Vision Therapy InformationOptometric vision therapy is a sequence of neurosensory and neuromuscular activities individually prescribed and monitored by the doctor of optometry to develop, rehabilitate and enhance visual skills and processing. The optometric vision therapy program is based on the results of a comprehensive eye examination or consultation, and takes into consideration the results of standardized tests, the needs of the patient, and the patient’s signs and symptoms. The use of lenses, prisms, filters, occluders, specialized instruments, and computer programs is an integral part of optometric vision therapy. The length of the therapy program varies depending on the severity of the diagnosed conditions, typically ranging from several months to longer periods of time. Activities paralleling in-office techniques are typically taught to the patient to be practiced at home, thereby reinforcing the developing visual skills.
