Increase Vision Therapy Awareness

We take for granted how our eyes work. Not everyone is able to track, team, and focus the way most of us do. If you or your child have symptoms of headaches, poor reading ability, poor attention to detail, or poor coordination, there may be an underlying vision problem that’s gone undetected.

Vision Therapy (VT for short) works to build a stronger connection between the brain and the eyes. Often times, vision disorders can go undetected in school vision screenings and comprehensive eye exams. When learning and developmental delays occur, parents and teachers usually don't think about the eyes as a possible concern. Vision Therapy works to develop age-appropriate eye teaming skills, which can reduce headaches & eye strain, improve focusing & attention, and increase reading speed & comprehension levels.

The Lumen Foundation aims to build awareness of vision therapy through increasing continuing education events for providers, meetings with educators and parents, and social media campaigns.
