Do you ever work with patients and feel like you’ve hit a roadblock or plateau, unsure what else you can do to help them progress?
In many cases, the missing piece may be vision.
While school vision screenings are helpful, they only evaluate a very small portion of the visual system. In fact, only about 4% of what’s tested in a comprehensive eye exam is covered in a school screening. A comprehensive eye exam goes much deeper—assessing not only eyesight, but also how efficiently the visual system works, including eye teaming, tracking, focusing, and overall visual processing.
Many children and patients struggle because their visual system isn’t functioning as efficiently as it could. These inefficiencies can limit progress and make other therapies less effective. Through specialized testing, we can determine whether further intervention—such as vision therapy—is needed.
Vision therapy is similar to OT, PT, and speech therapy, involving structured in-office visits paired with guided home activities to improve the overall functionality of the visual system. When vision therapy is integrated, other therapies like OT and PT often progress more quickly and effectively because all systems are finally working together.
If you’re seeing stalled progress with your patients, it may be time to look deeper into the visual system.
