Vision Therapy for All Ages: Strengthening the Eye-Brain Connection
Your vision is about more than just seeing clearly. While having good eyesight is important, true vision also relies on the connection between your eyes and brain.
Strong visual skills are essential for interpreting, understanding, and organizing visual information. They are crucial for everyday tasks like reading, writing, learning, and engaging with the world around you. When these skills aren’t fully developed, they can lead to learning challenges and other vision-related difficulties.
Vision problems can affect both children and adults, and both can benefit from vision therapy. Contact our team to schedule your consultation today.
Our Qualified Team
Our team offers personalized vision therapy programs for both kids and adults. Whether you’re looking for support with reading struggles, learning difficulties, or recovering from an injury, we are here to guide you.
Our therapists are accredited through Vision Therapy Canada, and both our optometrists and vision therapists have completed the Optometric Extension Foundation Clinical Curriculum so that you receive quality care.
What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a specialized treatment to improve visual system dysfunctions, aiming to retrain how the brain processes visual information. Unlike regular eye exams, it involves personalized exercises tailored to each patient’s needs.
Vision therapy is suitable for all ages. It helps children with conditions like strabismus or amblyopia and adults with long-term visual issues.
At Prairie Vision, our family-focused programs include weekly one-on-one sessions with a qualified therapist and at-home exercises, with progress assessments every 8 weeks to make sure you’re on track.
Signs & Symptoms of Vision Problems
Vision plays a key role in learning, and some learning disabilities share symptoms with vision problems. A thorough eye exam can help rule out visual issues, prevent misdiagnosis, and get the right support for you or your child.
Parents and guardians can also help their children by watching for common signs and symptoms of vision problems, including:
- Complaints of blurred vision or tired eyes
- Frequently rubbing of eyes or squinting
- Difficulty reading for long periods or moving their head when reading
- Short attention span or difficulty staying focused on a task
- Frequent headaches when reading or doing homework
- Struggles with handwriting, spelling, or recognizing letters and numbers
Adults might experience similar issues, like eye strain or trouble concentrating after a day of reading or working on a computer.
What Can Vision Therapy Treat?
Our vision therapy programs are designed to treat various visual issues. Whether you’re struggling with reading or recovering from a brain injury, we offer customized solutions to address your specific needs. Vision therapy can help with:
- Acquired and traumatic brain injuries (e.g., from car accidents, strokes, concussions)
- Reading below grade level
- Binocular vision issues, like eye teaming, tracking, and depth perception
- Learning-related vision problems, ADD, and ADHD
- Convergence insufficiency (when the eyes don’t work together)
- Sports vision and performance
- Vision problems like amblyopia and strabismus
Transform Your Vision with Virtual Reality Therapy
We also offer Virtual Reality Vision Therapy through Vivid Vision. This innovative therapy uses virtual reality (VR) technology to create engaging, interactive exercises that help improve your visual skills.
Whether you’re looking to improve eye coordination, depth perception, or other visual abilities, Vivid Vision offers a fun and effective way to train your brain and eyes. VR therapy is available for patients of all ages and can be a great addition to traditional vision therapy programs.
See if Vision Therapy Can Make a Difference
Vision therapy is a noninvasive, nonsurgical approach to improving the connection between your eyes and brain. Strengthening visual skills can help reduce strain and improve comfort and efficiency in daily tasks.
For children, vision therapy can improve confidence and self-esteem, helping them succeed in school and play. For adults, it can ease the strain from long hours at the computer or doing paperwork, making it easier to focus and feel more comfortable throughout the day.
Call us today to schedule a consultation, and we’ll work with you to develop a customized plan for better vision and a more comfortable life.
