What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a non-surgical, personalized program designed to train and strengthen the connection between your eyes and brain.
It is similar to physical therapy but focuses on enhancing the visual system’s function. By using a combination of exercises, specialized lenses, and computerized techniques, vision therapy helps correct specific visual issues that may be affecting your everyday life.
How Does Vision Therapy Help?
A vision therapy routine can help strengthen the eyes and correct the following eye conditions:
- Issues with eye-tracking: Supporting how well your eyes follow a moving target
- Issues with eye-teaming: Helping the eyes work together
- Binocular vision dysfunction: Improving the ability to blend separate images from each eye into one coherent image
- Problems with accommodation: Helping to focus on nearer objects
- Issues with visual-motor integration: Improving hand-eye coordination
Anyone with a vision-related problem can benefit from vision therapy, provided the patient is willing to follow their prescribed program and practice their routines regularly.
Vision Therapy for Children
Children who have vision problems can become withdrawn and uncomfortable in various situations—which is one of the critical reasons why Chestermere Optometry offers vision therapy.
Vision therapy offers children a chance to overcome their visual difficulties and helps provide empowerment, gratification, and a sense of fulfillment.
Vision therapy can be the key to unlocking our children’s potential, allowing them to grow academically and socially.
Symptoms of Vision Problems
Some signs that you or your child may benefit from vision therapy include:
- Difficulty reading or focusing on close tasks
- Frequent headaches or eye strain
- Double vision or blurred vision
- Difficulty tracking words on a page

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a comprehensive eye exam can determine if vision therapy is right for you.
