What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment designed to improve visual skills and abilities. Unlike glasses or contacts, which compensate for refractive error, vision therapy acts as "physical therapy for the eyes and brain."

How It Works

Through a series of tailored activities and exercises, our optometrists in Kirkland, WA help patients develop or improve visual skills such as eye movement control, focusing ability, and binocular vision (the ability of the eyes to work together as a team).

Who Can Benefit?

• Children struggling with reading or learning disabilities related to vision.
• Adults experiencing eye strain, double vision, or headaches.
• Patients rehabbing from traumatic brain injuries or strokes.
• Individuals with strabismus (crossed eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye).

The neuroplasticity of the brain allows for significant improvement in visual function at any age. During your consultation at Colonial Optical LLC, we will perform a comprehensive assessment to determine if a personalized vision therapy program is right for you or your child.
