What Is Vision Therapy?

Visual Acuity: You’ll probably already be familiar with this test that measures your vision using a chart. Cover Test: A simple test designed to check how well your eyes are coordinated and to check for squints. Ocular Motility: By looking into a moving light, we’ll be able to determine how well your eyes move and can identify causes of double vision. Stereopsis: A 3 tiered test to measure your depth perception, helping us to identify difficulties with reading and eye strain. Prism Cover Test: Another simple test to measure how large your squint is so that we can prescribe prisms and other treatments.

To help make your first appointment as simple as possible, it would be helpful if you could provide: ● Any letters or documents from previous eye consultations. ● A list of current medications including eye drops. ● Your glasses (including those worn for reading, driving and long distance).
