A fun fusion card to get in the holiday spirit!

Look closely at each pair of pictures. With good eye teamwork, your eyes should be able to converge (turn in) or diverge (relax out) so the two images fuse into one.

🚩 If this feels difficult, causes eye strain, headaches, or you see double that won’t come together, it may be a sign your eyes aren’t teaming efficiently.

This is exactly what we train in vision therapy—helping the eyes coordinate, focus, and work together smoothly for reading, learning, and daily life.

✨ Happy National Stretching Day! ✨

Just like our muscles need a good stretch to stay flexible, coordinated, and strong…so do our visual systems! 👀💪

In Vision Therapy, we “stretch” the eyes and brain every day! We are building better tracking, smoother teaming, stronger focusing, and more efficient visual processing. Little movements add up to big changes. And just like physical stretching, consistency is key.

If you or someone you love has been struggling with headaches, reading fatigue, double vision, visual stress, or trouble sustaining attention…it might be time to give those visual skills a proper stretch with a functional vision exam.

👀 Vision Therapy FAQ: What Parents Always Ask!

❓ What is vision therapy?
Vision therapy is a personalized program that trains the eyes and brain to work together more efficiently—much like physical therapy, but for your visual system.

❓ Is it just for kids?
No! While many children benefit from vision therapy, teens and adults can too—especially those with reading struggles, headaches, eye strain, or post-concussion symptoms.

❓ My child passed a school screening… could they still need it?
Yes! Screenings check sight, not visual skills. Many kids with 20/20 still struggle with tracking, focusing, eye teaming, or visual processing.

❓ What signs should I look for?
📚 Avoiding reading
😫 Frequent headaches
🔍 Losing place while reading
🤓 Eyes that fatigue easily
🚫 Trouble copying from the board
📏 Difficulty with spacing or handwriting

Can you see the hidden picture?

Pick a point behind the picture—imagine you’re trying to look at something far in the distance.
Your eyes should feel like they’re relaxing outward instead of turning in.

Did you know vision can be a game-changer in sports? 👀
When we think about athletic performance, we usually focus on strength, speed, or skill—but visual skills play a huge role too!

From tracking a fast-moving ball ⚽
to judging distance accurately 🏀
to keeping both eyes working together during quick movements 🏈…

Strong visual processing can make all the difference.

✨ Vision Therapy can help athletes:
• Improve reaction time
• Enhance hand-eye coordination
• Strengthen depth perception
• Boost focus and accuracy
• Reduce visual fatigue during games

Whether your athlete is struggling to keep up—or just wants a competitive edge—vision therapy can help sharpen the skills that matter most on the field.

👓💪 Better vision. Better performance. Better confidence.

In vision therapy, lenses aren’t just for helping you see clearly — they can actually change how the eyes and brain work together. Different lenses can:
• Shift focusing demand
• Improve spatial awareness

These small changes can make a big difference for patients who struggle with tracking, focusing, headaches, or reading fatigue.

Primitive Reflexes & Your Child’s Vision: What’s the Connection?

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements babies are born with—important for early survival and development. But as a child grows, these reflexes should naturally integrate so more advanced motor and visual skills can take over.

When certain reflexes don’t fully integrate, they can directly affect how a child’s visual system develops and functions.

Here’s how unintegrated reflexes can impact vision:

🔹 Trouble focusing between near and far (like copying from the board)
🔹 Difficulty tracking words while reading
🔹 Skipping lines or losing place
🔹 Eye strain or headaches
🔹 Poor hand-eye coordination
🔹 Sensitivity to movement or visual clutter
🔹 Difficulty with depth perception and balance

The encouraging part?
With proper reflex integration exercises and vision therapy techniques, kids can strengthen the visual skills needed for reading, learning, and everyday confidence.

If your child is bright but struggles with reading, coordination, or visual focus, unintegrated reflexes may be a key piece of the puzzle.

👀 Spotting Hidden Vision Problems in Kids

Did you know up to 1 in 4 school-age children struggle with vision problems that can impact learning — even if they pass routine eye exams?

Standard screenings only check how clearly a child sees letters on a chart. But vision is more than 20/20 — it’s about how well the eyes and brain work together for tasks like reading, focusing, and tracking.

When these visual skills are weak, kids have to work harder just to see and understand what they’re learning — often leading to frustration, fatigue, or falling behind.

💡 If your child struggles with reading, attention, or coordination, it could be a hidden vision issue. Vision therapy can help strengthen these essential skills and make learning easier!
