Controlling Myopia Progression with Vision Therapy

18 May, 2017 by Myopia Institute

Myopia, otherwise known as nearsightedness, is a common visual impairment that usually occurs during childhood. This refractive error causes problems when viewing distant objects while your close-range vision remains stable. Using prescription eyewear is its standard form of management. If this option is incompatible with your condition, then we may recommend undergoing vision therapy instead. Let The Myopia Institute discuss this method in detail.

Vision Therapy Process

Also referred to as vision training, this is a non-surgical treatment program that involves an individualized set of eye exercises for a certain period. This may also include using visual aids, prisms, and even computer-assisted activities. While physical therapy is for improving muscle strength, vision therapy aims to develop ocular strength and function.

The Link Between Vision Training and Myopia

Vision training intends to enhance the coordination between your neurological and visual systems. Performing the exercises repeatedly takes advantage of your brain’s neuroplasticity ability, improving its adaptability to external stimuli. Over time, your eyes and brain will be trained to have a better working relationship. This program is particularly designed to reduce convergence insufficiency, making it an effective myopia vision correction.

The multi-sensory principle of vision therapy can boost the communication between your two eyes. The eye exercises and activities also strengthen your eye muscles. These can help prevent the advancement of myopic effects for your better visual acuity.

Good Candidates

We may perform a comprehensive eye exam first to determine if you’re a good candidate for vision training. We’ll establish your current eye health to serve as our guide when creating your treatment regimen. Apart from nearsightedness, this corrective method has also shown effectiveness in alleviating eye misalignment (strabismus), binocular eyesight errors (amblyopia), and even ocular movement disorders (nystagmus). It’s a reliable vision rehabilitative program for individuals with brain injuries or developmental delays as well.

For more information about vision therapy, contact a local myopia control specialist in your area. We’ll be ready to assist you.
