Vision Therapy

You need over 15 visual skills to succeed in reading, learning, sports, and in life. Seeing 20/20' is just one of those visual skills; when deficiencies in the others cannot be treated adequately with just glasses, contact lenses and/or patching, and are best resolved through a program of vision therapy (sometimes called "vision training") rehabilitation.

Concussions

Vision Therapy plays an important role in helping patients recover from visual problems caused by brain injuries such as concussions and strokes. Many of our patients suffered concussions in car accidents, sports or work related mishaps and many of them have been referred to us by occupational therapists. Learn more.

Stereo-blindness

Amazon's #4 science book of 2009 was about Vision Therapy: Fixing My Gaze, by American neuroscientist, Susan Barry, who had three strabismus surgeries as a child but still could not see in 3D until she did vision therapy as an adult to correct her stereo-blindness. She is a great example of successful vision therapy treatment for adults. Learn more...

US Army uses Vision Therapy

The US Army uses vision therapy to treat concussion and other traumatic brain injuries sustained by soldiers in combat.

The Army has developmental optometrists on staff to provide the therapy. It's no surprise since vision therapy is the most effective way to treat the vision problems that are the result of traumatic brain injury. We use the same vision rehabilitation techniques to treat brain injuries sustained in civilian life.

Vision Therapy for concussion-related vision issues

There has been an explosion of research into the optometric treatment of the visual symptoms following concussions by using vision therapy and rehabilitation.

There have been so many studies demonstrating the effectiveness of these approaches and clinics like our's across North America are making a big difference in the lives of concussion patients. Here is a passage from a recent article by Dr.Neera Kapoor.

Eye-movement dysfunctions

In an 2008 study published in the journal, Optometry, that studied oculomotor dysfunctions in acquired brain injury, the researchers concluded that, after vision therapy rehabilitation "[n]early all patients in the current clinic sample exhibited either complete or marked reduction in their oculomotor-based symptoms

and improvement in related clinical signs, with maintenance of the symptom reduction and sign improvements at the 2- to 3-month follow-up. These findings show the efficacy of optometric vision therapy for a range of oculomotor abnormalities in the primarily adult, mild brain-injured population. Furthermore, it shows considerable residual neural plasticity despite the presence of documented brain injury."
