At Verona Eye Care Center, we believe clear vision is just one part of the puzzle. How well your eyes and brain work together is equally important to visual health. We offer vision therapy as a comprehensive, non-surgical solution to enhance eye coordination and treat various vision conditions.
What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a non-surgical, personalized program of vision exercises and activities. Unlike corrective lenses, which address how clearly you see, vision therapy improves the visual system. This significantly enhances your visual performance and overall quality of life.
How Vision Therapy Works
We customize vision therapy programs to each patient's unique needs. These programs involve a series of visual training exercises you can perform in the office and at home. These exercises:
- Strengthen Eye Muscles: It improves eye movement control and focusing ability through targeted activities.
- Enhance Eye Coordination: Various exercises promote better eye teaming, improving depth perception and other visual skills.
- Improve Visual Processing: Activities help the brain interpret visual information more accurately and efficiently.
Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is suitable for both children and adults. It's a targeted solution to achieve better visual health. This includes children with developmental vision problems and adults experiencing vision complications from injury.

Children often face unique visual challenges that can impact their ability to learn and perform in school. Vision therapy can address issues like:

Adults can also benefit from vision therapy, especially if they experience:
