Nashville, TN — OPMT Vision Centers are running a campaign to highlight their vision therapy program, which is a cutting-edge approach designed to enhance visual skills, improve eye coordination, and address common vision problems. This new program is available at all OPMT locations and is suitable for patients of all ages, especially those struggling with learning-related vision issues, eye strain, or sports performance. With their emphasis on improvements that can be made, OPMT reaffirms their commitment to patient care that goes beyond standard prescription updates in the optometric field.
“Vision therapy is much more than correcting eyesight,” said Dr. Richard Durocher, O.D., who is the owner of OPMT. “It is about retraining the eyes and brain to work together more effectively. Realigning the optic nerve with the brain, we can help patients overcome a range of visual challenges, such as reading difficulties, eye alignment issues, and even poor hand-eye coordination. When the brain and eyes work harmoniously together, patients notice the massive difference.”
The OPMT Vision Therapy Program is designed to address several conditions, including amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), and convergence insufficiency (difficulty focusing up close). The comprehensive program also can assist patients dealing with visual problems caused by traumatic brain injuries. Through personalized treatment plans, patients can improve their visual processing skills and enjoy better performance in everyday activities such as reading, driving, and sports.
“Many patients are unaware that vision therapy can solve issues that go beyond needing glasses or contact lenses,” Dr. Durocher added. “For instance, children who struggle in school may benefit from therapy that enhances their ability to focus, track objects, and process visual information. I know parents often struggle to find the source of why their children may be having issues, which is why our team are trained to identify issues that can be helped with vision therapy during regular eye exams.”
Vision therapy is a non-invasive, personalized treatment program that uses a series of exercises and tools to strengthen the connection between the eyes and the brain. Unlike traditional eye care methods, vision therapy addresses how well the eyes work together and how the brain interprets visual information.
Treatments include a customized combination of computer-assisted visual activities, specialized lenses, and eye exercises conducted under the guidance of an eye care professional. Benefits of vision therapy include improved eye coordination and focus, enhanced reading and learning abilities, reduction of eye strain and fatigue, strengthened visual processing and perceptual skills, and a boosted athletic performance through improved hand-eye coordination.
For patients with amblyopia and strabismus, vision therapy is one of the few non-surgical options for treating both adult and pediatric patients suffering from the conditions. Both can result in coordination concerns as well as poor depth perception or even double vision. Vision therapy is also an option for those with digital eye strain, with vision therapy helping alleviate symptoms such as blurred vision and headaches. Athletes benefit from vision therapy as it can also improve reaction time and overall visual skills. Dr. Durocher is noted in the area for his pioneering in the field and use of the latest technologies to bring patients relief and a greater quality of life.
OPMT Vision Centers are taking appointments for new and existing patients.
