The Foundation of Vision Therapy: How Does it Work?

Vision therapy is built upon the principle of neuroplasticity, which refers to the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself in response to new experiences and learning. This concept has been extensively studied, and it has been demonstrated that the visual system is not static but can be modified through targeted exercises and activities.

Children, in particular, have experienced notable benefits from vision therapy, especially those grappling with learning and focus challenges. These young minds are at a critical stage of development, where visual skills play a fundamental role in their academic progress and everyday activities.

Vision therapy offers tailored interventions that target specific visual difficulties, helping children overcome obstacles that may hinder their learning and concentration.


Key Research Findings in Support of Vision Therapy

Numerous scientific studies and clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of vision therapy in addressing visual challenges. Here are some key research findings:

  • Convergence Insufficiency (CI)

    Research published by The Cochrane Collaboration found vision therapy highly effective for treating convergence insufficiency. This condition causes the eyes to have difficulty working together when focused on nearby objects.

  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

    The Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG) conducted research showing that vision therapy, combined with atropine eye drops, can significantly improve vision in children with amblyopia.

  • Eye-Tracking Disorders:

    Studies have demonstrated that vision therapy can effectively address eye-tracking problems, enhancing the ability to follow moving objects and improving reading skills.

  • Post-Concussion Vision Problems

    Research has shown that vision therapy can help individuals recover from post-traumatic brain injury-related vision problems, including double vision and tracking difficulties.


An Individualized Approach with Trinity EyeCare

One of the strengths of vision therapy lies in its individualized approach. Each therapy program is customized to address the specific needs and challenges of the patient. This tailored approach is supported by research, which has consistently shown that personalized vision therapy yields more positive outcomes.

This sounds crazy, but Dr. Pang and his staff seriously changed my life for the better. Went in for ... a routine exam. Dr. Pang was so thorough, he realized I had a condition that would be greatly improved by prism glasses. I had no idea so many of the physical challenges I was experiencing were a result of my vision. Cannot thank them enough. The world would be a different place if all doctors were this caring and thorough.

Dr Youngblood spent a lot of time with us and even followed up with my son after the weekend to see ... how he was doing. We are very grateful for her time and attention to detail. He is doing much better thanks to her exam and expertise. The office staff was wonderful and really worked with us to find an appointment that worked for everyone. The staff member who helped us with our prescription and insurance options after the appointment was very knowledgeable and friendly. We are so impressed - thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr. Peng for 5 years. Having never worn glasses before, the process seemed ... daunting. I came to Trinity with mysterious vertigo no other doctor could address. Dr. Peng diagnosed me and soon my life became clear again! The staff at Trinity made my transition to wearing glasses smooth through their patience and kindness. Dr. Peng is unwavering in his dedication to his patients. His expertise is unmatched. Personalized service from people who obviously care and love their craft is rare today. Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment at Trinity.

I have been a patient at Trinity Eye Care for about 20 years now -- my first visit was when I was 5,... and now I'm 26! Throughout all of my visits, everyone has been so kind, attentive and just all-around helpful. This is the only place where I've gotten my night/hard contacts, day/soft contacts and glasses (prescription and blue-light). Even though I now live in another city, I still visit Plano for my annual checkups. Moreover, my parents are also still patients! I don't foresee switching providers... ever. ◡̈
