Vision Therapy
Customized vision therapy programs address binocular vision disorders, eye movement problems, and visual processing delays. Our evidence-based treatments improve visual efficiency through specialized exercises and equipment. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions led by our board-certified optometrist, with proven results for conditions like convergence insufficiency and learning-related visual problems.
Neuro-Optometric Evaluations
Comprehensive neuro-optometric assessments identify visual processing issues following brain injuries or developmental disorders. We evaluate eye coordination, focusing ability, and visual information processing using advanced diagnostic techniques. This specialized evaluation forms the basis for personalized rehabilitation plans addressing symptoms from double vision to reading difficulties.
Sensory Learning Program
Our simultaneous multi-sensory treatment integrates visual, auditory, and vestibular stimulation to improve sensory processing. This research-backed program addresses symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, learning differences, and post-concussive symptoms. The holistic approach enhances coordination, attention, and sensory integration through coordinated therapeutic activities.
Convergence Insufficiency Treatment
Specialized treatment for convergence insufficiency combines in-office therapy with home exercises to improve eye teaming abilities. We address symptoms like reading difficulties, headaches, and double vision through targeted visual training. Our approach has demonstrated significant improvement rates in both pediatric and adult patients.
Optometric Syntonic Photo Therapy
Syntonic photo therapy utilizes specific light wavelengths to improve visual processing and neurological function. This non-invasive treatment addresses visual stress, learning-related vision problems, and post-trauma visual disturbances. Customized light exposure protocols are integrated with other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive care.
