Who Can Benefit From Vision Therapy?
Patients of all ages can benefit from vision therapy. The nature of the therapy program varies with the condition treated. For example, a three year-old child with amblyopia, or “lazy eye”, may simply have the better eye patched for a short period of time. An eight year-old child with strabismus, or “crossed eye”, may require therapy for a period of a year. A 30 year-old computer programmer may require three to six months to solve a visual problem causing significant eye strain. For information on patients with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, and other conditions related to visual perception and information processing, see our web page: The Vision and Learning Center.
