Therapy for Vision, Built Just for You

Vision therapy is a customised programme of exercises designed to improve visual skills and correct issues that glasses or contact lenses alone cannot fix. It is like physical therapy for the eyes and brain. This is helpful for treating eye tracking, eye teaming, focusing and processing problems, as well as amblyopia and strabismus.

The goal is to retrain your eyes and brain to work more efficiently together, helping you to see more clearly, read more comfortably, and thrive in daily life.

Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is helpful for children and adults with:

Eye tracking problems (difficulty following a line of text)
Eye teaming issues (eyes not working together properly)
Focusing difficulties (trouble switching focus from near to distance)
Amblyopia (lazy eye) and Strabismus (turned eye)
Visual processing disorders (problems interpreting visual information)

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Vision Therapy at Surrey Hills Eyecare involve?

At Surrey Hills Eyecare we have a dedicated vision therapy space. Each vision therapy programme is personalised and may include: in-office sessions with Sallyanne, and at home exercises to reinforce progress. Vision therapy uses a wide range of tools and activities designed to train the eyes and brain to work together more effectively. Depending on the individual’s needs, sessions may include: Lenses and prisms, to change how the eyes focus and coordinate. Filters and 3D glasses, to help improve binocular vision and depth perception. Computer programs and interactive software, for engaging visual tasks. Balance boards and movement activities, to integrate vision with body coordination. Charts, letter cards and tracking exercises, to strengthen eye movements and visual attention. Specialised equipment such as Brock strings, Marsden balls, and accommodative flippers.

Is it ever too late to treat Strabismus or Amblyopia?

Fortunately, we now know more about the brain and neuroplasticity and it is now understood with effort and commitment, improvements in vision can me made at any age.

How long does a typical therapy programme take?

The length of a vision therapy programme can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition being treated, as well as each individual’s response to therapy. On average, many programmes run for several months, with sessions typically scheduled once a week and supported by home activities. Some patients may notice improvements sooner, while others may require a longer course to achieve the best results. We’ll discuss your specific treatment plan and expected timeframe after your assessment.

Can vision therapy replace the need for glasses or contact lenses?

In most cases, no, as glasses or contacts correct clarity, while vision therapy trains how your eyes and brain work together. Many people benefit from both. But in some cases, people may only require vision therapy.

Is vision therapy just for children?

Vision therapy can help at any age if visual skills are not working effectively and efficiently. Adults can be very motivated and make great gains with their vision especially if there has been an injury, unresolved visual skills issues, concussion, or even motivation to address long-standing issues from amblyopia and strabismus.
