What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy, or VT, is a rehabilitation program prescribed to treat patients who experience visual deficiencies that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses alone. Vision Therapy consists of a series of exercises done in-office to teach the brain how to use both eyes efficiently through feedback and awareness. This involves a variety of specialized tools and equipment such as prisms, therapeutic lenses, filters and digital interactive targets.
Eye tracking, eye teaming and eye focusing problems can make it difficult for children and adults to succeed in school, work, and daily life. Our goal at inSIGHT Vision Performance Center is to improve quality of life by improving visual efficiency and visual processing skills.This type of Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is supported by ongoing, evidence-based scientific research, and our developmental optometrist works with a team of trained vision therapists to develop a program unique for each patient.
Who Can Benefit?
At inSIGHT, we treat patients of all ages, including school age children. Up to 80% of what a child learns in the classroom is through the visual system, and schoolwork often requires extended periods of near-centered tasks. Children can have difficulty sustaining this for long periods of time, which can cause many challenging and uncomfortable symptoms children may never outgrow.
inSIGHT also offers Vision Therapy specifically designed for athletes, called Sports Vision Training. Hand-eye coordination and visual processing abilities are a heavily weighted factor in the performance of any athlete, but especially athletes that are young and still developing. Through personalized sports vision training, we can help athletes improve their visual abilities, in turn helping improve performance.
