Vision Is More Than Just Sight

Vision is more than just reading letters on a chart—that’s visual acuity. While people often use the terms eyesight and vision interchangeably, vision refers to the interaction between the eyes and the brain. The visual system functions when the brain and the eyes work together as a team.

Children’s visual skills need to be learned and practiced. Without well-developed visual skills, your child might have a hard time learning, reading, and writing.

Your optometrist can work with you to create an individualized treatment plan for correcting your child’s unique vision conditions. You can get started on your treatment plan by booking an appointment for you or your child today.

What Vision Conditions Can Be Helped By Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy can be effective for conditions that aren’t treatable with glasses or contact lenses.

Optometry Vision Therapy

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

Strabismus (crossed eyes) is a muscle condition that most often affects children under the age of 6. When the eyes don’t align with one another, children may have blurry or double vision. They can also experience depth perception problems.

If left untreated, strabismus is not a condition that children outgrow. With regular comprehensive eye exams, strabismus can be detected early and will usually respond well to treatment.

If the brain and eyes aren’t working together properly, amblyopia (lazy eye) can occur. If the brain doesn’t recognize sight from one eye, it becomes more reliant on the stronger eye and the vision in the weaker eye gets continually worse.

Amblyopia might develop as a result of strabismus (crossed eyes) or if there is a large difference in prescription between the two eyes.

Behaviour in children that might indicate amblyopia includes squinting, head tilting, and shutting one eye.

Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in kids. Bringing your child for regular comprehensive eye exams can help protect their sight well into the future.

What Exactly Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is highly individualized, involving different activities and exercises that help retrain learned behaviours and improve vision.

While vision therapy is very helpful in correcting vision problems for kids, adults can also benefit from it. If your vision was never corrected as a child, you might be an adult with treatable vision issues.

It’s not too late to achieve better vision. Your optometrist can recommend an approach to help you get the vision you’ve always wanted, even if you’ve  been struggling with vision problems your whole life.

Get A Personalized Program Today

The length of treatment needed to correct vision issues varies according to each individual patient. Our LMC Optometrist will assess if your child can benefit from a personalized vision therapy program which is offered at our Richmond Hill location. Make an appointment with LMC Optometry and find out if vision therapy is right for you.

FAQs

Our optometrist at LMC can diagnose and manage conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and digital eye strain.

It’s recommended to have an eye exam in an eye clinic at least once every two years, or annually if you have existing eye conditions or risk factors.

For minor vision issues like 20/40 acuity, contacts are usually an effective choice for correction. Different lenses are available at LMC Optometry for different refractive errors.

Annual eye exams are completely covered by OHIP for children (19 and under) and seniors (65 and older). However, adults aged 20-64 must pay for routine eye exams themselves or use private insurance, as these exams are not covered by OHIP.

You can book an appointment online through the LMC Optometry website or by calling the specific location nearest to you.
