Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation Service provides care to patients of all ages under the direction of Dr. Marc Taub, Chief of Service. Patients are referred to the care of doctors in this service both from within The Eye Center and from other doctors through the Mid-South region.

Patients may receive extended diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as strabismus (eye turn), amblyopia (“lazy eye”), and a number of basic visual skills dysfunctions. These dysfunctions may affect how an individual learns, performs in school or at work, or enjoys daily living activities.

Treatment provided in this service often consists of multi-sensory and neuro-behavioral therapy for disorders not managed by eyeglasses or contact lenses. State-of-the-art instrumentation and computerized technology allows patients of all ages to improve their vision for optimum performance.

Stroke patients or patients suffering from other neurological conditions are also helped by this service area to recover more quickly and function as close to normal as possible. Many of our patients are referred by other doctors for vision therapy and rehabilitation services.

Our doctors are specifically trained to provide the highest level of diagnosis and treatment for these conditions. In fact, a number of doctors in this service area are certified Fellows of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD).
