FAQ

What is vision therapy?
Vision therapy is a personalized, doctor-guided treatment program designed to improve how the eyes and brain work together. It uses specific exercises and activities to strengthen visual skills such as eye tracking, focusing, coordination, and visual processing. Vision therapy is often compared to physical therapy—but for the visual system.
Who provides vision therapy?
Vision therapy is prescribed and overseen by an optometrist who has training in vision development and binocular vision. Therapy sessions are typically guided by trained vision therapy staff under the doctor’s supervision.
Is vision therapy only for children?
No. While vision therapy is commonly used for children, teens and adults can also benefit. Adults may pursue vision therapy for issues such as eye strain, headaches, double vision, difficulty reading, or visual challenges following a concussion or brain injury.
How long does vision therapy take?
The length of vision therapy varies based on the individual and their specific condition. Most programs last between 3 to 6 months, with weekly in-office sessions and home practice. Your doctor will discuss a customized treatment plan after a comprehensive evaluation.
What happens during a vision therapy session?
Each session includes guided visual activities and exercises tailored to the patient’s needs. These activities may involve lenses, prisms, balance tools, computer-based programs, and hands-on tasks. Sessions are designed to be engaging and supportive while gradually strengthening visual skills.
Is vision therapy covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage varies by provider and plan. Some plans may cover a portion of the evaluation or therapy services, while others may not. Please note that therapy sessions are cash-only, with block payment options available. Our team is happy to help review your benefits and discuss payment options prior to starting treatment.
Are the results permanent? ​​​​​​​
In most cases, yes. Vision therapy helps develop and strengthen visual skills, and once these skills are learned, they are typically retained. Consistency and completion of the recommended program are important to achieving long-lasting results.
