Improving vision does not always go through glasses or contact lenses. Sometimes you can improve visual performance or correct dysfunctions through visual therapy.
These types of personalized therapies fuse optometry with behavioral psychology or neurosciences and have nothing to do with improving visual acuity.
The role of the brain in vision, the key to vision therapy.
Visual information processing is not done by the eye, but by the brain. On it falls the final responsibility to process the information around us and to share this information with areas that control hearing, muscles, language, or balance, among many others.
“We often find totally healthy eyes in patients with very disparate problems, all related to how vision is being processed in the brain.”
Hanan Haulani
Visual Therapy Specialist at The Perfect Sense
Visual therapy not only modifies the way in which the eyes work but also how all our senses do it in coordination, without forgetting that 80% of the information in the world enters us through the eyes.
