Vision Therapy in Portland, OR
What Is Vision Therapy?
Some people have 20/20 vision but still struggle with reading, attention, or hand-eye coordination because of how their brain processes visual information. Vision therapy helps correct those issues through structured sessions that include visual exercises, in-office equipment, and at-home reinforcement.
Vision therapy can be life-changing for:
- Children with learning-related vision problems
- Patients recovering from concussions or other brain injuries
- Adults dealing with eye strain from screen use or work
- Individuals with amblyopia (“lazy eye”) or strabismus (eye turn)
Why Vision Therapy Matters
Vision therapy addresses the root causes of problems like:
- Reading fatigue and letter reversals
- Headaches and double vision
- Poor depth perception
- Clumsiness or poor coordination
- Trouble tracking moving objects
These issues can often be misdiagnosed as ADHD or learning delays, especially in kids. Vision therapy gives patients the tools to process visual information more clearly, which can lead to better reading speed, focus, academic performance, and confidence.
Signs Your Child Might Benefit from Vision Therapy
- Skipping lines or losing their place when reading
- Tilting their head or closing one eye to focus
- Frequent rubbing of the eyes or squinting
- Trouble catching or tracking objects in sports
- Avoiding close-up work or complaining of eye strain
- Difficulty with reading comprehension despite strong effort
If your child struggles in school or seems frustrated by vision tasks, they may benefit from a vision therapy evaluation.

Eye Tracking & Focusing Exercises
We help strengthen eye muscles and improve your ability to follow moving objects, shift focus quickly, and maintain concentration on visual tasks.
Binocular Vision Training
For patients with amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn), or convergence insufficiency, therapy helps both eyes work together and improves depth perception.

Post-Concussion Vision Rehabilitation
If you’ve experienced a traumatic brain injury, we offer specialized therapy to rebuild visual function, reduce headaches, and support your recovery.
Digital Eye Strain Support
Frequent screen use can lead to eye fatigue, focusing issues, and headaches. We offer strategies and therapies to reduce discomfort and improve visual stamina.
What to Expect During a Vision Therapy Evaluation
- A full visual function exam beyond basic eyesight
- Assessment of eye teaming, tracking, and focusing
- Visual-motor and perceptual skills testing
- A detailed conversation about symptoms, school or work performance, and lifestyle
