Conditions that Can Benefit from Vision Therapy

  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye):
    Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn't develop proper visual abilities, leading to reduced vision. Vision therapy can encourage the weaker eye to work more efficiently and strengthen its visual function.
  • Strabismus (Crossed Eyes):
    Strabismus affects eye alignment, and vision therapy can help train the eyes to work together correctly, helping restore binocular vision.
  • Convergence Insufficiency:
    Vision therapy exercises can improve convergence abilities for individuals who struggle with maintaining eye alignment for close-up tasks like reading.
  • Eye-Tracking Issues:
    Vision therapy can address difficulties in the smooth tracking of objects, making tasks like reading or following a moving target more manageable.
  • Visual Processing Disorders:
    Vision therapy can aid in improving the brain's processing of visual information, enhancing overall visual perception.
  • Post-Concussion Vision Problems:
    After a concussion, vision issues may arise, including double vision and tracking difficulties. Vision therapy can help regain visual function.
  • Visual Discomfort:
    Frequent headaches, eye strain, or discomfort during visual tasks can be alleviated through vision therapy.
  • Post-Stroke Vision Difficulties:
    Vision therapy can improve visual function after a stroke by addressing issues like blurred vision and depth perception.

When Should You Consider Vision Therapy?

  • Children Experiencing Reading Difficulties

    If reading difficulties affect your child’s academic performance, vision therapy can help by improving those visual skills crucial for reading and learning.

  • Headaches

    If you or a loved one experiences ongoing headaches due to vision problems, it might be a good time to explore the benefits of vision therapy.

  • Eye Focusing Problems

    Whether it's difficulty shifting focus between near and distant objects or sustaining focus, vision therapy can enhance the ability to focus correctly.

  • Post-Rehabilitation

    After medical or surgical treatment for a vision-related condition, vision therapy can help further enhance visual function and quality of life.

Amazing place to do Vision Therapy! My 10 year old daughter was here for 9 months and her improvemen... ts were amazing. She loved her vision therapists and can also see her work has helped her in school and everyday life.

After a head injury, I was experiencing vision problems for about 10 years. My vision was blurry and... looked almost like a vhs recording or an old CRT TV. It was incredibly difficult to read, especially on screens, and I frequently became dizzy, anxious, and nauseated. I had panic attacks randomly and felt off balance and dissociated all the time. I also had severe TMJ and neck pain. I saw several doctors (including eye doctors, neurologists, ENTs and Psychiatrists) and received many different treatments including sinus surgery, TMJ botox, and several different anxiety medications. Unfortunately, none of these really had an impact, and my symptoms persisted. Other eye doctors I saw said my eyes were dry from allergies and all my routine eye exams were normal. It wasn't until I was screened for vision dysfuntion by Dr. Smith that I learned that it was not just anxiety or allergies and I had vision problems that could be treated through vision therapy. Dr. Smith and Ms. Amanda were incredibly caring and skilled, and after completing a 4 month VT program, I no longer suffer from any of my previous symptoms. My life has changed completely, and it's amazing to go through a work day without dry heaving or having a panic attack. It was also nice that all of the activities for VT were similar to games, and there were no pills or surgeries involved. I was a little sceptical of the light bed therapy, but once I started the light bed sessions I was amazed how effective it was for reducing my nausea and managing my sensory issues. I can't recommend VT highly enough!!!

Wow. This was my second visit to Suburban EyeCare and I am beyond happy that I have chosen them to b... e my eye care provider. Every member of their team with whom I interacted was professional, polite, helpful and kind, in a very sincere and genuine way. I have been to numerous eye care providers over the years and Suburban EyeCare is by far the best. Thank you to my friend Jack E for the initial referral last summer - he told me they were great, and he was 100% correct.

We loved working with Ms. Amanda for vision therapy for our 10 year-old. She was great communicating... with us to ensure proper practice was done on the at home work. The practice bribes were a hit. We were always greeted with a smile and it’s a bonus that they have things to do for siblings in the waiting room.
