Picture

Optometric  Vision Therapy  is:

  • A progressive program of vision procedures
  • Performed under doctor supervision
  • Individualized to fit the visual needs of each patient
  • Generally conducted in-office, in once or twice weekly sessions of 30 minutes to an hour
  • Occasionally supplemented with procedures done at home between office visits

Not  Just " Eye  Exercises"

VISION IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES:
Dr. Christensen works with children and adults with visually related learning problems, which include the following
  1. Letter reversals
  2. Loss of place while reading/writing
  3. Omitting and/or confusing small words
  4. Short attention span
  5. Slow reading and poor comprehension
  6. Headaches and/ or eyestrain while reading/homework
  7. School performance not to up to potential
  8. "Smart in everything but school"
Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Optometric Vision Therapy is not to strengthen eye muscles, but instead retrain the learned aspects of vision through the concept of neuroplasticity. Research shows that Vision Therapy is approximately FIVE TIMES more effective than surgery for providing a functional and cosmetic cure for Strabismus and Amblyopia. Dr. Christensen has worked with some of the world's foremost authorities in this area, and continues to educate himself in the latest developments in Vision Therapy.

​Optometric Vision Therapy should not be confused with any self-directed program of eye exercises which is or has been marketed to the public. Optometric vision therapy is supported by ongoing evidence-based scientific research. 
​
Optometric Vision Therapy is supervised by vision care professionals and may include a variety of specialized tools and medical equipment.

  • Therapeutic lenses
  • Prisms
  • Filters
  • Occluders or patches
  • Electronic targets with timing mechanisms
  • Balance boards
