Common Questions
Vision therapy is a structured program of guided eye exercises that strengthen visual skills like tracking, focusing, and depth perception. It can help children who struggle with reading, learning, or attention because of underlying vision problems.
Signs include skipping words while reading, reversing letters, eye strain or headaches during schoolwork, short attention span, and avoiding reading or homework. A functional eye exam can tell us whether vision therapy would help. Call us at (770) 758-8945 to schedule one.
The length of a vision therapy program depends on your child's needs and goals. After the functional eye exam, we will explain the recommended plan and what to expect, so you have a clear picture before getting started.
A standard eye exam checks how clearly you see and screens for eye health. A functional eye exam goes further to evaluate how well the visual system is working, including more than 17 visual skills that affect reading and learning.
What Is Vision Therapy?
Did you know 20/20 vision is only a piece of the puzzle? We need over 17 crucial visual skills for effective performance in school and sports.
Children with weaker vision skills might put in extra effort but fall short of desired outcomes. If they’re struggling with concentration, this could be due to these poor visual skills.
Vision therapy is a proven program comprising exercises that hone specific vision skills to lift reading levels, boost comprehension, extend attention spans, and even enhance sports performance.
Vision therapy might hold the key you've been looking for. We're here to help your child tap into their visual potential and tackle any underlying visual challenges head-on.

A Functional Eye Exam
If your child struggles with reading, learning, or reaching their potential academically or athletically, request an appointment for a functional eye exam with our developmental optometrists. We'll assess over 17 visual skills, including tracking, reading fluency, focusing, and depth perception.
A Personalized Therapy Plan
Once we detect vulnerabilities that could affect learning, we create a personalized vision therapy plan. This plan includes tailored eye exercises to enhance visual functions and retrain the brain's interpretation of visual input.
Support for Learning
When vision skills are weak, reading and learning take more effort. Strengthening these skills can help your child read more comfortably, focus longer, and feel more confident in the classroom.
Support for Sports
Strong visual skills also help on the field. Better tracking, focus, and depth perception can improve hand-eye coordination, timing, and overall performance in sports and other activities.
Help for Double Vision and Focus Issues
The program may also involve the use of prism lenses. This approach blends tailored exercises and lenses to refine visual skills, retraining the brain-eye connection. If double vision, imbalance, or depth perception issues persist, our doctors offer prism-based vision therapy, fine-tuning treatment through hands-on sessions and valuable feedback.
