Vision Therapy, Laser Vision Correction, Vision Correction Doctors in Central Florida surrounding Orlando

Vision Therapy is an individualized, supervised, treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and/or perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Vision Therapy sessions include procedures designed to enhance the brain's ability to control:

• eye alignment,
• eye tracking and eye teaming,
• eye focusing abilities,
• eye movements, and/or
• visual processing.

Visual-motor skills and endurance are developed through the use of specialized computer and optical devices, including therapeutic lenses, prisms, and filters. During the final stages of therapy, the patient's newly acquired visual skills are reinforced and made automatic through repetition and by integration with motor and cognitive skills.

Who Benefits from Vision Therapy?

Children and adults with visual challenges, such as:

• Learning-related Vision Problems

  Vision Therapy can help those individuals who lack the necessary visual skills for effective reading, writing, and learning (i.e., eye movement and focusing skills, convergence, eye-hand activity, visual memory skills, etc.).

• Poor Binocular (2-eyed) Coordination

  Vision Therapy helps individuals develop normal coordination and teamwork of the two eyes (binocular vision). When the two eyes fail to work together as an effective team, performance in many areas can suffer (reading, sports, depth perception, eye contact, etc.).

• Convergence Insufficiency (common near vision disorder)

  Recent scientific research -- funded by the National Eye Institute and conducted at Mayo Clinic -- has proven that in-office Vision Therapy is the best treatment for Convergence Insufficiency.

• Amblyopia (lazy eye), Diplopia (double vision), and Strabismus (cross-eyed, wandering eye, eye turns, etc.)

  Vision Therapy programs offer much higher cure rates for turned eyes and/or lazy eye when compared to eye surgery, glasses, and/or patching, without therapy. The earlier the patient receives Vision Therapy or Lase Vision Correction the better, however, our office successfully treats patients well past 21 years of age.

  Recent scientific research has disproven the long held belief that children with lazy eye, or amblyopia, can’t be helped after age 7.

• Vision Therapy - Stress-related Visual Problems

  Blurred Vision, Visual Stress from Reading and Computers, Eye Strain Headaches, and/or Vision-induced Stomachaches or Motion Sickness

  21st century life demands more from our vision than ever before. Many children and adults constantly use their near vision at school, work and home. Environmental stresses on the visual system (including excessive computer use or close work) can induce blurred vision, eyestrain, headaches, etc.

• Vision Therapy - Visual Rehabilitation for Special Needs

  Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Stroke, Birth Injury, Brain Damage, Head Injury, Whiplash, Cerebral Palsy, MS, etc.

  Vision can be compromised as a result of neurological disorders or trauma to the nervous system. Vision Therapy or Laser Correction can effectively treat the visual consequences of brain trauma (including double vision).

• Vision Therapy - Visual Rehabilitation for Special Needs

  Developmental Delays, Visual Perceptual Visual-Motor Deficits, Attention Deficit Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders

• Vision Therapy - Sports Vision Improvement

  Strong visual skills are critical to sports success based on the simple fact that you need you vision. Not much happens in sports until your eyes instruct your hands and body as to what to do! Our Eye Doctors can measure and successfully improve eye-hand coordination, visual reaction time, peripheral vision, eye focusing, eye tracking and teaming, visualization skills, and more. Find out how children and adults improve coordination and sports ability through Vision Therapy or Laser Vision Correction.
