What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a customized program of eye-brain exercises designed to improve how your visual system functions. It’s not just eye “exercise”—it’s a neuro-optometric approach that builds new connections between the brain and eyes through guided, therapeutic activities.

Our therapy combines movement, balance, multisensory integration, and cognitive challenges to improve how patients see, process, and respond to the world around them.

Who We Help

Our vision therapy programs are designed to meet the needs of 2 core patient groups:

Developmental Vision Issues

Children with learning-related vision problems:

Even with perfect eyesight, a child may struggle to focus, track, or team their eyes, often leading to learning difficulties, fatigue, and frustration in the classroom. Vision therapy helps strengthen these visual foundations so they can read, learn, and grow with greater ease.

Children and adults with crossed (strabismus) or lazy eyes (amblyopia):

These conditions affect how the eyes align and work together. We use evidence-based methods to retrain the visual system, encouraging binocular vision, improving depth perception, and reducing long-term discomfort.

All of these are considered developmental issues, even in adults.

Brain Injury Patients

Patients recovering from brain injuries, including:

Concussions
Stroke
Other traumatic brain injuries

Traumatic brain injuries can disrupt the complex visual pathways between the eyes and brain, causing symptoms like light sensitivity, dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty focusing, and balance problems.

Vision therapy provides targeted exercises that help rebuild these connections, alleviate symptoms, and restore visual function. This rehabilitative approach is essential for improving daily functioning, enhancing mobility, and supporting overall neurological recovery.

Our Vision Therapy Process

Our vision therapy programs are customized based on comprehensive evaluations and your specific needs.

Whether you’re struggling with school, having trouble playing sports, or have a child growing up with lazy or crossed eyes, our caring, compassionate team is here to help.

Essential Visual Skills

We focus on a range of visual skills during our vision therapy sessions. Each of these skills are used in your day-to-day life and can be affected by traumatic brain injuries or other neurological issues.

These skills include:

Eye-tracking (following moving objects)
Eye accommodation (focusing)
Convergence (ability to cross the eyes and uncross them)
Eye teaming
Depth perception
Eye-hand coordination

What Vision Therapy Supports

Visual skills are learned during early childhood development, but can be improved at any age with practice and training. An increasing amount of evidence-based research has shown optometric vision therapy to be successful in:

Helping patients build or strengthen core visual skills
Improving visual comfort, ease, and efficiency
Improving how the brain processes visual information
Treating conditions like crossed eyes, lazy eye, and poor coordination
Supporting recovery from visual-spatial challenges
Reducing visual symptoms after a brain injury
Helping the senses work better together (multisensory integration)
Allowing for greater comfort while performing your daily tasks like walking, driving and reading

What To Expect From Treatment

Each patient works with our doctors and therapists 1-on-1. The frequency and length of treatment vary with diagnosis and depend on the patient’s individual needs and goals.

In each therapy session, we guide the patient through a series of visual challenges that often incorporate the use of:

Therapeutic lenses
Prisms
Filters
Electronic targets with timing mechanisms
Optometric phototherapy
Balance boards
Virtual reality
Sanet Vision Integrator
Techniques that integrate movement, balance, auditory processing, and cognitive abilities

Sports Vision Training

Whether you’re a casual athlete or competing at a high level, your visual skills directly impact your performance. Vision therapy is a research-supported way to improve abilities like dynamic visual acuity, hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and reaction time.

Sports-related concussions and injuries can disrupt these skills, but the good news is—they can be retrained. Our team develops personalized programs that help rewire visual pathways, reduce symptoms like light sensitivity or blurry vision, and restore control and confidence in how you see and move.

With the right therapy, athletes don’t just recover—they often return stronger and more aware of how to use their vision as a competitive edge.
