Vision Therapy (Squint Eye & Lazy Eye Screening & Therapy)
Prescription glasses and contact lenses may not always solve the underlying vision problems due to other factors such as the following:
- Convergence Insufficiency
- Depth perception and 3D vision difficulties
- Double vision
- Eye fatigue
- Eye teaming and tracking problems
- Focusing difficulties
- Hand-eye coordination difficulties
- Lazy eye (Amblyopia)
- Strabismus (crossed-eyes)
- Visual perception and processing issues
Vision problems can exist even if you have healthy eyes and can see clearly. Difficulties may occur in your eye muscle control and coordination.
To treat the range of vision problems, Vision Therapy uses a series of eye exercises and testing techniques such as eye exercises, testing, occlusion (patching) lenses and prisms. The aim is to develop and improve visual skills and processing, brain-eye-hand coordination and to ease eye strain. This treatment plan is personalised and administered by a certified Optometrist.
