Is Vision Therapy for You?
Developmental
Concussion or Brain Injury
Visual Dysfunction
Over 70% of learning happens visually. Fortunately, we can assess and improve visual skills at any age with vision therapy.

Visual Dysfunction
Reduce eyestrain and fatigue associated with prolonged visual tasks.

Concussion or Brain Injury
Many post-concussion symptoms are visual and can linger for years after injury. After resting, it's time to rehab and re-develop the strength of the eye/brain connection.
Ocular alignment
Sports Vision Training
Sports Vision Training
Programs aimed at eliminating or reducing an eye turn (strabismus) or lazy eye (amblyopia).

Bring your game to the next level by improving visual efficiency, response times and accuracy.
Reading

Underlying visual deficiencies may be making it harder for a child to succeed at reading. Help your child reach their potential.
Signs and Symptoms of Visual Dysfunction
Vision goes beyond 20/20. In order to have clear and comfortable vision, we must simultaneously perform several difficult tasks. We must be able to move our eyes in a perfectly synchronized way towards our target, then adjust our focusing system on the target, all while moving our bodies or completing a task (ie. reading). If any component of this system is not performing optimally, these symptoms may be reported:
- Double Vision
- Intermittent blur
- Eye strain or fatigue with prolonged visual activities
- Crossed (strabismus) or lazy eye (amblyopia)
- Difficulty reading or performing below potential
- Headaches
- Movement of text on paper
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Reading below potential
When these troubles are encountered in school, we often refer to this as a learning-related visual dysfunction. Components of visual perception are also tested and trained.
Concussion/ABI
Injuries such as a head trauma, concussion, or stroke all have the potential to disrupt the normal function of our visual system. There are at least 32 separate visual processing areas in the brain, which make it extremely vulnerable to damage. Visual skills that were once seemingly natural become uncomfortable resulting in any of these symptoms:
- Vertigo
- Motion sickness
- Double vision
- Light sensitivity
- Loss of place when reading
- Inability to work at a computer screen
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches
- Loss of spatial awareness (bumping into things)
- Reduced focus or visual memory
Vision therapy works to rebuild damaged neural connections through carefully planned visual activities carried out under professional supervision.
