What ages benefit from vision therapy? 👀

Vision therapy can help children, teens, and even adults—because vision skills develop over time and can be improved at any age.

✨ We often work with:
• Preschoolers building foundational visual skills
• School-aged kids struggling with reading, attention, or eye coordination
• Teens with headaches, eye strain, or sports performance challenges
• Adults dealing with visual fatigue, post-concussion symptoms, or long-standing vision issues

If your child avoids reading, loses their place, complains of headaches, or seems overwhelmed with schoolwork, their eyes may be working harder than they should.

👉 Wondering if vision therapy could help your child (or you)?

Did You Know?
Vision is learned — just like balance, coordination, and reading.

If your child is struggling, it’s not a lack of effort. Their visual system may need support. Vision therapy helps build strong visual skills for learning and confidence.

💙 Screen Time Tip for Busy Families 💙
Growing eyes work hard during screen time. Help protect them with the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
It’s a simple habit that supports healthy vision development.

👁️‍🗨️ What Is Convergence — and Why Is It Important?

Convergence is the ability of both eyes to turn inward together to focus on something up close — like reading a book, writing, or using a tablet.

When convergence is working well, near tasks feel comfortable and clear.
When it’s weak (often called convergence insufficiency), children may experience:
• Double or blurry vision
• Eye strain or headaches
• Losing their place while reading
• Short attention span for near work
• Avoiding reading or schoolwork

📖 Convergence plays a big role in reading stamina, comprehension, and focus. If the eyes can’t comfortably work together up close, learning becomes tiring and frustrating.

✨ The good news? Convergence is a skill that can be improved with vision therapy. Targeted exercises help train the eyes and brain to work together more efficiently.

If your child struggles with near work, their eyes may be doing more work than you realize.

🌟 Activity Spotlight 🌟
After the excitement of the holidays, many kids’ visual systems can feel overwhelmed.

👀 Near–Far Focus Activities help the eyes smoothly shift focus between close-up tasks (like reading or homework) and distance vision (like the board at school).

✨ This activity supports:
✔️ Visual flexibility
✔️ Attention and focus
✔️ Calming and regulating the visual system after busy, stimulating days

Eye Teaming: Why It Matters 👀🤝

Do your child’s eyes work together as a team?
Eye teaming is the ability of both eyes to align, focus, and move together smoothly. When eye teaming isn’t working well, kids may struggle with reading, attention, and visual comfort — even if they have 20/20 eyesight.

Signs of poor eye teaming can include:
• Skipping or losing place while reading
• Headaches or eye strain
• Double vision or words moving on the page
• Avoiding reading or near work

💡 Vision Therapy helps strengthen eye teaming by training the eyes and brain to coordinate more effectively. When the eyes work together, reading becomes easier, focus improves, and learning feels less frustrating.

📩 Curious if eye teaming could be affecting your child? Call/text is at 440-230-0923, message us or cosit www.sensoryfocus.com to learn more or schedule an evaluation.

Sensory overwhelm is real — and it can impact focus, behavior, and learning.
Vision therapy helps the brain process visual information more efficiently, supporting better regulation and calmer responses to sensory input. 💙

Does your child get overwhelmed by busy classrooms, bright lights, or lots of movement?

🔍 Equipment Spotlight: Flippers 👓

At The Vision Development Team, flippers are one of our favorite tools for building strong, flexible focusing skills!

Lens flippers help train the eyes to quickly and accurately shift focus between near and far — a critical skill for reading, copying from the board, and reducing eye fatigue. 📚✨
When focusing systems aren’t working efficiently, kids may avoid reading, lose their place, or complain of headaches.

Through vision therapy, flippers help the brain and eyes learn to work together more smoothly — making visual tasks easier and more comfortable.
