WHAT IS VISION THERAPY?

About Vision Therapy

 

The type, length and quality of any vision & learning therapy program can vary widely from office to office. At our clinic, we put all our efforts into designing high quality vision therapy programs for each of our patients.

 

This is what we do all day long. We make vision therapy challenging, we customize it to the patient’s skill level, and lastly, we try to have fun!

 

Some of the frequently asked questions about our service are below.

 

How often do we need to go to Vision Therapy?

 

Most of our patients come in for an hour long therapy session each week.

​

Do parents need to be present during Vision Therapy?

 

During the first session, we require a parent to be in the room while the therapy is performed. During subsequent visits, we work with the child patient one-on-one without the parent for about 55 minutes.

 

About 10-15 minutes before the hour visit is finished, we meet with the parent to show them the home activities assigned for the next week.

Are home vision therapy activities included in the program?

 

Yes! We require home vision activities to be performed for about 20 minutes, 5 times per week.

 

How long does Vision Therapy last?

 

The length of vision therapy treatment varies based on the visual condition, age, motivation and consistency. Typically we expect vision therapy to last between 6-18 months. 

 

Our patients with Strabismus, Amblyopia and severe post concussion symptoms generally take longer than other cases.
