Vision Therapy Services
Vision therapy is a precise process using cutting edge techniques and activities based on the latest neuroscience. But don’t worry—it’s our job to boil all that science down into results. Your job is to commit to the journey and get ready for your life to change.
While we don’t ask patients to understand the logistics behind vision therapy programs, many are still curious about how it works.
There are a few things you might be wondering about vision therapy.
On the services page, we’ll give a brief overview of the four stages of our vision therapy programs and the nuts and bolts of what it’s like to be a patient at our clinic.
Our Philosophy
Dr. Dawn doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all Vision Therapy.
We believe every patient deserves an individualized treatment program. Some Behavioural Optometrists practice one recipe for all – fifty sessions or bust!. Our patients may love us (and we love them too 😊), but why do fifty appointments if fifteen gets the job done?
We start with foundational vision skills because the eyes truly tell the body what to do and where to go (even if the brain thinks it’s in charge).
We incorporate Primitive Reflex activities (skills that begin before you are even born) into our programs. These are involuntary movements in response to stimulus and are essential for a baby to control their head while integrating sounds and vision. They are crucial to developing into a fully functioning human.
Each stage of development (rolling, crawling, walking, etc.) is affected by the timely integration of primitive reflexes. If they haven’t integrated within the appropriate time frame, it is vital to revisit the missing developmental stages.
Few clinics tackle primitive reflexes, but they’re a big deal – and we’re experts. Once those issues are sorted out, we can prescribe the most effective course of treatment for the best results!

Vision Therapy For Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Like strabismus, it’s never too late to treat amblyopia, so why not get started today? I know that there is this myth out there that after a critical period (age 7 or 8), that nothing can be done. However, that came from the early 1900s. I think we’ve learned a lot...
