High Quality Vision Therapy Services
Vision therapy includes a variety of coordination and training exercises for your eyes and brain. Vision therapy is not designed to strengthen your eye muscles, since they are generally very strong on their own. What vision therapy is, is a type of physical therapy for the eye-brain team, getting them to work together better to solve your seeing difficulty. Vision therapy involves a variety of different visual exercises to improve control of your eyes so you can have clear, comfortable binocular vision. Vision therapy has been shown to succeed best when done both in office and at home. Vision therapy can help resolve many types of visual related learning problems that are holding you or your child back. Some examples of what we use in vision therapy include but are not limited to: Eye patches; Corrective lenses, (including glasses and/or contact lenses); Special prism lenses; Vision exercises both in-office and at home; Vestibular devices (balance boards); and Specialized computer programs.
Vision therapy has been proven to be successful by improving a person's ability to receive and process visual information. First, you will learn to feel and be aware of what eyes are doing and what your brain 'sees'. Next you will learn to control and then master the performance of your visual skills. Finally your visual system will be so proficient that it will perform automatically allowing you to concentrate on what you see, not struggle and be distracted by how you see. Many visual problems can be solved through the use of these vision therapy techniques. Even if you have previously been told that your condition is untreatable, or that you will have to learn to live with your condition, you can learn to overcome them. We are here to help you get there.

"We use Anderson Optometry for all of our family’s vision needs. Recently, we had to have our youngest fitted for new glasses and he made the experience fun for her and informative for us.

"Dr. Anderson and his staff are so patient and friendly. Dr. Anderson prescribed me glasses and I had the toughest time picking out frames.
