Does vision therapy help?

The list below contains some of the reasons why you should consider vision therapy for your child:

• Treatment for vision related learning problems
• Visual skills can be developed until they become automatic and integrated with other visual as well as cognitive skills
• Benefits of VT, which include improved visual information processing and sustained visual function over time, are as applicable to the child in the classroom as they are to the adult using a computer or reading a book
• According to the American Optometric Association, 35-40% of all children with learning disabilities have visual problems

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD? This diagnosis overlaps with many visual-related learning problems!

• Symptoms for ADD/ADHD same as many vision problems.
• Vision therapy has been found to help manage many of the symptoms associated with ADD/ADHD.

Considered using Sports Vision Training for a Competitive Edge?

• AEC has a sports VT regimen to help you perform at your optimum (known to improve coordination, concentration, accuracy, and balance).
• Optometric vision therapy can improve visual function much like physical therapy can improve general motor function.
• Strong visual skills are critical to sports success.

Eric Sogard – Professional Baseball second baseman and shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball. Previously, Eric played for the Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Eric was gracious enough to allow us to take a picture with a bat and baseball he gifted us years ago, when he was with the Milwaukee Brewers. Eric has been instrumental in encouraging our young patients to continue Vision Therapy. He recently gave a baseball card to one of our VT patients whose family drives here from Tucson ( 2 hour drive one way). Eric is so down to earth, he posed with the thank you card he received from this same VT patient. At one of Eric’s visits to our office, he met with another of our VT patients whose performance in sports was being affected by visual disturbances.

We have wonderful patients!
