Vision Therapy

"Z.R." - Adult Treatment of Lazy Eye, Amblyopia & Strabismus

I have sufffered from a lazy eye in my right eye from a very young age. My right eye would turn inwards whenever I was tired.

At the age of six, a doctor recommended I wear an eye patch. I wore the eye patch for about a year. This did not change my condition.

Having a lazy eye growing up made me very self-conscious about my looks. I was always worried to look people in the eye for a prolonged period of time when I spoke to them, out of embarrassment of my eye turning and them noticing.

I also always had a problem with catching anything that was thrown my way. I had no idea it had to do with the lazy eye but I learned since going to vision therapy that this had to do with the fact that both my eyes were not working together and, therefore, I had no depth perception.

Since going to vision therapy, my lazy eye is nearly non-existent. I am no longer self-conscious and am now able to make eye contact when I speak to people. Another amazing benefit is that I am no longer the uncoordinated klutz I always thought I was.

Due to vision therapy, my depth perception has dramatically improved and I can now engage in hand eye coordination sports very well. I would definitely recommend this treatment to any adult or parent whose child has a lazy eye.

Had this therapy been available when I was growing up, I believe I would have been engaged in a lot more activities and not have been insecure about my appearance.
