Vision Therapy are special exercises that are tailored to the particular needs of the patient. The goal of these exercises is to teach the brain and the eyes to work together more effectively. Our Optometrists are members of the premier Vision Therapy organization the College Of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) and Neuro Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA).
We also provide eye exams for special needs patients.

The ability to visualize the trajectory of an object in movement.
University of California Riverside increased batting averages by 30% after 24 sessions of Sports Vision training.
Is Sports Vision Therapy for amateur or professional athletes? Does it help athletes with perfect vision?
We assume that if we do not need glasses or contact lenses our vision is perfect. And while we may recognize the important role vision has in athletic success, we think “our vision is great”. The reality is that we all have elements of our visual system that can use improvement. A person with 2020 may still need to improve in their ability to track a fast moving object or to improve spatial recognition. The other thing many people assume is that sports vision therapy is only for professional athletes. While it is true that professional athletes do a lot of vision therapy, there is much to gain for all levels of competitions. The ability to play better improves the athletes self confidence and acceptance, and shows the true potential of the athlete.
The Research About Sports Vision Therapy
University of Cincinnati baseball team demonstrated a team wide improvement in all training metrics of at least 10% after six weeks of vision training. The batting average for the whole team went up 34 points from the previous season, which far exceeded the improvements of other N.C.A.A. teams.
How Long is the training?
Sports Vision therapy is like any other form of therapy, the amount of months needed is dependent on the progress of the patient. Older more motivated patients tend to reach the desired results quickly by being extra diligent to do the at-home exercises. The vision training will be built around your comprehensive developmental eye exam, which will ascertain what areas are in need of improvement.
