STRABISMUS AND AMBLYOPIA
When a person’s eyes do not aim in the same common direction, the condition is called “strabismus”. Commonly known as ‘crossed eyes’ or ‘wall eyes’, the eyes may turn constantly upward, downward, inward or outward.
Vision Therapy programs offer much higher cure rate for turned eyes and/or lazy eye when compared to eye surgery, glasses, and/or patching, without therapy.

COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME
C.V.S or Computer Vision Syndrome is one of the fastest growing health concerns in the workplace today.
Children and adults in our technological society constantly use their near vision at both work and home. Environmental stresses on the visual system can cause eyestrain, headaches, and visual difficulties and which can be effectively treated with Vision Therapy.
SPORTS VISION IMPROVEMENTS

Accurate vision and athletic visual skills can be measured, developed, and enhanced through Visual Therapy. We can improve eye-hand coordination, visual reaction time, peripheral awareness, eye teaming, focusing, tracking, and visualization skills.
VISUAL REHABILITATION FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Vision can be compromised as a result of neurological disorders or trauma to the nervous system such as traumatic brain injuries, stroke, and whiplash.
Vision Therapy can effectively treat the visual consequences of trauma including double vision, tracking and focusing dysfunctions, and provide compensations for visual field loss.
