What is Vision Therapy?
The Vision and Learning Center offers vision therapy in Collegeville, PA and surrounding areas for children who suffer from various vision-related diseases, conditions, or injuries. This form of therapy is used to teach the child's brain to better control the eyes, thus improving their visual acuity and sight. Although vision therapy is most often performed on children, older individuals can also benefit from it.
The Vision and Learning Center is dedicated to vision development and rehabilitation through evidenced-based neuroscience principles. These principles are fundamental to all therapeutic practices, including speech or physical therapy, and are the key to our vision therapy.
Conditions Treated with Vision Therapy
Following your initial examination, Dr. Malikkal may find one or several conditions that can be treated through the vision therapy PA trusts. Some of these conditions include:
- Depth perception problems
- Double vision
- Eye fatigue
- Lack of hand-eye coordination
- Processing problems
- Tracking issues
Most of these conditions listed above are related to the way the brain interprets signals and information from the eyes, which is why they can be treated with vision therapy.
How Does Vision Therapy Work?
Vision therapy is a set of processes and actions that are personalized to each patient’s individual needs. In many cases, Dr. Malikkal may provide prisms, filters and other equipment to help assist your child with their therapy exercises.
The latest technology has enabled new forms of fun and engaging therapy that is more like playing a game, yet also helps the child train their eyes and brain to function better. Patients can begin vision therapy at any age, but due to neuroplasticity, it is recommended they begin as young as possible.
Using the Latest in Vision Therapy Technology
As part of our program for vision therapy DE, NJ, and PA love, we use Vivid Vision. This VT technology is used to binocular vision issues, such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (slow eye) and convergence insufficiency (not being able to keep two eyes working together while working at a near distance). This is especially useful when treating children, as it allows them to play while also training their brain.
Vivid Vision combines interactive and exciting exercises alongside vision assessments. For more information about this state-of-the-art technology, visit seevividly.com.
We also use modern systems from NeuroTracker, the world's most scientifically-validated cognitive training technology for use with patients who have suffered a brain injury, stroke or concussion.
Additionally, we use Home Vision Therapy Systems
and Bynocs
software as part of our comprehensive vision therapy programs.
Potential Results of Vision Therapy
Depending on the causes, age and dedication of each patient to vision therapy, they may begin to experience positive benefits as soon as a few weeks after therapy begins. The rate of improvement will vary significantly between patients, but the effectiveness of vision therapy cannot be disputed!
You may notice improvements in your child’s academic performance following vision therapy because they can see better in the classroom. If your child is performing poorly in class, it could simply be that they are having trouble seeing the board. If a child needs vision therapy but does not receive it, their reading ability and comprehension, spelling, and writing abilities can all be impaired.
