What is vision therapy?
Vision therapy is a customized treatment program that trains your eyes and brain to work together more effectively. It’s designed to improve visual function in ways that eyeglasses or contact lenses cannot fully correct. While glasses and contacts help you see more clearly, vision therapy focuses on how well your eyes move, focus, and process information.
By using a combination of in-office sessions and at-home exercises, our vision therapists can help improve eye coordination, focus, and visual processing skills. We also incorporate tools such as balance boards and exercise balls to make our vision therapy sessions more interactive and engaging for patients of all ages!

How vision therapy is different at Focus Eyecare
Our vision therapy program is fully customized to match the specific goals and needs of each individual. We use a structured three-phase approach to strengthen visual function and apply those skills to real-life situations.
Phase 1
We focus on building core visual abilities such as eye tracking, focusing, and coordination. This phase may also address retained reflexes or motor skill delays.
Phase 2
Skills are taken to the next level by increasing difficulty and building automaticity. Visual perception is introduced to train the brain in recognizing and interpreting visual information.
Phase 3
We work on integrating vision with thinking and learning. This includes developing visual memory, visualization, and applying skills to academics and daily tasks.
Every program is built with careful attention to your progress, so therapy stays relevant and effective.
Does vision therapy work?
Yes, vision therapy is supported by decades of scientific research and clinical success. Studies published in journals like Optometry and Vision Science and the Journal of the American Optometric Association show that vision therapy can significantly improve conditions such as convergence insufficiency and visual processing disorders. Long-term improvements are achievable with consistent therapy and proper guidance.
