Vision Therapy, Mt. Pleasant, MI

At Pleasant Optics, we offer vision therapy in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan to treat a range of vision issues that can’t be fixed with glasses or contact lenses. Vision therapy is like physical therapy but for your eyes! The goal of this therapy is to improve the visual skills you or your child need to excel in school, sports, and more. 

What is vision therapy?  

Vision therapy involves a series of exercises designed to enhance your visual skills and improve your brain-eye connection. By using prisms, special red/green lenses, anti-suppression exercises, and a variety of other techniques, our experts can help improve eye coordination, focus, and visual processing skills. We also incorporate tools such as balance boards and exercise balls to make our vision therapy sessions more interactive and engaging for patients of all ages!  

Vision therapy can address a wide range of issues including:  

• Amblyopia (lazy eye)  
• Binocular vision problems (when the eyes struggle to work together) 
• Strabismus (crossed eyes)  
• Double vision  
• Eye teaming and tracking problems  
• Trouble focusing at school 
• Recurring headaches, especially after reading for long periods 

Our vision therapy process 

The first step in any vision therapy program is a comprehensive eye exam so that our eye doctors can gain a better understanding of your vision and eye health. Every patient is different and requires individualized care. Our on-site vision therapists will work closely with our optometrists to assess your visual skills and determine the best course of action for improving your vision through therapy.  

Sensorimotor exams 

As a part of the process, we will perform a sensorimotor exam. Sensorimotor exams are specialized tests that assess how well your eyes work together and move in unison. These exams are crucial for diagnosing and treating vision problems that can impact your ability to perform daily activities, including reading, driving, and sports. Based on the results of your sensorimotor exam, our eye care specialists may recommend vision therapy.
