This therapy is progressive and involves the use of various procedures and exercises that are performed at home on a computer/tablet. This type of therapy requires motivation and self-discipline. This requires a minimum 24-week commitment with progress evaluations at week 6, week 12, and week 24. Homework assignments are to be completed 5 days a week and typically take about 20 minutes.
Neurolenses®
Neurolenses® are the world’s first and only prescription lenses that add a contoured prism to treat the headaches, neck/shoulder pain and eyestrain caused by use of digital devices, reading or doing detail work.
Patching/Occlusion Therapy
By putting a patch over the better seeing eye the child’s brain is forced to “recognize” the image from the amblyopic (lazy) eye. This stimulates the development of nerve pathways between the amblyopic eye and the brain, so improving the vision in this eye.
