RESEARCH ON VISION THERAPY

Each year thousands of individuals benefit from the enhanced and improved visual abilities provided through Vision Therapy.  Optometric vision therapy has been shown through research and clinical studies to be an effective treatment for many types of vision problems including eye focusing, eye movement, eye coordination, crossed eyes (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), and visual perceptual and processing delays

Although parts of Vision Therapy, also called orthoptics, have been utilized for over 100 years in treating crossed-eyes and lazy eye, the use of Vision Therapy in the last forty to fifty years has expanded to include effective treatment of many types of binocular vision and visual perception problems.
