Vision Therapy at Golden Vision Clinic
Vision is our most precious and valuable sense, and 90% of learning is visual in nature. But what if our eyes don’t function as well as they should, as occurs with a vision problem? When a person has a vision problem, information is not acquired easily and efficiently.
Eye Turn and Lazy Eyes
Eye turns (strabismus) and lazy eyes (amblyopia) occur in When a child or adult has been diagnosed with an eye turn, crossed eye, lazy eye or ‘wandering eye’, often the treatments given are patching and/or surgery. Vision therapy offers a non-surgical solution to these problems, with minimal patching.
ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia
ADD, ADHD and dyslexia are real problems that interfere with learning. However, children with vision problems can exhibit the same behaviors as children with attention problems and reading disabilities.
Insurance and Vision Therapy
Golden Vision Clinic administers the Vision Therapy Evaluations and Vision Therapy Progress Evaluations. With most insurance plans, we can bill part of those visits to your insurance.

How Vision Affects Learning
Vision is our most precious and valuable sense, and 90% of learning is visual in nature. But what if our eyes don’t function as well as they should, as occurs with a vision problem? When a person has a vision problem, information is not acquired easily and efficiently. Consequently, information cannot be processed efficiently and learning is difficult. Different types of vision problems include:
- Eye teaming (difficulty maintaining single vision)
- Eye focusing (difficulty maintaining clear vision)
- Eye tracking (difficulty with accurate eye movements)
- Visual motor coordination (eye-hand coordination)
- Visual Processing/ Visual Perception (ability to think and process information visually)
Often children and adults have a vision problem and struggle to learn, but are unaware of the problem because “this is how my vision always has been!” A Vision Therapy Evaluation is indicated any time a child struggles with learning!

- Losing place while reading or skipping words
- Misreading words or letters
