating the brain to control the eyes/brain and body to work together optimally for maximum function.
Vision Therapy is helpful if the eyes aren’t coordinated, if there are vision processing problems, if there were interruptions in development, or if there was a Brain injury that disrupted the vision/brain/eye/body connection.
Vision Therapy is changing the brain through vision development.

WEEKLY VISION THERAPY
Weekly Vision Therapy is the most common type of vision therapy program. These programs are typically 24 to 48 weeks long depending on the condition and what is prescribed by the doctor. Weekly programs are typically necessary for success with Vision and Learning concerns, Concussion and Brain Injury cases, Visual Skills, and Sports Vision Training. These are based on a curriculum of activities and exercises that are learned on a weekly basis, one on one with a vision therapist. During the week there are 20 minutes of daily vision therapy homework to practice.
Progress is assessed approximately every 3 months during therapy and overseen by the prescribing doctor.
