Vision Therapy in Virginia

Therapy for Visual Skills

We start developing visual skills in childhood, fine-tuning our skills as we grow. And, just as other skills are important for life, visual skills are crucial to almost everything we do.

The body is a complex system, with the brain working in tandem with other parts of the body to produce function and movement. If the brain and eyes don’t work together as a team, vision therapy may be needed to help correct this. Think of it as physiotherapy for the eyes.

Does My Child Need Vision Therapy?

Children’s learning and development rely on their visual skills. So, if they’re struggling in school, it may be a sign that there’s a vision issue at play.

The following issues may indicate that your child needs an appointment with an optometrist to discuss vision therapy:

• Poor reading comprehension
• Holding books close to the face while reading
• Short attention span with close-up tasks
• Losing or misplacing items
• Clumsiness and knocking things over
• Skipping or repeating lines while reading

If you notice any problems with your child’s learning, booking an appointment can help to rule out a vision condition.
