Not Just "Eye Exercises"

Dr. Christensen is CVOD board certified 20+ years working with kids, athletes and adults

Unlike other forms of exercise, the goal of Optometric Vision Therapy is not to strengthen eye muscles. Your eye muscles are already incredibly strong. Instead, Vision Therapy aims to retrain the learned aspects of vision through the recently-understood concept of neuroplasticity. 

​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
