Vision Therapy
Enhancing the Connection Between Your Eyes and Brain
Optometric Vision Therapy is a customized program designed to retrain the visual system to function more efficiently. It’s not just about seeing clearly — it’s about how well your eyes work together to support reading, learning, attention, and daily tasks.
Vision therapy helps improve:
Eye focusing
Eye tracking
Eye teaming
Eye-hand coordination
Visual perceptual skills
These visual abilities are essential for success in school, sports, and beyond — especially for children who may be struggling with vision-related learning problems.
Step 1: Comprehensive Eye Exam
If vision-related learning difficulties are suspected, the first step is a comprehensive eye exam with either of our doctors.
In addition to checking eyesight and eye health, this exam includes evaluation of:
Eye tracking and eye teaming
Focusing ability
Learning behaviors and challenges, discussed with the patient and parent/guardian
This exam ensures we rule out or identify any foundational visual concerns before moving forward.
Step 2: Visual Efficiency Exam
If concerns are found, the next step is a Visual Efficiency Exam — a more in-depth evaluation of how the brain and eyes work together.
This exam tests:
Eye-hand coordination
Body awareness and laterality
Letter/number directionality
Visual perception and processing
Handwriting and fine motor skills
The exam typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the patient’s age and abilities.
Step 3: Custom Vision Therapy Plan
If the results show that vision therapy would benefit your child (or you), we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. Most programs include 20 to 40 in-office sessions, supported by home-based therapy for lasting results.
Our goal is to improve the function of the visual system — giving patients the tools they need to read, learn, and perform with confidence.
Insurance & Billing
Falls Vision Therapy is operated as a separate business from Falls Family Eye Care to ensure clear and appropriate billing.
Your comprehensive eye exam will be billed through Falls Family Eye Care and submitted to your insurance.
