Janet was scheduled for strabismus surgery.  However, her parents wanted to first try any non invasive options.  After a course of vision therapy her ophthalmologist's consultation letter stated that “Janet's exo deviation has been well controlled with the exercise program.  At this point I do not advise any surgical intervention.”

Radha

Age 12

Diagnosis: myopia progression

Refraction: -6.50 -1.25 X 005

                   -7.00 -1.25 X 160

Radha’s main concern was her drastically increasing myopia.  She was progressing at a rate of -1.50 diopters a year.  After a course of vision therapy her Rx has now been STABLE for the past 2 years.

James

Age 11

Diagnosis: generalized
                  binocular
                  dysfunction

Refraction: +0.50-0.50 X 095

                   +0.50-0.50 X 085

James is an extremely bright young boy who came into the clinic saying “my eyes get frustrated when I read”.  This was a great observation since most children with generalized binocular dysfunction can not tell themselves that there is something wrong.  After a course of vision therapy, James has shocked his teacher by now reading ABOVE grade level.  Go to our binocular vision section to learn more about this kind of condition.

Hector

Age 9

Diagnosis: refractive amblyope
                  OD

Refraction: +5.25

                   +2.00

Hector had amblyopia in one eye. He presented with a best corrected visual acuity of 20/60 OD 20/20 OS.  After a course of vision therapy his refraction went down to +1.25 OD and plano OS.  His uncorrected visual acuity is now 20/20 OD and 20/20 OS.
