Vision Therapy-- a type of physical therapy for the eyes and brain-- is a highly effective non-surgical treatment for many common visual problems such as lazy eye (Amblyopia, Mata Malas 懒惰眼), eye turn (斜视, Mata Juling 斗鸡眼/斜视), double vision, convergence insufficiency and some reading and learning disabilities. Many patients with vision problems who have been told, "it's too late," or "you'll have to learn to live with it" have benefited from vision therapy.
In the case of learning disabilities, visual therapy is specifically directed toward resolving visual problems which interfere with reading, learning, and educational instruction. Optometrists do not claim that therapy is a direct treatment for learning disabilities.
视觉神经治疗涉及什么？
视觉治疗是：
- 渐进式的视觉“锻炼”；
- 在医生的监督下进行；
- 个性化的治疗方案以满足患者的视觉需求；
- 通常在治疗中心进行每周一次或两次，每次30分钟至一个小时；
- 需要在家里完成一些“功课”来增强其效果；
- 根据患者的情况，以上的规定将：
- 帮助患者发展和提高基本的视觉技能和能力；
- 改善视觉舒适度和提高效率；
- 改变患者处理视觉信息的方式
Visual Therapy Is NOT Just Normal Eye Exercises
Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Therapy is not to strengthen eye muscles. Your eye muscles are already incredibly strong. Vision Therapy is not to be confused with any self-directed self-help program of eye exercises which is or has been marketed to the public.
In-office Therapy is supervised by Behavioral and Developmental optometrists and many types of specialized and/or medical equipment can be used in Optometric Therapy programs, such as:
- 矫正镜片（受监察的医疗设备）；
- 治疗镜片（受监察的医疗设备）；
- 棱镜（受监察的医疗设备）；
- 视觉滤光片；
- 眼罩
- 具有计时器的电子目标装置；
- 电脑软件;
- 前庭装置
- 视觉运动感知整合训练设备
The first step in any Therapy program is a 眼科视觉神经发展. Following a thorough evaluation, a qualified Behavioral and Developmental optometrists such as Mr Stanley can advise the candidate as to whether Visual Therapy would be the appropriate treatment.
