Vision Therapy
Customized treatment programs address visual-motor and perceptual-cognitive deficiencies through doctor-supervised sessions. Our therapy improves eye alignment, tracking, focusing, and teaming abilities for patients with learning-related vision disorders, concussions, and developmental conditions. This non-surgical approach effectively treats strabismus, amblyopia, and convergence insufficiency across all age groups.
Light Therapy
Optometric light therapy applies specific color frequencies to restore nervous system balance and enhance physiological processes. This treatment improves visual acuity, reduces eye strain, and addresses sensory processing challenges by rebalancing sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system functions through controlled light exposure.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive assessments evaluate total visual function beyond standard 20/20 testing. Our exams detect binocular vision disorders, visual processing issues, and neurological-related vision problems through specialized testing for eye tracking, teaming, focusing, and perceptual skills across all age groups.
Concussion Recovery
Specialized vision rehabilitation addresses post-concussion visual symptoms including double vision, dizziness, and reading difficulties. Our neuro-optometric approach treats traumatic brain injury effects through targeted therapy to restore visual processing, balance, and cognitive integration for improved daily functioning.
Pediatric Eye Care
Developmental vision exams identify and treat childhood vision disorders affecting learning and coordination. Our specialized care addresses amblyopia, strabismus, and visual processing delays through age-appropriate therapy techniques that improve reading skills, academic performance, and sports abilities in children.
