Arizona Vision Therapy Center, Amy Thomas, O.D. FCOVD Developmental Neurocognitive Optometrist. Helping Arizona see and think clearly. We love our job, and it shows. Come see for yourself.

Since 2009, we have helped numerous patients see more clearly and comfortably with careful attention to their specific needs. We have also successfully graduated over 250 patients from Vision Therapy who are now reading, writing, and learning more comfortably and enjoying life more thoroughly. The main reason that we go to work every day is to see the patients and hear of the new things that they are able to do that they thought were impossible before. Then we listen to their families and hear how much more peace there is at home and school. At Arizona Vision Therapy Center, our highly skilled optometrist, Amy Thomas, OD, FCOVD, and her team take great pride in offering every patient the absolute best in vision care.

Vision therapy works because it’s active training for your eyes and brain, not just covering one eye.
A randomized clinical trial found that children who combined vision therapy with patching made the greatest improvements in both clarity and depth perception.
Exercises that focus on:
✔️ Accommodation (focusing ability)
✔️ Eye movements
✔️ Central fixation
help strengthen the pathways between the eyes and brain for lasting results.

We love seeing our patients achieve measurable improvements and research backs it up!

A new study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience compared three treatments for amblyopia (lazy eye): patching alone, perceptual learning, and vision therapy combined with patching.
👁️ The results?
➡️ The greatest improvement in visual acuity and depth perception came from vision therapy + patching,
➡️ Followed by perceptual learning,
➡️ With patching alone showing the least improvement.

Active engagement matters, vision therapy goes beyond the patch to train the brain and the eyes to work together.

Our Sensory Learning Program (SLP) combines light, sound, and gentle motion to help the brain process information more efficiently.

It’s designed for children and adults who struggle with sensory processing, focus, balance, or visual challenges, supporting the nervous system’s ability to organize and respond to the world more calmly and effectively.

Sessions may look relaxing, but the brain is working hard behind the scenes!

✨ To learn more or see if sensory learning might be a fit for your child, give us a call or send a DM.

Recent research from the VisionHelp Group highlights something powerful:
👁️ Vision therapy is not “alternative care” — it’s a neuroscience-based rehabilitation approach supported by growing scientific evidence.

This landmark study underscores that neuro-optometric vision rehabilitation, performed by trained doctors of optometry, should be recognized as an evidence-based standard of care for patients experiencing post-concussive visual symptoms.

When incorporated early into concussion recovery protocols, vision therapy can help reduce chronic symptoms, improve reading and concentration, and support a faster return to learning, work, and sport.

At Arizona Vision Therapy, we’re proud to stay at the forefront of evidence-informed care for patients navigating the effects of visual dysfunction after concussion. 💙

📞 Call or DM us to learn more about neuro-optometric rehabilitation and how it may support concussion recovery.

Many concussion recovery plans still take a “wait and see” approach, assuming vision symptoms will go away on their own. But new research shows that delaying neuro-optometric treatment actually prolongs symptoms and slows recovery.

At Arizona Vision Therapy, we know that early referral for vision therapy leads to faster, more complete recovery. Convergence and accommodative dysfunction after concussion aren’t just mild or temporary, they’re real, measurable issues that respond best to targeted neuro-optometric care.

That’s why vision therapy is now recognized as an evidence-based standard of care for patients with post-concussive visual dysfunctions.

If you or someone you know is recovering from a concussion, don’t wait. Reach out today...we can help. 💙

Big news in vision science 👁️‍🗨️
A new randomized clinical trial just published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine confirms that office-based vision therapy (OBVAM) significantly accelerates recovery after concussion.

Patients who received OBVAM showed marked improvement in visual function and quality of life, while the control group had minimal spontaneous improvement — proving that targeted vision rehabilitation truly works.

✨ Vision therapy isn’t just effective — it’s evidence-based.

Just a reminder that SET Therapy (Structural Energetic Therapy) isn’t just for grown-ups…it’s incredible for kids, too! 🙌 We love seeing our younger patients thrive as their bodies and nervous systems get the alignment and balance they need to support vision therapy progress. These sessions go hand-in-hand to help the brain and body work together more efficiently. 💪✨ If you’ve been curious about how SET Therapy could benefit you or your child, give us a call or send us a DM, we’d love to share more about how it all works!

Your eyes don’t float in space — they live within a structure.
That’s why at Arizona Vision Therapy we use Structural Energetic Therapy (SET) as a powerful complement to vision rehabilitation.
SET helps release torsions, align your skull & body, and reduce hidden strain that interferes with visual coordination and comfort.
Over time this can support better posture, less tension, and more ease in how your visual system works.
Want to feel the difference? Book a consult or drop me a message to learn how SET fits into your therapy plan.

Vision therapy isn’t just eye exercises…it’s evidence-based treatment for the way your eyes and brain work together.
Multiple peer-reviewed studies (including those from the National Eye Institute and Mayo Clinic) show that office-based vision therapy with home practice is the most effective treatment for conditions like convergence insufficiency and lazy eye.
✨ Real science. Real results.

Have you noticed your child doing well in school one year… then suddenly struggling the next? 🤔

Parents and teachers often assume it’s a focus issue, lack of motivation, or even behavior. But sometimes, the real issue is vision.

👓 Kids with weak functional vision skills can often “get by” in the early grades. But when reading gets longer, print gets smaller, and assignments get harder, those struggles become harder to hide.

The good news? These problems are identifiable and treatable.
A Functional Vision Exam can reveal what standard screenings often miss — and with vision therapy, we can help your child regain confidence and succeed again.

✨ Take our Vision Quiz or schedule a consult to see if vision could be the missing piece.
