Helping You See Clearly and Live Fully
Vision is more than 20/20. Clear eyesight measures how small you can read on a chart, but vision is how your eyes and brain work together to interpret the world. Even with perfect eyesight, your eyes may not function efficiently as a team, causing discomfort, headaches, or difficulty with daily tasks.
At Summit Eyecare Centre, our vision therapy programs help children and adults improve visual skills, strengthen eye coordination, and enhance visual processing. We combine neurofunctional exercises, diagnostic tools, and personalized care to help you see more clearly, read more comfortably, and perform better in school, work, or sports.

What is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a personalized program of exercises and activities designed to improve visual skills and brain-eye coordination. Unlike traditional eye care, which focuses primarily on correcting refractive errors with lenses, vision therapy targets the underlying function of the visual system.
Programs may include:
- In-office exercises and activities
- Neurofunctional glasses prescriptions
- Prisms and filters
- Syntonics (photobiomodulation)
- 3D targets
- Computer-based visual training programs
Vision therapy addresses conditions that, if left untreated, can cause ongoing discomfort, reduced performance, or developmental delays
Conditions Treated with Vision Therapy
Vision therapy is a customized program that strengthens the connection between your eyes and brain, helping children and adults improve visual skills, reduce discomfort, and perform at their best.
Our programs address a wide range of vision challenges, supporting everything from academic success and workplace efficiency to sports performance and recovery after injuries.
Coordinated eye movements, proper focusing, and integration with posture are essential for comfortable vision. When these systems do not work together efficiently, everyday activities such as reading, screen use, or driving can become tiring or uncomfortable.
Symptoms often include blurred or double vision, eye strain, headaches, words appearing to shake on the page, skipping or repeating lines while reading, and burning or watery eyes.
Vision therapy strengthens eye coordination and focus, reducing discomfort and improving clarity for sustained near- and distance-vision tasks.
Difficulty focusing on near objects can make reading, homework, or screen time exhausting, leading to eye fatigue, headaches, and even avoidance of close-up tasks.
Vision therapy uses targeted exercises to train the eyes to converge properly, improving comfort, reducing strain, and enhancing reading efficiency and visual stamina for long periods of near work.
Following moving objects, scanning text, or shifting focus between distances can be challenging for those with tracking difficulties.
Vision therapy improves smooth, coordinated eye movements, allowing for more accurate tracking of words on a page, better performance in sports, and improved ability to follow visual cues in daily life.
Crossed eyes or “lazy eye” can affect depth perception, visual alignment, and binocular vision. Vision therapy promotes proper eye coordination, enhances visual development, and strengthens the weaker eye, supporting clearer, more balanced vision while improving spatial awareness.
Some children struggle to interpret and process what they see, which can impact reading, comprehension, and learning. Vision therapy exercises improve visual processing skills, enhancing concentration, comprehension, and overall academic performance, helping children feel more confident in the classroom.
Concussions, brain injuries, or eye trauma can disrupt how the eyes and brain communicate, causing double vision, headaches, or visual fatigue. Vision therapy rebuilds these connections, restoring visual function, reducing discomfort, and helping patients regain independence, confidence, and quality of life.
Athletes and active individuals can improve reaction time, hand-eye coordination, peripheral awareness, and visual tracking through targeted exercises. Vision therapy enhances overall visual performance, helping athletes perform with greater precision, confidence, and consistency.
Prolonged screen time and office work can lead to eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Vision therapy strengthens visual endurance, improves focus, and enhances efficiency with computers and near work, making daily tasks more comfortable and reducing visual-related stress.
