Help Your Child See Their World Clearly Starting Today
If your child has trouble concentrating on homework, gets tired when reading, or avoids sports that require hand-eye coordination, it might not be a behavior issue and it could be a vision issue. And not the kind that glasses alone can fix. At Navigation Eye Care, we offer pediatric vision therapy in Chesapeake to help children overcome hidden visual challenges and unlock their full potential.
Let’s walk through what vision therapy looks like and how it might just be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.
What Is Pediatric Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised program that retrains how the eyes and brain work together. For kids, it’s like physical therapy for their visual system. This is especially helpful for children with:
- Trouble focusing on reading or schoolwork
- Difficulty tracking words across a page
- Frequent headaches or eye rubbing
- Skipping lines while reading
- Poor hand-eye coordination
Unlike glasses or contacts, which correct for clarity, vision therapy builds function by improving how well the eyes work as a team.
How It Works: Step by Step
At Navigation Eye Care, we make pediatric vision therapy simple, structured, and even fun. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Evaluation
It all starts with a specialized assessment by our Eye Doctor to identify visual processing or tracking issues. We go beyond a basic eye chart exam and look at how your child’s eyes function during real-world tasks like reading, writing, or catching a ball. - Personalized Treatment Plan
If therapy is recommended, we’ll create a plan tailored to your child’s specific needs. Each session targets the skills they need most like focusing, eye teaming, or depth perception. - Weekly In-Office Sessions
Therapy sessions are typically once per week, guided by trained professionals who know how to keep kids engaged. - At-Home Support
We send home easy exercises to reinforce progress. It’s a team effort, and we’ll cheer you on every step of the way.
Why Pediatric Vision Therapy Matters
Here’s the truth: kids don’t always know how to say “my eyes aren’t working right.” They might just say “I hate reading” or “school is hard.” But behind those words could be an underlying vision problem that makes everyday tasks frustrating.
With pediatric vision therapy in Chesapeake, we’ve helped children:
- Improve reading speed and comprehension
- Boost confidence in the classroom
- Enjoy sports without frustration
- Stay focused longer on schoolwork
- Feel proud of themselves again
And yes, we’ve had more than a few moms say, “I wish we had done this sooner.”
