Why Vision Therapy is important

Quality Vision Therapy from Our Optometrists 

Sometimes, we all need a little support. Glasses and contacts can improve your vision, but vision therapy seeks to support your overall eye health. Vision Therapy aims to develop and enhance visual skills and comfort and change visual information processing. Our team at Warm Springs Optometric Group in Fremont provides quality vision therapy to help patients with eye care. We will use a combination of supervised in-office exercises like training glasses, prisms, filters, patches, or electronic targets to improve vision. 
 

How Therapy Can Help

Vision therapy is not defined by a simple list of tools and techniques. Achieving successful vision therapy depends not only on the tools used but also on our team's active engagement and the patient. The goal of vision therapy exercises is to treat vision problems that cannot be adequately treated with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Our optometrists can help patients achieve clear binocular vision. The vision therapy we offer ensures that you or your child are not struggling with an undiagnosed vision problem.
 

Improve Eye-Tracking and Depth Perception

Vision therapy improves eye-tracking and depth perception, which are critical for sports activities. Excellent eye-tracking enables players to accurately track moving objects (like balls or other players) with both eyes. Depth perception, the capacity to judge the relative distance between two points and move an object based on the judgment, comes in handy when scoring a soccer goal or parking a car. Vision therapy also develops distance acuity, focus change, and peripheral vision useful for sporting activities.
 

Vision Therapy Improves Learning Outcome

Visual problems interfere with the capacity to read and understand. Vision therapy can help develop visual fixation, which is the ability to aim accurately and interpret a series of stationary objects such as words in a sentence. With a better reading experience, learning becomes more efficient and effective. Vision therapy also helps develop attention skills, visualization, and near vision acuity for a better learning experience.
 

Vision Therapy Alleviates Consequences of Vision Problems

Vision deficiencies lead to consequences like headaches, fatigue, double vision, stress, and suppression when you overstrain the eyes. These problems and the visual problems typically worsen if they are not addressed appropriately. Vision therapy relieves such issues as well as treating the condition.
