Common Vision Problems Treated

Convergence Insufficiency & BVD

This condition affects the eyes’ ability to work together while focusing on a near object. Symptoms include double vision, eye strain, and headaches. Vision therapy can significantly improve this condition.

Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)

Lazy eye is a condition where one eye does not achieve normal visual acuity. Through targeted exercises, vision therapy helps improve the weaker eye’s function.

Conjunctivitis and Acute Eye Problems

Conjunctivitis/"pink eye" and other acute eye problems like Iritis, corneal foreign bodies, corneal abrasions, and retinal tears/detachments can all be diagnosed and managed or referred properly out of our office.

Learning-Related Vision Problems

Children with learning-related vision problems often struggle in school. Vision therapy can improve visual processing skills, making learning easier and more effective.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Vision therapy is essential for patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries. Our specialized programs help restore visual function, improving balance, coordination, and overall quality of life.
