VISION THERAPY CHANGES PEOPLES LIVES
Do you or your child skip lines when reading? Does your child have a short attention span? Do you or child get headaches or eye strain with screen time? These are a few of the many possible symptoms that can be due to your or your child’s vision!
Vision is a combination of visual skills, some of which include, but is not limited to tracking, fixation, focus change, depth perception, peripheral vision, binocularity and visualization. When one or more of these skills are lacking, it can cause difficulty with many areas of your life, such as reading, driving and many eye hand coordination tasks.
Deficits in visual skills can be improved with Vision Therapy! Vision therapy is an office based, and personalized treatment program that involves activities and exercises to help develop your visual skills and in turn, improve many related areas of your life.
The first step in any Vision Therapy program is a comprehensive vision examination. Following a thorough evaluation, we will advise you as to whether Vision Therapy would be an appropriate treatment for you.
Contact us now and we would be happy to help you book you or your child in for a comprehensive eye examination and/or vision therapy examination!
