School of Vision - individual therapy for visual impairment

At School of Vision, we offer specialized treatment for a variety of vision disorders that can occur in children and adults. The School of Vision specializes in diagnosing and treating eye muscle and focusing problems, as well as improving visual perception and coordination.

What is a visual school?

The School of Vision is a facility that specializes in the treatment of functional visual disorders. These disorders can affect the ability to visual perception and coordination, even if the eyes themselves have no structural damage. They are often the result of problems with eye muscles or focusing, which can interfere with normal development or optimal vision.

Common indications for treatment at a vision school include

Strabismus: A misalignment of the eyes in which the eyes do not look in the same direction at the same time.
Amblyopia (low vision): A decrease in visual acuity that cannot be corrected with glasses, often referred to as “lazy eye.”
Lack of eye coordination: Problems with focusing and working both eyes at the same time, resulting in double vision or difficulty focusing.
Reading difficulties: Especially for children who have difficulty focusing on text or reading correctly, vision therapy may be helpful.
Convergence insufficiency: a disorder in which the eyes have difficulty working together for near vision, which can lead to eye pain, headaches, or blurred vision.
Accommodative Disorder: Difficulty focusing the eyes at different distances, which can lead to blurred vision and fatigue.

Goals and therapeutic approaches at the School of Vision

Therapy at the School of Vision includes a variety of methods that are individually tailored to the needs of the patient. The main goals include

Improving eye coordination: exercises to optimize the cooperation of both eyes.
Focusing skills training: Improving the ability to see objects in focus near and far.
Improving visual perception: exercises aimed at developing visual perception to improve the ability to read and understand what you see.
Prevent fatigue and strain: Help prevent discomfort such as burning eyes, headaches, or eye pain that can result from poor vision coordination or focus.

Typical forms of therapy in a visual school

Visual exercises: A combination of active and passive exercises to improve eye coordination and focus. These exercises can be done with or without specialized equipment.
Prism lenses: For some types of strabismus or eye muscle problems, special prism lenses can be used to correct eye position and improve eye coordination.
Treatment of low vision: Amblyopia can be treated by closing the stronger eye (occlusion therapy) or by targeting the weaker eye with visual stimuli.
Computer-assisted exercises: Modern programs can be used to improve eye coordination, binocular vision and focus.

When is a visit to the School of Vision recommended?

Attending vision school is recommended in the following cases:

When you have vision problems that cannot be corrected with glasses.

If there is constant squinting or eye fatigue, especially if these complaints occur during daily activities such as reading or working on the computer.
If your child has difficulty learning proper reading technique or complains of headaches or eye pain on a regular basis.
If amblyopia or visual deficiency is suspected in children who do not have clear vision despite correction.

Benefits of vision school treatment:

Improved visual acuity and quality of life: many patients report significant improvement in their vision after treatment and a reduction in complaints such as headaches or eye strain.
Individualized approach: each therapy is tailored to the specific needs of the patient to achieve the best results.
Early intervention: Early treatment is especially important for children to prevent irreversible visual impairment and to promote normal visual development.

Post-operative care and long-term results

Regular follow-up in the vision clinic helps to monitor progress and make sure that the exercises continue to be effective. Ongoing follow-up will help solidify long-term results and prevent possible recurrences.
