Lyons Family Eye Care is a comprehensive eye care practice specializing in Vision Therapy and Pediat What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised, non-surgical and customized program of vision based therapeutic procedures designed to correct various vision problems and/or improve visual skills. Unlike eyeglasses and contact lenses, which simply compensate for vision problems, or eye surgery that alters the anatomy of the eye or surrounding muscles, vision therapy aims to “teach” the visual system to correct itself. Vision therapy is like physical therapy for the entire visual system, including the eyes and the parts of the brain that control vision. Vision therapy can include the use of lenses, prisms, filters, computerized visual activities and non-computerized viewing instruments. Non-medical “tools,” such as balls, balance boards, metronomes and other devices can also play an important role in a customized vision therapy program. Overall, the goal of vision therapy is to treat vision problems that cannot be treated successfully with eyeglasses, contact lenses and/or surgery alone, and help people achieve clear, comfortable binocular vision. Many studies have shown that vision therapy can correct vision problems that interfere with efficient reading among school children. It also can help reduce eyestrain and other symptoms of computer vision syndrome experienced by many children and adults.

Lyons Family Eye Care offers many services including vision therapy for all, including those with traumatic brain injury and concussion.

This latest study supports vision therapy for those with concussion.

Vision therapy yields faster recovery from concussion-related eye condition

Study overturns “wait and see” approach, showing office-based treatment improves convergence insufficiency outcomes.

The CONCUSS randomised clinical trial compared the effectiveness of immediate office-based vergence/accommodative therapy with movement (OBVAM) to delayed therapy for the treatment of concussion-related convergence insufficiency.

The study provides the first high-quality evidence that concussion-related vision problems can be effectively treated with office-based vision therapy, says the author, an AOA member.

The authors recommend considering OBVAM as soon as it is evident that a concussion-related convergence insufficiency is diagnosed.

Original research

CONCUSS randomized clinical trial of vergence/accommodative therapy for concussion-related symptomatic convergence insufficiency

Conclusion OBVAM therapy is effective in improving the near point of convergence, positive fusional vergence and symptoms in CONC-CI. Immediate initiation of office-based vergence/accommodative therapy with movement (OBVAM) compared with delayed initiation shortens the period of symptoms experienced and fosters an earlier return to activities.

Lyons Family Eye Care have InfantSee doctors. Call, Let us know this is for an InfantSee evaluation and we'll make an appointment.

A no-cost eye assessment is important for your infant because undetected and untreated eye and vision disorders, such as amblyopia and strabismus, too often become barriers to learning, leading to delayed reading and poorer outcomes in school.

In-person comprehensive eye exams provided by a doctor of optometry are essential and thoroughly effective at identifying and ensuring early treatment for the range of vision and eye health issues that can impact a child's development and learning abilities.

Get the kids outside to play! Reduce the need for glasses!!!

Could sunshine be the answer to a looming eye health epidemic? Rates of nearsightedness, or myopia, are skyrocketing, and researchers say it has to do with a lack of time spent outdoors. This Earth Day, head outside with your kids to protect their vision and schedule annual in-person exams to detect conditions like myopia early here: https://bit.ly/4jBP7Ra
