Vision Therapy | Sydney
Vision Therapy is a kind of therapy tailored to the individual, completed under supervision, with the aim of correcting visual motor and/or visual perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Vision therapy can aid with
- Focusing elasticity and preservation
- Use of the two eyes in tandem
- Efficiency of eye movement, for all activities
- Visual skills essential for the development of reading skills
- Spatial skills that underlie maths
- Eye-hand reaction time
- Sequencing skills
- Integration of vision with auditory and motor systems
- Sport specific visual skills
Our in-office vision therapy usually runs over a period of sixteen weeks. We offer a home-based therapy for your convenience. Our vision therapy program in Sydney is designed to build the visual skills necessary for efficient reading.
Developmental Optometrist In Sydney
Visual-motor skills and endurance are developed through the use of specialised computer and optical devices, including therapeutic lenses, prisms and filters. During the final stages of our vision training programs, the patient’s newly acquired visual skills are reinforced and made automatic through repetition and by integration with motor and cognitive skills.
The necessary ingredients for success in such a program are:
- Spatial Awareness: to train the vision system to lead efficient movement through space
- Motor Planning: to ensure that movement is efficient and directed
- Sequence: to incorporate the concept that each movement is discrete and meaningful in context
- Cognitive Load or Dual Processing: to develop each skill to a level where it becomes automatic
- Visual Analysis: to develop selective visual attention
