Definition Of Vision Therapy “Vision Therapy is a treatment process used to improve vision function. It includes a broad range of developmental and rehabilitative treatment programs individually prescribed to remediate specific sensory, motor and /or visual perceptual dysfunctions. Vision therapy involves active participation of the patient, under the direction of a Doctor of Optometry, in a sequence of controlled procedures to modify these functions of the vision system. Therapeutic lenses, prisms, filters, occlusion and specialized equipment are used in the treatment process. Vision therapy may be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment. Vision conditions commonly treated with vision therapy include amblyopia, strabismus, nonstrabismic binocular disorders, ocular motor dysfunctions, accommodative dysfunctions, visual motor disorders, and visual information processing/perceptual disorders.”
