Vision Therapy for Adults
At Opto-mization NeuroVisual Performance, our vision therapy program for adults helps the brain and eyes communicate better, which improves visual skills that are essential for reading, typing, presenting, and succeeding in the workplace. In the fast-paced world of work, it takes more than just clear vision to thrive. Good visual skills are necessary for performing tasks that require sustained concentration and accuracy. Eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and trouble paying attention are symptoms of visual problems that can affect your performance and add stress to your professional life. With vision therapy, you can improve your visual skills and succeed at your job.
What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy involves a combination of activities and exercises that help the brain and eyes work together more effectively. This improves visual skills such as visual processing speed, eye-tracking, hand-eye coordination, focus, balance, and more.

Who Can Benefit From Vision Therapy?
People with the following symptoms can benefit from vision therapy:
- Focusing issues
- Eye fatigue
- Double vision
- Convergence Insufficiency
- History of traumatic brain injury
- Anyone seeking to improve office performance or productivity
- Frequent headaches or dizziness
- Digital eye strain
Don’t overlook the signs. If you’re experiencing the following, you may have an underlying visual problem:
- Lazy eye or cross-eye
- Difficulty reading
- Difficulty staying focused
- Poor hand-eye coordination
- Constant squinting/head tilting
- Favoring one eye over the other
- Headaches or fatigue after reading or computer work
Vision therapy includes the use of tools and techniques, such as lenses, prisms, filters, and occluders, to enhance visual skills and processing abilities. Technology also allows patients to do home-based vision therapy exercises on the computer, which offers convenience.
Weekly 45-minute in-office appointments, complemented by 15 minutes of tailored daily exercises, are typically part of a vision therapy program. The length of your treatment depends on your eye health, your goals, how severe your visual problems are, and how consistent you are with your exercises. At Opto-mization NeuroVisual Performance, we’ll tailor and personalize a program to your specific needs.
Follow-up appointments are necessary for monitoring improvements and achieving the best possible results.
The aim is to enhance functionality, so remember that recovery and success can look different for different people.
Some adults experience noticeable improvements relatively quickly, while others only achieve results in up to six months or longer. This can be influenced by the patient’s condition, their customized therapy regimen, and how committed they are.
Age isn’t an obstacle when it comes to vision improvement. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to be adaptable, meaning the more you practice certain visual skills, the better your visual function will become, whether young or old.
