Conditions that Can Benefit from Vision Therapy

  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye):
    Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn't develop proper visual abilities, leading to reduced vision. Vision therapy can encourage the weaker eye to work more efficiently and strengthen its visual function.
  • Strabismus (Crossed Eyes):
    Strabismus affects eye alignment, and vision therapy can help train the eyes to work together correctly, helping restore binocular vision.
  • Convergence Insufficiency:
    Vision therapy exercises can improve convergence abilities for individuals who struggle with maintaining eye alignment for close-up tasks like reading.
  • Eye-Tracking Issues:
    Vision therapy can address difficulties in the smooth tracking of objects, making tasks like reading or following a moving target more manageable.
  • Visual Processing Disorders:
    Vision therapy can aid in improving the brain's processing of visual information, enhancing overall visual perception.
  • Post-Concussion Vision Problems:
    After a concussion, vision issues may arise, including double vision and tracking difficulties. Vision therapy can help regain visual function.
  • Visual Discomfort:
    Frequent headaches, eye strain, or discomfort during visual tasks can be alleviated through vision therapy.
  • Post-Stroke Vision Difficulties:
    Vision therapy can improve visual function after a stroke by addressing issues like blurred vision and depth perception.

When Should You Consider Vision Therapy?

  • Children Experiencing Reading Difficulties

    If reading difficulties affect your child’s academic performance, vision therapy can help by improving those visual skills crucial for reading and learning.

  • Headaches

    If you or a loved one experiences ongoing headaches due to vision problems, it might be a good time to explore the benefits of vision therapy.

  • Eye Focusing Problems

    Whether it's difficulty shifting focus between near and distant objects or sustaining focus, vision therapy can enhance the ability to focus correctly.

  • Post-Rehabilitation

    After medical or surgical treatment for a vision-related condition, vision therapy can help further enhance visual function and quality of life.

I received vision therapy here at Suburban eye care. My vision was good, but my visual processing w... as among the worst cases. I had trouble driving, especially at night among other symptoms. (Binocular Vision disorder and eye turn). I received weekly therapy and did eye exercises daily. I improved dramatically. I recommend Suburban EyeCare for vision therapy. If you do the exercises you can improve you visual processing. I don't fear falling and I can drive at night now among other results.

I had a great experience working with Suburban Eye care and Amanda in VT. Before starting eye therap... y, I had been struggling for a long time with a variety of issues, including dry eyes and headaches, all of which started after I had LASIK surgery. I saw multiple specialists, but nothing seemed to help. After starting eye therapy, the results were truly transformative. One of the biggest changes for me has been my dry eyes. I used to have to use eye drops every 30 minutes, but because of the eye therapy, I haven’t needed to use them at all! The reduction in my headaches has been another huge improvement. I’m also amazed at how much my visual memory has improved, which I never expected to be related to my vision issues. The staff at this center is knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. They do a great job at helping you understand the “why” behind the exercises and tailor activities to meet you where you’re at to ultimately reach your goals. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and would highly recommend this therapy to anyone struggling with similar issues.

High quality, thorough eye exams. Dr. Smith is excellent. Staff are excellent. Very accommodatin... g appointments. They've helped me with exams, glasses and occasional eye pain issues caused by foreign objects. I read another comment you can't get exams here and then take the script to Costco. I've done that, no problem. They were perfectly ok with that. One of a few places that offered vision therapy if you need that.

This was my first time here. Needed new prescription glasses. The whole staff were amazingly friend... ly and courteous. I saw Dr Yousif, very professional and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this facility. Great prices for eyeglasses and contacts.

I see Dr. Arnold in this office. He's super patient and very knowledgeable, as is everyone I've inte... racted with here. Everyone is kind and willing to help. Dr. Arnold has also gone above and beyond, as far as I'm concerned. I was overthinking the eye exam (which is better, 1 or 2) and was struggling to get the proper prescription. Dr. Arnold helped by asking new questions and trying new methods to help in ways that worked better for my brain. I definitely appreciate all he has done, as well as all the staff, for making going to Suburban Eye Care a great experience.

We are so happy we decided to enroll our daughter in vision therapy. Before starting the program, s... he struggled with reading. Even with support from her teachers and school interventionist, her fluency remained slow. Since completing the program, we've seen tremendous improvement in her test scores, reading level, and—most importantly—her confidence. The therapy addressed not only eye tracking but also other essential skills that have helped her feel more successful in school. I highly recommend this program to any parent, and I especially recommend Suburban Eye Care. The team was responsive to all of my emails, questions, and concerns throughout the process. The program itself was engaging and hands-on, and the staff made it truly enjoyable. My daughter always looked forward to her sessions and never wanted to leave—they made learning fun! We are forever grateful for the growth and success our daughter has experienced.

Amazing place to do Vision Therapy! My 10 year old daughter was here for 9 months and her improvemen... ts were amazing. She loved her vision therapists and can also see her work has helped her in school and everyday life.

After a head injury, I was experiencing vision problems for about 10 years. My vision was blurry and... looked almost like a vhs recording or an old CRT TV. It was incredibly difficult to read, especially on screens, and I frequently became dizzy, anxious, and nauseated. I had panic attacks randomly and felt off balance and dissociated all the time. I also had severe TMJ and neck pain. I saw several doctors (including eye doctors, neurologists, ENTs and Psychiatrists) and received many different treatments including sinus surgery, TMJ botox, and several different anxiety medications. Unfortunately, none of these really had an impact, and my symptoms persisted. Other eye doctors I saw said my eyes were dry from allergies and all my routine eye exams were normal. It wasn't until I was screened for vision dysfuntion by Dr. Smith that I learned that it was not just anxiety or allergies and I had vision problems that could be treated through vision therapy. Dr. Smith and Ms. Amanda were incredibly caring and skilled, and after completing a 4 month VT program, I no longer suffer from any of my previous symptoms. My life has changed completely, and it's amazing to go through a work day without dry heaving or having a panic attack. It was also nice that all of the activities for VT were similar to games, and there were no pills or surgeries involved. I was a little sceptical of the light bed therapy, but once I started the light bed sessions I was amazed how effective it was for reducing my nausea and managing my sensory issues. I can't recommend VT highly enough!!!

Wow. This was my second visit to Suburban EyeCare and I am beyond happy that I have chosen them to b... e my eye care provider. Every member of their team with whom I interacted was professional, polite, helpful and kind, in a very sincere and genuine way. I have been to numerous eye care providers over the years and Suburban EyeCare is by far the best. Thank you to my friend Jack E for the initial referral last summer - he told me they were great, and he was 100% correct.
