Vision therapy is a personalized program of exercises to train your eyes to move, partner, and focus better and to train your brain to better process visual information.
Optometric vision therapy is used to treat amblyopia (lazy eye), and it also can help improve control of strabismus (eye turn). At Brenart, we are excited to offer a home-based therapy program individualized to fit your unique needs. Call us today to learn more.
Optometric vision therapy develops the visual skills of eye movements, teaming, and focusing. It can also change how a patient processes or interprets visual information by improving visual spatial, visual analysis, and visual motor integration ability involved in learning. Learn More
Following a Comprehensive Eye Examination with dilation to ensure healthy eyes and proper glasses prescription, a separate Visual Efficiency Evaluation (VEE) is performed by the Optometrist. This more in-depth assessment provides a baseline measurement for visual skills to be addressed with therapy. After therapy has been prescribed by the Optometrist, a consultation appointment is scheduled with the Vision Therapist to prepare you for your home-based plan. This appointment is typically 1 to 1.5 hours in length. The weekly therapy prescribed is meant to be completed at home over the course of 8 to 12 weeks. Each therapy plan is individualized to fit the visual needs of each patient. Techniques may involve lenses, prisms, filters, patches, specialized vision therapy equipment, and computerized programs.
To help patients develop neural pathways and build visual skills, we use an array of cutting-edge tools and technologies:
King Devick Test and RAP
NeuroTracker
Vision Therapy Solutions (VTS4)

Specialized lenses, prisms, and traditional vision therapy equipment
