Our therapeutic methods are grounded in a growing body of high-quality research that currently supports treatment for the following conditions:

• Convergence dysfunction – eye teaming difficulty

• Accommodative dysfunction – eye focusing difficulty

• Amblyopia – lazy eye (home-based therapy)

• Intermittent exotropia – wandering eye

As the research evolves, we will continue to investigate the effectiveness of vision therapy for other visual inefficiencies as well as visual-perceptual disorders.

During your child’s comprehensive eye exam, your doctor will discuss whether your child needs additional testing based on their symptoms.

Your child will then be scheduled for an extended evaluation to identify any visual deficits. This will take about an hour, and your child’s eyes will not be dilated.

The doctor will review the results to determine whether your child is eligible for our vision therapy program.

To summarize, enrollment would include:

• Comprehensive eye exam – initial visit

• Visual efficiency evaluation – separate visit

• Consultation with doctor – immediately following evaluation

If selected for enrollment, your child will receive in-office vision therapy once a week for up to three months. Regular attendance is expected, as it will significantly increase the program’s effectiveness. Between office visits, your child will be given daily homework activities which will take up to 30 minutes to complete. The doctor will prescribe and modify the therapeutic protocol based on the deficits specific to your child.

You can schedule your initial comprehensive eye exam online, and if you have any questions about vision therapy or the process for enrollment, contact our office at any time!
