Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a customized treatment program designed to improve visual skills and processing, helping people address vision problems that can't always be corrected by glasses or contacts alone. At Infinity EyeCare, we believe that vision therapy can make a significant impact on various types of patients, from children struggling in school to adults dealing with visual stress.

Children with Learning Difficulties

Children who experience reading difficulties, focus issues, or headaches while studying might have underlying visual challenges that vision therapy can help address. Conditions like convergence insufficiency, where the eyes struggle to work together at close range, can make learning more difficult. Vision therapy helps improve coordination and visual stamina, making it easier for these children to focus, read, and comprehend materials.
 

Patients with Eye Coordination Issues

If your eyes don’t work together properly, it can cause double vision, blurry vision, or depth perception problems. Vision therapy strengthens the eye muscles and retrains the brain to improve coordination, which is essential for everyday tasks like driving, sports, and navigating around the house.
 

Individuals with Binocular Vision Disorders

For those who experience difficulties with depth perception, eye alignment, or tracking (like smoothly following a moving object), vision therapy can be transformative. This treatment helps the eyes work together as a team, which is essential for spatial awareness and maintaining balance.
 

Athletes Looking to Improve Their Visual Performance

Vision therapy isn’t just for those with diagnosed vision issues—it’s also popular among athletes who want to boost their visual performance. Sports vision therapy can help enhance reaction time, depth perception, hand-eye coordination, and focus, giving athletes an edge in their performance.
 

People with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

People who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion often experience vision problems, such as light sensitivity, difficulty focusing, and poor hand-eye coordination. Vision therapy can help retrain the brain and eyes to work together effectively, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life for TBI patients.
 

Adults with Digital Eye Strain

For those who spend hours a day on screens, symptoms like eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision can become commonplace. Vision therapy can help build up eye resilience and minimize the symptoms associated with prolonged screen time, making it beneficial for students, professionals, and anyone who relies on digital devices daily.
 

People with Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) or Crossed Eyes (Strabismus)

Conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes) are often treatable with vision therapy. Through a series of specialized exercises, vision therapy can help strengthen the weaker eye, improve focus, and enhance binocular vision, which helps the eyes work in unison.
 

Those Experiencing Visual Stress

For people who experience frequent headaches, dizziness, or nausea due to visual stimuli, vision therapy offers a solution by helping to build tolerance and strength in eye function. These exercises can lead to more comfortable, consistent vision, relieving discomfort.
