What is Visual Therapy?

Optometric visual therapy is a series of programmed activities undertaken to improve either poorly developed visual, visual motor or visual perceptual skills, or procedures to further enhance the present visual skills to a higher level of efficiency and / or stamina.

Visual therapy may be used in the treatment of such conditions as:

• Eye turn (strabismus)
• Lazy eye (amblyopia)
• Poor eye movement or eye focussing skills (fine visual motor therapy)
• In traumatic brain injury (accident and stroke)
• Enhance specific visual abilities. (ie. required in a sport)
• Developmental and visual perceptual deficits.
