Oculomotor Dysfunction is a common vision problem that occurs in both children and adults. One can have difficulty making accurate eye movements that can affect reading, sports, balance and depth perception as well as most visually related tasks.
So many of the common signs and symptoms of Dyslexia are often shared with visual dysfunctions, leading to school-aged children often being mislabeled as dyslexic! Or for those who truly have dyslexia, they often have vision problems that make it even harder to overcome their reading disability.
In this video, Dr. Neil walks through how vision affects those with dyslexia, and how treating the visual aspects can make the other symptoms much more manageable.
Vision Therapy can help develop visual skills essential for reading, and up-close work, oftentimes eliminating the need for attention correcting medication in children or adults with ADD/ADHD.
In this video, Dr. Neil breaks down the idea that some symptoms of ADD/ADHD could actually be undiagnosed Learning Related Vision Problems.
Vision should be effortless. If you have been negatively impacted by Post Concussion Syndrome, and find difficulty in mundane tasks like driving, grocery shopping, or reading, Vision Therapy may provide you with solutions.

One eye on target, the other deviated away - This is referred to as Strabismus.
____________
Strabismus is a large umbrella of several types of "eye turns."
When one eye is not on-target, one can struggle with poor depth perception, double vision, and the risk of developing Amblyopia (reduced vision), among others.
Watch as Dr. Neil breaks down how Vision Therapy can be a huge tool to those who want to treat their Strabismus as an alternative to corrective surgery and learn to use both eyes together.
Amblyopia is more than an eye condition; it is a neurological condition that shows up in the eyes. 👀
The brain struggles to use both eyes as a team, but through Vision Therapy and therapeutic lenses or contacts, we can train the brain to use both eyes together.
Some people wear an eye patch to improve amblyopia. Patching has been around for 1100 years - we can do so much better than that now!
If you or your child have recently been diagnosed with Amblyopia, or you have lived with this your whole life and want some answers...this video is a great place to start your research!
