Fox Vision Development Center in Latham

Description

Behavioral Optometry is a unique approach to eye care that focuses on the way that the vision system functions as a whole. Unlike traditional optometry, which focuses mainly on prescribing glasses or contact lenses to correct visual acuity, Behavioral Optometry takes a holistic, integrated approach to treating the vision system. This approach recognizes that vision is not just about seeing clearly, but also about how the brain processes and interprets visual information.

At our eye care center in Latham, NY, we offer a variety of services based on the principles of Behavioral Optometry. These services include vision therapy sessions, which are designed to help individuals with conditions such as amblyopia, strabismus, and convergence insufficiency. These conditions can cause problems with visual processing and eye teaming, leading to difficulties with reading, writing, and other activities that require the eyes to work together.

In addition to vision therapy, our eye doctors also offer neuro optometry rehabilitation for individuals who have experienced brain injuries or other neurological conditions that affect the vision system. This type of rehabilitation can help to improve visual function and reduce symptoms such as double vision, difficulty with spatial awareness, and eye strain.

Overall, Behavioral Optometry provides a comprehensive approach to treating the vision system, taking into account not just the eyes themselves, but also the way that the brain processes and interprets visual information.
