About

Q: Myth #1: If you have 20/20 vision, your eyes are fine.

Truth: 20/20 only measures clarity at a distance. Vision therapy focuses on how your eyes work together, not just how clearly you see.

Q: Myth #2: Vision Therapy is just eye exercises.

Truth: It’s a neurological training program that improves brain-eye coordination, visual processing, and attention--not just “eye muscle workouts.”

Q: Myth #3: Glasses can fix all vision problems.

Truth: Glasses help with clarity, but not issues like tracking, convergence or visual memory. Vision therapy addresses how your brain uses visual information.

Q: Myth #4: Kids will outgrow eye coordination issues.

Truth: Many visual dysfunctions don’t resolve on their own. Left untreated, they can hinder academic and athletic performance.

Q: Myth #5: Vision therapy is only for children.

Truth: Adults benefit too--especially after concussions, strokes, or when dealing with digital eye strain and fatigue.

Q: Myth #6: There's no science behind vision therapy.

Truth: Vision therapy is supported by research and endorsed by organizations like the American Optometric Association (AOA) for treating issues like convergence insufficiency.

Q: Myth #7: It's too expensive and not worth it.

Truth: Many families find the long-term benefits (better school performance, improved quality of life, reduced need for special education services) outweigh the cost. Many plans allow FSA/HSA use.
