Understanding Vision Therapy: More Than Just Sight

Vision therapy is a specialized rehabilitative program designed to treat visual dysfunctions caused by developmental delays or neurological changes. Think of it as physical therapy for the brain-eye connection. By using a personalized sequence of activities, we help patients develop and enhance the vital visual skills needed to process information efficiently.

Specialized Treatment for Complex Conditions:

  • Post-Concussion Vision Syndrome: A 2025 study confirms that office-based vision therapy yields significantly faster recovery for concussion-related eye conditions like convergence insufficiency.
  • Binocular Vision Disorders: Correcting issues with eye teaming and focus that lenses alone cannot fix.
  • Neurological Support: Addressing dizziness, light sensitivity, and balance issues following a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Consultation with Dr. Stacey Jones

Dr. Stacey’s commitment to vision therapy began early in life, inspired by her own brother’s journey with a vision-related learning disability. Her evaluation includes a comprehensive review of your medical history and a precise measurement of your visual-motor integration.

Symptoms of Vision Therapy

Vision therapy is prescribed to treat many different visual problems including:

  • Accommodative Dysfunction (the focusing system of the eye)
  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
  • Binocular Vision Problems
  • Convergence Insufficiency
  • Motion Sickness
  • Oculomotor Dysfunctions
  • Post-concussion Vision Syndrome
  • Strabismus (Crossed or Turned eye)
  • Visual Processing Disorder

Developmental Vision Evaluation for Vision Therapy

When a child or adult exhibits signs of reading and/or learning difficulties, the first step should begin with a Developmental Vision Evaluation. Dr. Stacey begins with an in-depth case history, followed by a comprehensive sensorimotor and visual perceptual assessment. This assessment measures eye coordination and visual processing related to reading fluency, letter reversals, handwriting and overall learning abilities. After testing, she will determine if any visual diagnoses are impacting educational performance, prescribe appropriate lenses when necessary and provide a written report and plan for therapeutic solutions to visual problems for future educational success.
