Structured programmes for eye movement, focusing and binocular vision difficulties, in clinic and at home.
Some difficulties with reading, screen work and concentration come not from the sharpness of vision but from how the two eyes coordinate. Vision therapy is a structured program aimed at those: convergence, accommodation, and the control of eye movements.
An orthoptic assessment measures how the eyes work together — the range over which they can converge and hold, how well focus is sustained and released, and how accurately the eyes track a line of text. The results decide whether therapy is appropriate and, if it is, what the program should target.
Not everyone who asks about vision therapy needs it. Where the assessment points somewhere else — an uncorrected prescription, a dry ocular surface, a need for a different kind of referral — we will say so.
The exercises that work are the ones that get done. If a routine is not fitting into the household’s week, the orthoptist would much rather change the routine than lose the program. Bring that to the review.
People whose eyes do not work together comfortably — convergence difficulty, focusing problems, or eye movement control that makes sustained reading hard. Assessment comes first; not everyone who asks about therapy needs it.
Programmes are set by the orthoptist after assessment and are reviewed at intervals. They usually combine in-clinic sessions with short daily exercises at home.
No. Adults are seen too, often after a period of intensive close work or following a change in circumstances. The exercises differ but the principle is the same.
Most home exercises use simple equipment supplied by the clinic. You will be shown how to do each one before you take it away.
Say so at the review. A program that does not fit into the week is better changed than abandoned, and the orthoptist would rather rework it than have you stop.
A full assessment of sight and eye health, with imaging, and time to talk through what the results mean.
Assessment, surgery and follow-up for cataract, with the same team from first appointment to final check.
A laser vision correction assessment that starts with whether the procedure is right for you at all.
