What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy comprises of an individualized series of vision procedures and exercises that help develop and improve upon our functional vision and visual information processing speed. It is a proven individualized neuro-optometric program performed under the supervision of a Developmental Optometrist that works at the level of the brain.
Functional vision is the ability of the visual system to not only obtain clear vision, but also comfortable vision at various distances for prolonged time periods. It contributes to the overall efficiency of the visual system. Visual information processing is the brain’s ability to take the information provided by the eyes and make sense out what is being seen.
