Vision Therapy of Vermont LLC

Vision Therapy of Vermont treats visual conditions that cannot be treated adequately with just glasses, contact lenses and/or patching. Vision therapy, often referred to as ”physical therapy for the eyes and brain”, is a highly effective non-surgical treatment based on a medically diagnosed vision condition.  

Vision Therapy is an individualized, supervised, treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and/or perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Vision Therapy sessions include procedures designed to enhance the brain's ability to control:

• eye teaming 
• eye tracking
• eye focusing abilities
• eye movements
• visual processing

Vision therapy is for all ages with visual challenges, such as but not limited to:

Learning-related Vision Problems
Vision Therapy can help those individuals who lack the necessary visual skills for effective reading, writing, and learning (i.e., eye movement and focusing skills, convergence, eye-hand activity, visual memory skills, etc.).

Poor Binocular (2-eyed) Coordination
Vision Therapy helps individuals develop normal coordination and teamwork of the two eyes (binocular vision). When the two eyes fail to work together as an effective team, performance in many areas can suffer (reading, sports, depth perception, eye contact, etc.).

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes, Eye Turns, etc.) and Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Vision Therapy programs offer much higher cure rates for turned eyes and/or lazy eye when compared to eye surgery, glasses, and/or patching, without therapy.

Stress-related Visual Problems - Blurred Vision, Visual Stress from Reading and Computers, Eye Strain Headaches, and/or Vision-induced Stomachaches or Motion Sickness
21st century life demands more from our vision than ever before.  Many children and adults constantly use their near vision at school, work and home.  Environmental stresses on the visual system (including excessive computer use or close work) can induce blurred vision, eyestrain, headaches, etc.
 
Depending on the diagnosis’ the vision therapy programs are between 25-45 weeks in length. During the final stages of therapy, the patient's newly acquired visual skills are reinforced and made automatic through repetition and by integration with motor and cognitive skills.  Once the vision therapy program is completed the results are permanent.
