Vision therapy is a specialized field of optometry that only a small percentage of optometrists offer. It is a series of eye exercises designed to improve the quality and efficiency of vision, also known as visual training. Through vision therapy, your eyes can work more efficiently, allowing you to perform daily tasks such as reading and writing with greater ease. Your optometrist will design a personalized vision therapy program to meet your individual needs.
This program may involve activities that you do in the optometrist's office, or exercises that you do at home with the help of an eye therapist. Vision therapy is an effective way to improve your vision and can be beneficial for people of all ages. It can help those who have difficulty with near or far sightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, double vision, and other visual impairments. It can also be beneficial for those who have difficulty focusing on objects or tracking moving objects.
If you are having difficulty with your vision, it is worth talking to your optometrist about whether vision therapy could be right for you. Your optometrist will be able to assess your individual needs and determine if vision therapy is the best option for you. They will also be able to provide you with information about the different types of vision therapy available and how they can help improve your vision. Vision therapy is a safe and effective way to improve your vision and can be beneficial for people of all ages. It is important to remember that it is not a one-size-fits-all solution and that it may take some time before you start to see results.
However, with the right guidance from an experienced optometrist, you can achieve improved vision and better overall eye health.
