Is Vision Therapy Right for You?

Vision therapy is a transformative solution for many individuals dealing with various visual challenges. To determine if you or a loved one is a suitable candidate for vision therapy, it's essential to understand the symptoms and conditions that may benefit from this specialized approach.

Typical Candidates for Vision Therapy

  • Children Struggling in School

    Children who exhibit difficulties with reading, writing, or maintaining attention in class may benefit from vision therapy. If a child is underperforming in school and conventional interventions have not yielded the desired results, vision therapy may be the solution.

  • Adults with Visual Discomfort

    Adults who experience frequent eye strain, headaches, or visual discomfort during reading, computer work, or other visual tasks may be candidates for vision therapy. These symptoms can often be linked to underlying vision problems that therapy can address.

  • People with Binocular Vision Issues

    Vision therapy can often improve problems with binocular vision, such as strabismus (crossed eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye). Adults and children may benefit from treatment and exercises designed to align their eyes and improve visual function.

  • Convergence or Focusing Problems

    Individuals with focusing challenges or who struggle with convergence (the ability to bring both eyes together) — which can affect reading and other close-up tasks — may find relief and improved visual comfort through vision therapy.

  • Visual Processing Disorders

    Vision therapy can strengthen the brain-eyes connection and benefit those with difficulties processing visual information, which can impact perception and comprehension.

  • Post-Concussion Vision Problems

    Following a concussion, some individuals experience visual symptoms such as double vision or tracking difficulties. Vision therapy can help in regaining visual function and comfort post-TBI.

Personalized Treatment

Vision therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each therapy program is tailored to the individual's specific needs and challenges. Whether you're a child struggling in school or an adult dealing with visual discomfort, vision therapy offers a personalized path to visual success.

While the above indicators can provide insight into whether vision therapy might be beneficial, it's crucial to undergo a professional evaluation by an experienced optometrist or vision therapist. A comprehensive eye exam is necessary to uncover any underlying vision issues and determine whether vision therapy is the appropriate treatment.

It was immediate love at first sight! Not only did the elevator open to an enormous gorgeous space, ... but I was greeted by a knowledgeable, welcoming team of Opticians at Eyecare. I arrived a little late after a difficult and stressful day, but they embraced me with open arms, and we got to work. This was my first visit so I had to complete some New Patient paperwork, however they helped me with completion so not to delay my time there. My evaluation with Nicole and Dr. Shuster was brief but quite thorough.  It’s always a little nerve wracking when you’re meeting a new medical team, but They made me feel comfortable, listened and answered questions I had about my prescription and plan. Then came the fun part and my primary reason for scheduling with them! I was skeptical that they would not meet my expectations in terms of frame options, as I have been disappointed and looking for fun funky frames for over a year. Believe me when I say, I was pleasantly surprised! Suzanne who I had spoken with before my appt to confirm, listened to my preferences and had already set aside some frames for me to try. Then, despite me being there at the end of the night, Bailey and Cherie spent considerable time while I tried on as many frames as I could.  Now, I’ll admit I am a tough critic and quite particular looking for specific shapes and dramatic colors.  When you’ve worn glasses long enough, you know what you want.  Well I may not have found what I thought I was looking for, but they opened my eyes to other options, and now I have to make a difficult decision on one or another, or maybe both! They offer a variety of high-end brands, but are reasonably priced, and they have some amazing bargains to take advantage of.  Plus, they are open later, which is hard to find, and I am so thankful for, with my work schedule.  They informed me that get new inventory pretty frequently which was music to my ears! Either way, I will be buying and will without a doubt be returning to work with this amazing team and selection of frames!  I encourage all of you who have imperfect vision to go explore.  I was referred by a very satisfied friend, and now I want to do the referring!  If it’s your first time, they will guide you!   I promise you will not regret it!

I am starting my second year with Dr. Shuster. I was sent to her from an eye doctor who had concern... s about my eyes. Dr. Shuster is knowledgeable and treats me with compassion. I am very grateful to have been sent to Pediatric & Adult Vision Care.

So professional. Every communication & interaction is friendly & clear. Everyone from the check-in c... rew to the evaluator, doctor & check out crew is capable and well-informed. They know all about my insurance coverage and double check I’m using my benefits to the max. I’ve been a patient for about 3 years & my husband for about 15 years.

Everyone is always very friendly and kind. Dr. McChesney is great, very knowledgable, patient, frien... dly and imformative. From the moment you call to schedule the appointment, to the check-in, the exam, and the help with getting glasses, everything is a breeze. Drive an hour just to come to this office, and it is worth it!

Bailey in the eyeglass area is amazing. What a great employee and very sweet, positive and uplifting... for the customers. It was such a great experience!!! 💗

They were able to find the issue that my daughter was having quickly when none of her teachers could... identify why she was having issues reading. Through a series of tests, they identified that her eyes were having issues working together which is why she was a slow reader and couldn't copy this down from the board easily. So glad we found out about this place.

Been very impressed with this team from all angles!! Exams, contacts, and glasses!

This place has a insane amount of knowledge behind its staff. Could not recommend it enough! I went... in due to a concussion and I feel better treated than I had most other places throughout my recovery.

Very professional office with state of the art equipment.
