In the domain of Optometry, Vision Therapy aims to straighten the eyes cosmetically with eye muscle training, known as Orthoptics, as well as train and rehabilitate the eye-brain connection in vision which serves to improve visual comfort, efficiency and improved processing of visual information. Struggles in school or work may be caused by a functional vision problem. In this respect under a trained Optometrist’s supervision, Vision Therapy can be directed toward resolving visual problems which may interfere with educational instruction. An optometric vision therapy program consists of supervised in-office and at home reinforcement exercises performed over weeks to months. The therapy may also include training glasses, prisms, filters, patches, electronic targets, or balance boards.
