“Despite working with the school reading teachers for two years, she was so behind in reading and it was such a chore, that she didn’t even want to try anymore.
After going through vision therapy, reading is so much easier and enjoyable for her. She has confidence in her reading abilities – which was non-existent last year. I cannot thank Minnesota Vision Therapy enough!” – Sarah, parent of a 9-year-old
“I am a Kindergarten teacher and despite everything I know about reading, I was not able to help my son. Even with extra reading help and outside tutoring, progress was not being made.
After vision therapy, he is no longer exhausted while reading or doing homework and his headaches are gone. His MCA scores went from the red zone to yellow zone and went from the red zone to gree zone in math! He started middle school this year and is getting all A’s and B’s.” – Jamie, parent of a 12-year-old
My child had an eye exam, and their vision was fine
Standard eye exams only check for 20/20 clarity but do not assess functional vision skills like eye tracking, convergence, and visual processing. A specialized functional vision evaluation is needed to detect these issues.
I’ve never heard of vision therapy before. Why don’t more doctors recommend it?
Many general optometrists and pediatricians focus on diagnosing eye diseases or prescribing glasses, but functional vision therapy requires specialized training. It is a well-researched field within behavioral optometry, but not all doctors are aware of its benefits.
My child is just not trying hard enough
Many children with functional vision problems appear unmotivated, but the truth is that reading and learning are physically exhausting for them. Their eyes struggle to focus, track, and work together, making schoolwork much harder than it should be.
Does vision therapy actually work?
Yes! Studies and clinical experience show that vision therapy helps strengthen eye coordination, tracking, and processing, improving reading and learning abilities.
Is vision therapy expensive?
The cost of vision therapy is an investment in your child’s education and future. Many parents find that untreated vision issues result in costly tutoring, misdiagnoses, and frustration.
Is vision therapy just eye exercises?
While some exercises are involved, vision therapy is much more than that. It is a structured, individualized treatment program guided by a specialist to retrain the brain and eyes to work together effectively.
