Vision Therapy | Kingston & New Minas

Helping Your Eyes and Brain Work Together

Vision therapy is a personalized, rehabilitative approach that strengthens the connection between the eyes and the brain, helping improve eye coordination, focus, and visual processing. Some vision challenges, such as amblyopia or strabismus, cannot be fully corrected with glasses or contacts alone because the issue lies in how the brain and eyes work together.

Our programs at Valley Family Optometry are tailored to each patient, combining supervised exercises and guided activities to help the eyes and brain communicate more effectively.

If you’re looking to improve your child’s visual skills or address persistent vision challenges, schedule a consultation with our team today to see how vision therapy can help.

How Vision Therapy Supports Learning and Daily Life

Vision therapy can play an important role in improving learning, reading, and visual processing. Poor eye coordination or inefficient visual skills can make schoolwork and other tasks more difficult, but targeted exercises help retrain the eyes and brain to work together more effectively.

Our team supervises each session, ensuring exercises are safe, effective, and suited to your child’s needs.

Conditions We Treat with Vision Therapy

Vision therapy is designed to help the eyes and brain work together more effectively. Many vision problems are not caused by the need for glasses alone, but by how the eyes communicate with each other and with the brain.

At Valley Family Optometry, we create personalized therapy programs to address a wide range of visual challenges. Each program combines guided exercises, eye-tracking activities, and neurological training to improve eye coordination, focus, and overall visual performance.

Amblyopia develops when one eye does not achieve normal vision or fails to work in sync with the other. Without early intervention, this can lead to permanent vision differences and reduced depth perception.

Vision therapy combined with corrective lenses encourages the brain to recognize input from both eyes, retraining visual pathways, and improving binocular vision.

Therapy exercises are tailored to your child’s age and needs, helping strengthen the weaker eye while enhancing overall visual function.

Strabismus occurs when one or both eyes turn inward, outward, or fail to align correctly. This misalignment can impact depth perception, reading, and eye coordination. Vision therapy works by retraining the ocular muscles and improving the brain’s ability to fuse images from both eyes.

Exercises are customized to target eye alignment, coordination, and focus, helping the eyes work together more smoothly and efficiently.

Some individuals struggle with poor eye teaming, difficulty maintaining focus, or trouble tracking moving objects. These challenges can affect reading, sports performance, and daily tasks.

Vision therapy strengthens eye coordination, tracking, and focusing skills through structured exercises, enhancing visual efficiency and comfort. Over time, patients often notice improved reading speed, reduced eye strain, and better hand-eye coordination.

Visual processing difficulties, depth perception problems, and hand-eye coordination issues can make everyday activities more challenging. Tailored vision therapy programs address these needs by combining cognitive and visual exercises.

The goal is to improve how the eyes and brain process information, making tasks like reading, writing, and playing sports easier and more accurate.
