Vision Therapy for Lazy Eye on CBSNews.com
The therapy described in this new study is a variation of the therapy we have been doing in our VCDC office for years. It is so good to see more research validating what we have already seen in the office.
""When we get the two eyes working together, we find the vision improves," study author Dr. Robert Hess, director of research in the department of ophthalmology at McGill University in Montreal, said to the BBC. "It's much better than patching, much more enjoyable, it's faster and it seems to work better." Hess believes the study shows that amblyopia is caused by both eyes, and focusing on treating one eye may cause more harm. Teaching both eyes to work together may be more beneficial at re-wiring the weaker eye on how to work." Make an appointment today! Call

All too often, people find our office after suffering for years. If someone you know is struggling with a vision problem, please share that we can give him or her the tools for success.
