Vision therapy uses a wide range of tools and exercises that aid in the therapeutic process. Here, you’ll find a few examples of what vision therapists use to help strengthen the visual system.

At Opto-Mization, we utilize a variety of vision therapy exercises and tools to help patients improve their visual function and overall eye-brain coordination. Whether you’re dealing with eye strain, double vision, or visual processing issues, our tailored vision therapy programs can address a wide range of concerns.

Core Vision Therapy Tools & Exercises

1. Prism Glasses Prism glasses are essential in vision therapy, helping to correct binocular vision issues by altering the way light enters the eyes. This modification aids in reducing double vision, enhancing depth perception, and improving overall visual comfort.

2. Brock String The Brock String exercise is a fundamental tool for improving eye coordination and focus. It’s particularly effective in treating convergence insufficiency, where the eyes struggle to work together when focusing on close objects.

3. Syntonic Phototherapy Syntonic phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the brain’s visual pathways, promoting better balance between the eyes and brain. This therapy is especially beneficial for patients experiencing visual processing delays or balance issues related to vision.

Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is highly effective for individuals of all ages experiencing various visual challenges. Children with learning disabilities, individuals recovering from concussions, or those with chronic headaches and migraines may see significant improvements through a customized vision therapy program.
