At Upper Grand Eye Care, we offer a specialized vision therapy program designed to enhance visual skills and improve overall visual comfort for our patient. Our non-surgical approach targets various vision-related conditions and dysfunctions, providing tailored solutions to meet individual needs. 

At Upper Grand Eye Care, we prioritize understanding our patients' unique visual needs through a comprehensive 2-step assessment process.

STEP 1: Vision Information Processing Testing

STEP 2: Binocular Vision Processing Testing

• Weekly appointments at a specified time.

• Each session lasts 50 minutes and it includes the following:

  1. Customized Exercises: Targeting specific visual skills and abilities, guided by trained vision therapists.

  2. Syntonics: Incorporating light to optimize visual function.

  3. The patient is expected to practice their exercises at home, at least 4x/week. This will reinforce the skills learned during therapy sessions.

• Sessions are booked in blocks of 10.

• After each block of 10, there is a progress check with the doctor to assess improvements and challenges.
