Vision Therapy

Some visual conditions cannot be treated adequately with just glasses, contact lenses and/or patching, and are best resolved through a program of Vision Therapy. Vision Therapy is an individualized, supervised treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and/or perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Vision Therapy sessions include procedures designed to enhance the brain's ability to control the following abilities and processes: eye alignment eye tracking and eye teaming eye focusing abilities eye movements, and/or visual processing depth perception visual memory visual thinking peripheral vision eye/hand coordination gross and fine motor skills Visual-motor skills and endurance are developed through the use of specialized computer and optical devices, including therapeutic lenses, prisms, and filters. During the final ...

Dr. Cummings

Hi, I’m Dr. Randy Cummings. I have been practicing general and behavioral optometry for 28 years, and am now dividing my time between two practices, with one focusing on general optometry (eye and vision exams, glasses, contact lenses, etc.), and one offering services related to a more specialized behavioral optometry. You may not have heard of behavioral optometry. Let me explain. A behavioral optometrist does not think of vision as an eye function but rather as a brain and mind function. A person may have 20/20 eyesight and still have poor vision. By that I mean that he is not ...

Learning Disabilities and Difficulties

Are you aware that many types of learning disabilities can helped and, in some cases, completely resolved through a course of vision therapy? And we have even better news: typically, kids really enjoy vision therapy. Kids like working on the frustrating and sometimes embarrassing problems from which they suffer. Therapy often involves lots of games that not only help the eyesight but are fun and challenging as well. Below is a list of common learning disabilities that may be related to vision. We also offer in-services at local and regional schools for teacher education. Dyslexia ADD/ADHD Aspergers Syndrome Autism Slow Reading/Poor Reading Comprehension Lazy Eye (Ambliopia) Crossed Eye/Outurned ...

Sports Vision

Did you know that some professional sporting organizations have Vision Therapists on staff to train their highly skilled athletes right up to their eyeballs? Vision Therapy helps with eye/hand coordination, timing, depth perception, tracking, and other vision related processes that have a dramatic effect on sports performance. Getting to the next level requires training--often hard training--and your eyes need training too. So help your kids kick up to the next level with vision therapy. Sports Benefits: Passing/shooting aim (depth perception and eye/hand coordination) Improved defensive and offensive awareness (peripheral vision) Quick reaction time (eye hand/coordination) Improved hitting in baseball (tracking and depth perception) Improved fielding (tracking ...

Vision Therapy and Behavioral Optometry

20/20 vision is the ability to identify small objects at 20 feet and beyond. It's a great skill for buffalo hunters and fighter pilots but tells us little about your child's ability to use his vision at a reading distance. As a Behavioral Optometrist, I diagnose and treat vision-related learning problems. If your child struggles with reading or learning problems, has been labeled as dyslexic, autistic, or hyperactive, or is said to suffer from ADD, we can help! Our programs offer children of all ages an opportunity to become more successful students. Adults who are plagued by long standing learning difficulties can also be evaluated and realize enormous benefits from our one-on-one instruction.

Fun and Games

Vision therapy is fun. Many of the exercises are closely related to balance and coordination. That means that the challenge is very tactile, and patients will work on different types of coordination, including those related to sports and other physical activities.

Vision vs. Eyesight

You may not immediately see the subject of the photograph to the right because the seemingly meaningless blobs of light require more than sharp eyesight. It's a little like a kid who can't read: he can see the letters and words just fine, but he doesn't understand what he sees. Similarly, you can see this picture clearly, but you may not be able to understand it. We call the understanding of what is seen "vision." Give us a call if you just can't figure out what it is.
