Vision Therapy

---

Vision is more than seeing clearly, it's how the eye's and brain work together. When that system isn't working well, reading, focusing, and everyday tasks can become difficult. Vision Therapy helps strengthen these skills through personalized, doctor-guided treatment.

Vision therapy is a customized program designed to improve:

• Eye tracking
• Focusing and convergence
• Visual processing
• Eye-hand coordination
• Depth perception

These skills are essential for learning, reading, and comfortable vision.

Every program begins with a developmental vision evaluation. From there, Dr. Ballinger creates a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's specific visual needs. Therapy is structured in units of eight sessions. After each unit, patients are evaluated by Dr. Ballinger for a progress evaluation. During this visit, the doctor review improvements, updates goals, and determines whether another eight-session unit is recommended. The total number of units varies depending on each patient's case and how their visual system responds to therapy. Sessions are completed weekly with a trained Vision Therapist and may be done in-office or through secure Zoom, offering flexibility for both students and adults.

Vision Therapy sessions are active, engaging, and tailored to each patient's needs. During weekly appointments, your Vision Therapist will guide you through targeted activities that strengthen visual skills such as tracking, focusing, eye teaming, and visual processing. These may include hands-on tools, digital programs, virtual reality activities, balance work, and coordination exercises. Each session builds on the last, with clear goals and measurable progress. Patients also receive simple at-home activities to reinforce what they are learning. Whether sessions are in-office or on Zoom, therapy is designed to be supportive, encouraging, and paced for success.
