Vision Rehabilitation
Some vision conditions cannot be treated with glasses or contact lenses alone. These conditions require non-surgical treatment called vision rehabilitation. During vision therapy, an occupational therapist, with experience in vision rehabilitation, provides education and exercises to help you adjust to vision changes, as well as treat ocular motility issues. Common eye issues Saint Luke’s vision rehabilitation treats includes:
- Visual field loss
- Visual processing
- Low vision
- Ocular motility disorders
How it works
During your first appointment, your occupational therapist will perform an in-depth vision assessment. Your therapist will then create a comprehensive therapy plan, including strategies for compensating for vision issues and recommended environmental changes. Your therapist can also collaborate with an optometrist for corrective lenses and to develop exercises and activities to improve ocular motility disorders.
