Understanding Vision Therapy at Shankar’s Eye Hospital
Vision therapy is a personalized treatment approach designed to correct amblyopia and other visual disorders by training both eyes to work in unison. Our programs may include exercises such as:
- Anti-suppression: To prevent the brain from ignoring the weaker eye.
- Accommodation exercises: To enhance focusing abilities.
- Fixation exercises: To maintain focus on a single target.
- Saccades: To improve rapid eye movement between targets.
- Pursuits: For smoother tracking of moving objects.
- Spatial skills development: For better hand-eye coordination.
- Stereopsis exercises: To enhance three-dimensional vision.
Our Vision Therapy Modalities
We don’t just stop at assessments. Our clinic also offers innovative treatments. For instance, we use activity computer games (dichoptic-based therapy) to address the visual needs of amblyopic patients.
- Active Vision Therapy: Engaging exercises using specialized equipment or everyday items to train binocular vision.
- Passive Vision Therapy: Devices that encourage the use of the weaker eye to strengthen visual processing.
- Computer-Based Vision Therapy: Innovative software programs designed to refine eye coordination and alignment.
