Are you at your maximum performance?
Vision plays a pivotal role in an athlete’s performance. Along with diet, exercise and practice we need our eyes, brain, and body to all work together for peak performance. The […]
There is more to vision therapy than simply strengthening the eyes. Vision therapy also enhances the neurological connections between the brain and the eyes, as the brain directly influences eyesight based on how it observes and processes images sent from the outeside world through the eyes. Developing a healthy connection between the eyes and the brain is essential for good vision.
CAN I JUST DO THE THERAPY AT HOME BY MYSELF?
Vision therapy programs are individualized for the patient, and careful guidance and frequent monitoring are required for success.
When attempted by patients without guidance, poor visual habits may actually be reinforced, and the development of ‘splinter skills’ may actually make proper treatment at a later date impossible.
The use of lenses and prisms which are a vital component of many vision therapy programs are also classed as a ‘restricted activity’ in Alberta, and may only be used under the direction of a licensed eye care professional.
WILL MY INSURANCE COVER VISION THERAPY?
Some of the better health insurance policies cover the medical aspect of vision therapy.
Insurance companies do require some very particular vision codes so please ask your optometrist or vision therapist to complete the necessary insurance information package for you.
Vision Therapy assessment and appointment fees are deductible from your income tax. To find out how, please call the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) at 1-800-959-2221 or view the website here.
HOW LONG DOES VISION THERAPY LAST?
When the program is complete, the benefits of vision therapy will last for a lifetime.
Non-medical vision therapy, as related to visual perception, prepares children for lifelong learning, and it fills in gaps for many adults who have lost visual skills and abilities.
