Our Vision Therapy Services
Our expert optometrists at Art of Optiks will guide you through a variety of exercises during your in-house appointments. Additionally, they will prescribe customized activities for you to practice at home, further enhancing the strength and functionality of your vision. Here’s a snapshot of the exercises you might engage in during your vision therapy sessions or at home.
Prism or Lens Fixation
In this exercise, you’ll be guided to view an object through various prisms or lenses that have different orientations. The aim of prism or lens fixation is to train your eyes to accurately perceive people and events at different distances. This not only improves your depth perception but also refines your visual accuracy, leading to a clearer, more focused vision.
Computer-Assisted Activities
Leveraging the power of technology, we provide a gamut of computer-assisted activities designed to challenge and enhance your visual abilities. These exercises stress on improving your vergence (eye coordination), accommodation (flexibility in focus), eye movements, and the processing of visual information. These virtual yet effective activities allow you to follow traditional vision therapy practices from the comfort of your own home.
Patching
For those grappling with amblyopia or ‘lazy eye,’ patching can be a game-changer. This technique involves reducing the signals from the dominant eye to stimulate engagement with the weaker one. By doing so, it fosters better visual balance and coordination between both eyes, enhancing overall visual function.
Vision Rest
Especially beneficial for individuals who spend long hours staring at computer screens, vision rest exercises are crucial. Our doctors recommend following the 20/20/20 rule: After every 20 minutes of screen time, rest your eyes for 20 seconds by looking at an object 20 feet away. This simple strategy helps alleviate eye strain and fatigue, potentially reducing headaches and focusing problems, thereby promoting healthier and more comfortable vision.
At Art of Optiks, we believe in continual improvement. That’s why our team not only provides supervised, in-house vision therapy but also empowers you with knowledge and exercises to continue your vision enhancement journey at home. This comprehensive approach ensures that you keep making steady progress towards better visual health, even between appointments.
