Poor Binocular Vision (eye-teaming) or Accommodation (eye-focusing)
Vision therapy helps individuals develop normal coordination and teamwork of the two eyes, as well as, accuracy and efficiency of the focusing system. When the two eyes fail to work together as an effective team, performance in many areas can suffer (reading, sports, depth perception, eye contact, etc.). To learn more about binocular vision or accommodation, visit any of these web pages:

Strabismus (eye turns) and Amblyopia (lazy eye)
Vision therapy offers an excellent and frequently preferable alternative to surgery for eye turns in many cases. The earlier the patient receives vision therapy the better, however, our office has successfully treated patients well past 21 years of age. To learn more about eye turns and lazy eye treatments, visit any of the following web pages:

Stress-Induced Visual Difficulties
21st-century lifestyles demand more from our vision than ever before. Children and adults constantly use their near vision at school, work, and at home. Computer vision syndrome is one of the fastest-growing health concerns in the workplace today and compounded with increased use of computers in school. Environmental stresses on the visual system (including excessive computer use or close work) can induce eyestrain, headaches, and/or visual difficulties which can be effectively treated with corrective lenses and/or vision therapy.

Visual Rehabilitation for Special Populations/Brain Injury
Vision can be compromised as a result of neurological disorders or trauma to the nervous system (such as traumatic brain injuries, including concussion, stroke, whiplash, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, etc.). Vision therapy can effectively rehabilitate the visual consequences of these conditions. To learn more about brain injuries and vision, visit:

Sports Vision Enhancement
Strong visual skills are critical to sports success. Not much happens in sports until your eyes instruct your hands, feet, and body what to do! Accurate vision and athletic visual skills can be measured, developed, and enhanced through vision therapy. We can measure and successfully improve eye-hand coordination, visual reaction time, peripheral awareness, eye teaming, focusing, tracking, and visualization skills.
