Advanced Vision Therapy Center Assessments

Dependable Quality & Service

A vision assessment at Advanced Vision Therapy Center is unlike an annual eye examination. The two should not be confused, nor does one replace the other. A typical eye exam evaluates ocular health and visual acuity. A vision assessment at Advanced Vision Therapy Center is an in-depth evaluation of visual system function, is symptom focused, and used in the diagnoses of both immediate onset (acute) as well as long-standing (chronic) vision problems. A referral is not required. You may contact our office directly to schedule an assessment.

During the vision assessment, our team evaluates several aspects of the visual system, including but not limited to:

  • Accommodation (eye focusing)
  • Binocular vision (eye teaming)
  • Oculomotor function (tracking)
  • Visual perception (how we make sense of visually-presented information)
  • Visual processing (how quickly and efficiently we interpret visual information)

Following the vision assessment, treatment will be discussed and a research-based treatment plan will be prescribed based on the diagnosis to improve visual performance. At Advanced Vision Therapy Center we serve a wide range of patients; from children struggling academically, to athletes working to take their game to the next level, to adults suffering from double vision or acquired brain injury. All of our patients experience unique visual barriers to success and quality of life. For this reason, we offer several types of assessments.

I already have an eye doctor, is Advanced Vision Therapy Center still for me?

Absolutely.  An assessment at Advanced Vision Therapy Center is quite different from a routine eye exam. The majority of eye doctors provide primary care eye exams, where the goal is to determine the proper eyeglass prescription and evaluate eye health.  At Advanced Vision Therapy Center we go beyond testing visual acuity and ocular health. There is so much more to vision than simply reading the 20/20 line on an eye chart. We evaluate all aspects of binocular vision performance, which is the functional ability and performance level of the visual system.  This means we evaluate:

  • Eye teaming (how well you use your eyes together)
  • Eye focusing
  • Depth perception/3D vision
  • Eye movements (such as those necessary to be an efficient reader)
  • Visual perception (what the brain does with the visual information once it is received through the eyes)
  • Working memory
  • Processing speed
  • Visual agility/visual reaction speed

Our treatment programs are recommended for children and adults who:

  • Perform below potential or experience inconsistent performance (academically, athletically, or in the workplace)
  • Have symptoms of visual-sensory, visual-processing or visual-integration (visual-motor, visual-vestibular, etc.) disorder
  • Have a history of an acquired brain injury (concussion, stroke, etc.)
  • Experience vision problems associated with a neuro-degenerative condition

We are confident we can help you too.  You do not need a referral to see us. Simply call our office to schedule an assessment.

What treatment options does Advanced Vision Therapy Center offer?

At Advanced Vision Therapy Center we offer a variety of treatment options:

Treatment is completely customized based on diagnosis and complexity of the case,  tailored to the ability of the patient, and developed to achieve targeted treatment goals.  The treatment programs at Advanced Vision Therapy Center are available to both children and adults.

At Advanced Vision Therapy Center, our treatment programs are research and evidence-based. Which is why our treatment programs (since 1991) graduate 98.7% of patients within the prescribed number of treatment sessions, with an impressive success rate of 99.3%.  Our treatment programs are doctor recommended and patient preferred.

BINOCULAR VISION ASSESSMENT

A Binocular Vision Assessment is designed for both children and adults with vision conditions that impact visual performance and comfort in the classroom or in the work environment. Individuals who experience binocular vision dysfunction often experience eyestrain or fatigue, fluctuating or blurry vision, double vision (even occasional), headaches and difficulties performing visual tasks (especially reading and computer work). Age-appropriate testing is used to identify vision conditions that impact learning or the ability to comfortably work through the day's visual demands.

NEURO-OPTOMETRIC ASSESSMENT

A Neuro-Optometric Assessment is designed to identify visual changes following an acquired brain injury (concussion, traumatic brain injury, stroke, etc) or those associated with neurological conditions (Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, etc). Many people experience visual changes following an acquired brain injury. Early identification and treatment of these vision conditions is a critical component of your overall recovery. Lingering vision conditions present a barrier to overall rehabilitation as well as a return to normal life.

VISUAL PROCESSING ASSESSMENT

A Visual Processing Assessment is designed for individuals who have difficulties processing and organizing visual information. Once information is taken in by the visual system, it must be processed by the brain in order to make sense of an ever-changing visual environment. Visual perception, visual processing and working memory are evaluated to identify how quickly, accurately and efficiently visual information is processed by the brain. If difficulties are identified, treatment is prescribed to improve visual information processing.
