Visual
rehabilitation is designed to help the visual system
work in the most efficient and accurate way possible to
enhance the learning process. Visual rehabilitation is a
1 hour weekly to bi-weekly commitment used to train eye
skills and sensory motor integration. Training usually
takes 6 months to a year to complete depending on speed
of progress.
Children often do not know
if vision is a problem. They think that what they see is
the way everybody else sees. To find out if vision is
affecting learning please take our
Online Child Vision Quiz.
Our child vision exam is a three-part exam. At the
first exam we check to see if glasses are needed, the
eye health, the visual skills important for learning, and a
dilation if indicated. The second exam focuses on how
the brain interprets what it sees and how it outputs
that information. This is a fun exam for
the children. The third visit is reserved for parents to
come and discuss with Dr. Roach what she has found and
the best way to help the child to succeed in school and
in life.
Every
baby should have a vision exam at 6 months of age to
check for early signs of amblyopia (lazy eye),
strabismus (eye turn), and other factors that can limit
their visual development. At our office we provide
infant exams FREE of charge as a part of InfantSEE. This
program offers infants from birth to 1 year of age a
FREE comprehensive eye exam. It will be a relief to know
your baby's vision is healthy.
Children aren't the only
ones who experience visual stress that interferes with
daily activities. Adults can also suffer from common
visual symptoms that they are unaware of. These visual
problems aren't something you can just outgrow; they
stick with you for life if not treated properly. If you
find yourself getting headaches frequently, feeling
overly tired after work (especially if you have a job
where you do a lot of work on the computer or reading),
or eye strain, you probably have an undiagnosed visual
condition. Come in and let us take a look. To find out
if you have a vision problem take our
Online Adult Vision Quiz.
After
having a stroke or some type of head trauma, the visual
system is likely to be affected. Over 50% of the brain
is dedicated to processing vision in some way or another
and any injury (detectable by MRI/CAT Scan or not) can
disrupt the intricate balance of the visual pathways.
Even a low velocity car accident can cause nerve damage
in the brain and affect vision. To find out if you have
a vision problem take our
Online Adult Vision Quiz.
