80% of learning is processed through the eyes.

Vision related problems can be misdiagnosed as inattention or hyperactivity. Unfortunately, most school vision screenings only test for distance vision, whereas near vision is a crucial component in learning. Children can struggle with numerous vision related issues which can be resolved with vision therapy. Eye movements, eye teaming/tracking, and visual information processing are vital skills for reading and learning.

At Family Optometry and Vision Therapy we look at all areas where the visual system can break down. Once the condition is discovered, we create a vision therapy plan designed specifically to improve the deficient areas. Our vision therapy schedule is flexible in that we understand families lead very busy lives with work, school, and other activities. Our sessions are packed with numerous exercises to improve reading skills, eye-hand coordination, and overall self-esteem. Each session lasts one hour and is scheduled two times per week for optimal results.
