Vision performance, also known as optometric vision therapy, is a series of individualized therapeutic activities for training the eyes and visual system. This strengthens neural pathways to help you function more efficiently and comfortably, to ensure good binocular vision and enhance visual perception.
SPORTS VISION ENHANCEMENT
Sports vision training can help athletes of every level improve how they perform during competition. Eye-hand coordination, reaction time, depth perception, eye tracking, and more can be enhanced through proper guided training.
As much as 50 percent of your brain is involved in the visual process. Upwards of 69% of adolescents have visual or visual perceptual symptoms after experiencing a TBI. Our team is dedicated to finding deficits and getting you on the road to recovery.
Amblyopia and
Lazy Eye
Therapy works well to help improve how the “weak” eye can see, all while teaching the two eyes to team together. Go beyond patching and eyedrops.
Strabismus, Crossed Eyes, and More
Very commonly, misaligned eyes can be helped without needing eye muscle surgery. Explore every opportunity before resorting to surgical intervention. We can help review your options.
Visual Perceptual
Analysis
How your brain interprets visual information, sorts it, stores it, integrates it, and retrieves it, are all are important in the visual process. Get it tested.
Career Performance Enhancement
By learning to improve vision and visual perceptual skills, adults can see improvements in performance on things like standardized testing (SAT, MCAT), where even just a few points can make a difference.
