Many children struggle in school not because they need glasses, but because their eyes do not work well together. Problems with eye teaming, tracking, and focusing can make reading difficult and tiring. A thorough vision therapy evaluation can uncover these hidden issues and help your child succeed.
Use this quick, interactive quiz to check your child’s double vision (diplopia) symptoms and receive personalized insights that can help guide whether a professional pediatric eye evaluation is recommended.
Not sure if vision therapy is right for your child? A comprehensive vision therapy evaluation can identify hidden vision problems that regular eye exams may miss. Our eye doctors will assess how your child's eyes work together and create a plan tailored to their needs.
Lazy eye, or amblyopia, occurs when one eye does not develop normal vision during childhood. Without treatment, the brain learns to ignore the weaker eye, which can affect depth perception and daily activities. Vision therapy strengthens the connection between the brain and the weaker eye, often improving vision more effectively than patching alone.
Smooth, accurate eye movements are essential for reading. Children with eye tracking problems often skip words, lose their place, or read slowly. Vision therapy trains the eyes to move precisely across a page, helping children read more fluently and with better comprehension.
If your child struggles with reading, loses focus quickly, or complains of headaches during homework, a hidden vision problem may be the cause. Vision therapy can help children and adults whose visual skills are not keeping up with the demands of school, work, or daily life.
Vision therapy can help with lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), convergence insufficiency, attention and focus issues, and reading difficulties related to vision. It also supports recovery after a concussion or brain injury.
Glasses correct how clearly you see, while vision therapy trains your brain and eyes to work together more efficiently. Many children with 20/20 vision still struggle with focusing, eye tracking, or eye teaming problems that glasses cannot fix.
Treatment length varies based on your child's specific needs. Most programs involve weekly in-office sessions plus home exercises. A vision therapy evaluation will help determine what to expect for your child's situation.
