Vision Therapy is a doctor-supervised, non-surgical and customized program of visual activities designed to correct certain vision problems and/or improve visual skills. Vision therapy can include the use of lenses, prisms, filters and computer-assisted visual activities.
Overall, the goal of vision therapy is to treat vision problems that cannot be treated successfully with eyeglasses, contact lenses and/or surgery alone, and help people achieve clear, comfortable binocular vision. Conditions such as amblyopia, strabismus, binocular vision problems, eye movement disorders, and accommodative disorders have been shown to benefit from a prescribed individual plan administered under the care of a doctor of optometry.
