Is my child too young for vision therapy?

• Your child will be telling you when they are
  feeling bored, hungry or tired, but it wont be
  the same when they are having any difficulties
  with their vision. Children are less likely to
  speak up when they suffer from myopia symptoms
  like needing to sit closer to the television,
  movie screen or the front of the classroom and
  having a blurry vision when looking at distant
  objects. Children dont report these problems as
  they think that this is how everyone sees it.
• As a parent, you may be concerned about which is
  the right age to start vision therapy for your
  child. Vision therapy is commonly recommended for
  children between the age of 5 and 6 years but
  infants as young as 3 years can also start
  benefiting from it. The visual skills of your
  child play a significant role in academic
  performance, self-esteem and behavioural
  development.
• Children aged 7 years and above can get optimal
  results from formal in-office sessions as they
  have a better understanding of the instructions.
  Children can suffer from lazy eyes or problems
  like visual processing or focusing even if they
  have a 20/20 vision. It is difficult to identify
  many of the vision problems that can affect your
  childs development and socialising skills.

What is the Right Age for Vision Therapy

• While infants as young as 3 years can start with
  vision therapy, Dr Shalini Jain who is an expert
  eye doctor in Ghaziabad generally recommends
  advanced therapy for children at the age of 5 and
  above as they have necessary attentional and
  language skills. Adults of any age can gain depth
  perception through vision therapy as the brain
  has the flexibility to learn new skills.
• How Vision Therapy Helps Your Childs Vision
• Vision Therapy can help children with a variety
  of vision problems like amblyopia, strabismus,
  binocular vision, focusing, tracking disorders
  and visual processing problems. Children who lack
  visual skills for effective reading, writing and
  learning may start vision therapy to improve
  their eye movements, eye-hand coordination and
  visual procession skills.

Treatment of Learning Related Visual Problems

• Children who have learning difficulties due to
  vision problems may experience depression,
  anxiety and low self-esteem. Vision therapy will
  be prescribed along with special eyeglasses if
  your child is tested with a learning-related
  vision problem. Vision therapy can also be
  combined with remedial learning activities to
  address your childs learning problems through a
  cooperative effort. 
• When to seek Vision Therapy for your child 
• It may not be easy to identify whether your child
  has a visual problem or whether their current
  level of visual skill is adequate to allow them
  to function successfully. In most cases, parents
  get to doubt of their child has vision problems
  when they struggle with their academic
  performance.

vision therapy exercises

• In most cases, you may not be able to realise
  that what they are experiencing is not normal.
  Convergence insufficiency is one of the many eye
  disorders that makes the brain preoccupied or
  distracted with the mechanics of reading. It is
  important to closely observe your childs
  behaviour and ask them whether their eyes hurt,
  words move, double up or get fuzzy or they lose
  their place a lot while reading.
• Vision problems are common among children, and if
  you think that your child is having a problem
  with the visual system you should make a
  consultation with us for an expert eye exam or a
  vision symptom questionnaire. If your child
  mysterious fall behind in school, it can
  potentially be a visual problem that can be
  treated with professionally supervised vision
  therapy exercises. In most cases, vision problems
  make children underestimate their capability to
  learn. Children who have normal intelligence and
  20/20 vision can still struggle at learning due
  to a vision problem.

vision therapy in Ghaziabad

• Optometric vision therapy is the therapy for the
  brain that uses the concepts of neuroplasticity
  to help the brain improve its ability to
  coordinate with the eyes. Most educational
  professionals are unaware of convergence
  insufficiency and other learning-related vision
  disorders. Children should be tested for these
  eye conditions rather than an eye health test or
  20/20 acuity test. At Dr Shalini Jains Samyak
  Eye Care Clinic is known for providing the best
  vision therapy in Ghaziabad to correct their
  vision problems. Schedule an evaluation with Dr
  Shalini Jain, to know if your child can benefit
  from vision therapy.
