Vision Therapy

Beyond 20/20

While many people have excellent sight, the same might not be said for their visual abilities. Our sight is the information our eyes take in and present to our brain. Our vision is how our brain interprets and uses this information.

Vision therapy can be compared to physiotherapy in that it is rooted in precise and intentional exercises and movements. Vision therapy is used to train the brain, build the extraocular muscles, and teach our visual system how to work as a cohesive mechanism.

Vision Therapy Can Help With…

• Amblyopia or “lazy eye”
• Strabismus
• Binocular vision problems
• Eye movement disorders
• Accommodative or focusing disorders
• Vision problems associated with developmental disabilities, brain injuries, and visual processing issues.

Introducing RightEye Technology

Daniel Island Eye Care is thrilled to offer our patients RightEye, the newest innovation in eye tracking technology. This non-invasive five minute test captures involuntary eye movements at a rate of 30-250 times per second, allowing us to better detect problems with visual performance, brain function and eye health.

Vision Therapy for Children

Does your child have a vision problem?

Children can’t always communicate their problems in the same ways that adults do. It’s up to us to keep an eye on their wellbeing, and to take notice when something is off.

The following are a few signs that your child may have a vision problem:

• Eyes that are misaligned (constantly or on occasion)
• Poor visual tracking (ability to follow an object)
• Consistent squinting or eye-rubbing
• Sitting extremely close to the television
• Physical compensation when doing visual tasks – closing one eye, squinting, tilting head.
• Quick, fluttering eye movements
• High sensitivity to light
• Chronic redness or watering of the eyes
• White pupil (congenital cataract)

Our Children’s Eye Exams

If you are concerned that your child has a vision problem, it’s important to have it attended to right away.
