Vision Therapy in Sherman Oaks

Vision Therapy in Sherman Oaks

Vision therapy is a structured, individualized program designed to improve how the eyes and brain work together. At RevitalEyes Optometry, our California-licensed optometrists evaluate visual skills such as eye teaming, focusing, and tracking to determine whether a vision therapy plan may be appropriate for your goals and symptoms.

Who Vision Therapy May Help

You may benefit from a vision therapy evaluation if you or your child experience:

• Reading discomfort (eye strain, fatigue, or headaches with near work)
• Losing place while reading, skipping lines, or slow reading speed
• Difficulty focusing, intermittent blur, or slow refocusing from near to far
• Double vision (intermittent) or eyes that feel like they “don’t work together”
• Reduced attention for near tasks due to visual effort or discomfort
• Sports/coordination challenges related to tracking, depth perception, or reaction time

Common Vision Conditions Addressed

Depending on your exam findings, vision therapy may be recommended for certain binocular vision or visual skills conditions, such as:

• Convergence insufficiency (difficulty keeping eyes aligned up close)
• Accommodative dysfunction (focusing problems)
• Eye tracking difficulties (saccades/pursuits) affecting reading efficiency
• Visual processing or integration challenges (when clinically indicated)

Vision Therapy Evaluation

A vision therapy consultation begins with a comprehensive eye exam and a functional vision assessment to evaluate how your visual system performs during real-world tasks (reading, screens, schoolwork, sports). We use the results to determine whether vision therapy may help and what a plan could look like.

What’s Included in a Vision Therapy Evaluation

• Symptom + lifestyle review: reading habits, school/work demands, screen time, headaches, and triggers
• Prescription and clarity testing: assess whether glasses or a prescription update may be needed
• Binocular vision assessment: eye teaming, alignment, and depth perception testing
• Focusing evaluation: accommodative accuracy, stamina, and flexibility
• Eye movement testing: tracking skills used for reading and sports (as indicated)
• Plan + timeline discussion: review findings, recommendations, home support, and follow-up schedule

What Vision Therapy May Include

Vision therapy plans are personalized. Depending on your needs, your program may include in-office sessions, guided activities, and a structured home component to support progress between visits.

Results and Response Can Vary

Visual symptoms can have multiple causes, and progress varies by diagnosis, severity, consistency with the program, and individual response. Some patients improve steadily over weeks, while others may need a longer plan or adjustments along the way. During your evaluation, we’ll explain what we found and outline realistic expectations and next steps.
