Advanced Vision Therapy Center provides assessment and treatment of binocular vision problems and working memory / processing speed deficits. All vision therapy and Interactive Metronome sessions are one-on-one with our Board Certified Occupational Therapist who is specifically trained in vision therapy; and under the direction of Idaho's only Residency trained Neuro-Optometrist.
Advanced Vision Therapy Center is a place for individuals who's needs cannot be met with a general eye examination or prescription glasses alone.
Advanced Vision Therapy Center offers in-depth, specialized assessments to diagnose vision problems that routine eye examinations cannot effectively diagnose or identify. Advanced Vision Therapy Center offers three types of assessments, each tailored to specific areas of visual function:
• Binocular Vision Assessments:
This is an assessment of eye teaming and visual perceptual abilities. Individuals who benefit from a binocular vision assessment often complain of double vision, eyestrain, visual fatigue, or difficulties in school (such as reading, copying from the board, or inconsistent performance). Anyone who has been diagnosed with strabismus (eye turn or wandering eye) or amblyopia (lazy eye) or convergence insufficiency should have a binocular vision assessment.
• Athlete Vision Assessment:
This is an assessment for athletes of all ability level who wish to maximize visual performance. Our team will evaluate your visual abilities as they relate to your athletic demands. For this reason, an athlete vision assessment for a soccer player will look very different than the assessment for a baseball player. Depending on the level of competition the assessment can be position-specific, meaning the assessment for a center fielder will differ from that of the pitcher.
• Neuro-Optometric Assessment:
This is an assessment that investigates the visual effects of an acquired brain injury. Traumatic brain injury (including concussions), ischemic events (such as a stroke), and inflammation of the brain are all considered to be forms of acquired brain injury and as such can affect your vision. During the neuro-optometric assessment, we will determine how your vision, visual skills, and visual perceptual abilities have been affected. More importantly, we will determine how to help you improve and prescribe a treatment plan.
Advanced Vision Therapy Center does not require a referral.
