Vision therapy is a set of activities and exercises devoted to developing and enhancing visual performance, and its effectiveness isn’t just limited to kids — it’s for adults too! The ultimate goal of vision therapy is to improve visual comfort, ease and efficiency. An optometric vision therapy program has two components: supervised in-office sessions to teach you skills, and at-home exercises to help reinforce them. Training of the visual system has been shown to be effective for eye fatigue, headaches, double vision and tracking problems.

Glaucoma Assessment and Co-management

Glaucoma causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve of the eye. Many individuals are asymptomatic until late stages of the disease.

Glaucoma causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve of the eye. Many individuals are asymptomatic until late stages of the disease. An optometrist may see you more often if they feel you are at a higher risk of developing glaucoma, for example, a positive family history or elevated eye pressure. We know that elevated eye pressure is a large risk factor, but an individual can also develop glaucoma with normal pressures. This is why it is critical to have a detailed, comprehensive eye exam.

Cataracts

When cataracts start to form, it presents as clouding of the lens in your eyes. You may not notice cataracts at first, but over time you can start to experience blurred vision, halos around lights, or difficulty with reading.

When cataracts start to form, it presents as clouding of the lens in your eyes. You may not notice cataracts at first, but over time you can start to experience blurred vision, halos around lights, or difficulty with reading. When identified, your optometrists will then refer you to a specialist to start with the lens replacement process. As your vision often changes after cataract removal, we typically re-evaluate your vision 4-6 weeks following surgery to ensure visual function is maximized.
