Opto-Mization Optometry & Vision Therapy, a leader in innovative vision therapy and optometry services, is proud to announce the expansion of its comprehensive vision therapy programs tailored specifically for children. Since its establishment, Opto-mization has been dedicated to enhancing the visual health and daily living of its patients in Victoria and Nanaimo through pioneering methods that strengthen the eye-brain connection.
Vision therapy, a specialized field within developmental optometry, is at the heart of Opto-mization's approach. It is designed to improve the synergy between the eye’s ability to capture visual data and the brain's capacity to process it effectively. This is essential for enabling children to succeed in reading, writing, sports, social interactions, and other daily tasks.
Dr. Cameron McCrodan, the founder of Opto-Mization Optometry & Vision Therapy, emphasizes the importance of vision therapy, “Many children can pass standard vision screenings yet struggle with reading and maintaining focus due to conditions like strabismus or amblyopia. Our vision therapy programs are meticulously crafted to rectify these visual skills, setting children up for lifelong success.”
Opto-mization's vision therapy benefits children who experience difficulties in eye-tracking, eye teaming, hand-eye coordination, focusing, and more. It is especially beneficial for children with reading, writing, balance, and memory challenges. Parents who notice their children facing academic difficulties are encouraged to book a functional vision exam to determine if underlying vision problems are a contributing factor.
The conditions treated through Opto-mization’s vision therapy programs include, but are not limited to, dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), convergence insufficiency, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, and other developmental disorders.
"Our vision therapy is not just about correcting vision. It’s about enhancing life skills and confidence,” adds Dr. Scott Irvine, who specializes in vision therapy at Opto-mization. The program involves engaging and interactive exercises using advanced technology that captivate children's interest. These activities are complemented by daily exercises that can be performed at home, making the therapy both accessible and consistent.
The therapy typically includes 15 minutes of daily exercises to be completed at home and weekly 45-minute in-office appointments. The duration of the program varies based on the severity of the child’s diagnosis and their consistent engagement with the prescribed exercises.
As part of its commitment to providing exceptional patient care, Opto-mization ensures that each family receives full support throughout the therapy process. The team at Opto-mization monitors each child’s progress closely to ensure they remain on track and achieve the best possible outcomes.
"We are excited to introduce more families to the benefits of our vision therapy programs," says Dr. McCrodan. "At Opto-Mization Optometry & Vision Therapy, we are committed to unlocking each child’s potential through better vision."
Opto-Mization Optometry & Vision Therapy operates year-round and welcomes new patients and their families to explore how vision therapy can make a significant difference in their lives.
