Pediatric Vision Therapy

At Focal Point Vision, we understand that children’s vision goes beyond seeing clearly—it involves how their eyes and brain work together to process visual information. Pediatric vision therapy is a personalized treatment program designed to help children improve their visual skills, especially if they are struggling with eye coordination, focus or visual processing issues. By addressing these challenges early, we can help children succeed not only in school but also in their everyday lives.

Our pediatric vision therapy programs are tailored to each child’s specific needs, offering a fun, engaging and effective way to strengthen their visual abilities. Below are the key aspects of our pediatric vision therapy services:

What Is Pediatric Vision Therapy?
Pediatric vision therapy is a series of guided exercises and activities that help children improve how their eyes work together and how their brain processes visual information. It’s designed to treat common vision problems that can affect learning, reading, and concentration. Conditions such as convergence insufficiency (difficulty focusing on close objects), amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes) can all be addressed with vision therapy, helping children overcome these challenges and perform better in school and daily activities.

Comprehensive Visual Assessment
Before beginning therapy, we conduct a thorough visual assessment to identify any issues with eye movement, focus, and coordination. This assessment helps us create a customized vision therapy plan tailored to your child’s specific needs, ensuring they receive the most effective care.

Develop Strong Visual Skills

Customized Vision Therapy Program
Based on the results of the assessment, we’ll design a vision therapy program that targets the areas where your child needs improvement. This program may include activities that:

• Improve eye tracking: Strengthening the ability to follow moving objects smoothly, which is essential for reading and sports.
• Enhance focus and flexibility: Helping the eyes shift focus between near and far objects with ease, reducing strain and improving reading ability.
• Eye teaming (binocular vision): Teaching the eyes to work together more effectively, which is crucial for tasks requiring depth perception and avoiding double vision.

Treatment for Learning-Related Vision Problems
For children who struggle with reading or concentrating in school, vision therapy can be a game changer. Many children with learning difficulties have undiagnosed vision problems that affect their ability to process visual information. Vision therapy helps improve visual processing, making it easier for your child to read, write and focus in the classroom.

Therapy for Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) and Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
Children with amblyopia or strabismus can benefit greatly from vision therapy. Rather than relying solely on patching, vision therapy retrains the brain and eyes to work together, helping to correct these conditions and improve overall vision. This non-invasive approach is often more effective in the long term, helping your child develop strong, balanced visual skills.

Building Confidence in School and Daily Life
Vision therapy isn’t just about improving eyesight—it’s about giving your child the confidence to succeed. By strengthening their visual skills, we help children perform better in school, sports and other activities that require good vision. Whether it’s improving their ability to focus on the board or follow a ball during a game, vision therapy can make a big difference in your child’s life.

Pediatric vision therapy offers a proven, personalized approach to helping children overcome vision challenges and develop strong visual skills. If your child struggles with reading, focus or has been diagnosed with a condition like amblyopia or strabismus, our tailored vision therapy programs can help.
