VISION THERAPY
Experience more than just 20/20 vision.
Vision therapy is a customized rehabilitative program to address visual challenges in patients of all ages. Therapy is not “eye exercise”, but an active training program for the eyes and brain to work better together.
Vision therapy is an effective solution for conditions such as:
-
Amblyopia (lazy eye)
-
Strabismus (eye turn)
-
Headaches and eyestrain
-
Brain injuries (concussion, stroke)
-
Dizziness and vertigo
-
Vision-related learning challenges
Our vision therapy program provided by Dr. Bilkhu includes an extensive visual skills assessment, a thorough summary report with accommodations for school or work, and regular progress checks to ensure patients are meeting their visual goals.
