The Studt Center for Vision Therapy specializes in complete diagnostic and therapeutic care for children and adults with vision problems, ranging from eye tracking, eye teaming and eye focusing disorders (Visual Efficiency Evaluation), strabismus and amblyopia (Strabismus/Amblyopia Evaluation) to learning-related vision problems (Visual Information Processing Evaluation). The Center also features specialty care of acquired brain injury related vision problems, computer related vision problems, and sports vision.
The Studt Center for Vision Therapy is recognized as a regional referral center for children and adults with vision problems. We receive referrals from a broad source, including optometrists, physicians, psychologists, educators, and rehabilitation professionals.
What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a sequence of therapy procedures that are individually prescribed and monitored by the doctor to develop efficient visual skills and visual processing. Vision therapy is prescribed following a comprehensive evaluation of the visual system (visual efficiency evaluation, strabismus and amblyopia evaluation, visual information processing evaluation) that has indicated that a program of vision therapy is an appropriate treatment option. The vision therapy program is based on the results of standardized tests, the patient’s specific signs and symptoms and the needs of the patient. The use of lenses, prisms, filters, occluders, specialized instruments and computer programs is an integral part of vision therapy.
Typically, vision therapy is administered as a combination of in-office visits combined with prescribed, daily, home-vision therapy procedures. The in-office therapy is designed to make the patient aware of his or her visual deficiencies under controlled conditions. Then by a feedback process the patient is taught strategies to improve visual performance. Home therapy is directed at practicing the newly learned visual skills until the initial conscious effort becomes automatic.
