Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy can help with a wide range of eye coordination and visual processing challenges that affect learning, comfort, and performance. Some of the most common conditions treated include:
- Amblyopia (lazy eye) – improving visual acuity and eye teamwork.
- Strabismus (eye turn) – training the eyes to align and focus together.
- Convergence insufficiency – difficulty maintaining focus on near objects, such as while reading.
- Eye tracking and focusing problems – improving smooth and accurate eye movements.
- Visual processing and perception issues – strengthening how the brain interprets what the eyes see.
Vision therapy often helps children with reading or learning difficulties. Adults seek therapy after a concussion, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, or when they experience persistent eye strain or double vision.
Sports Vision Training in Reno
Sports vision training is a specialized form of vision therapy that focuses on enhancing visual abilities that directly impact athletic performance, such as depth perception, reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and peripheral awareness.
Whether you're a student athlete, weekend competitor, or professional, sports vision training can help you improve visual speed, accuracy, and consistency. We tailor each program to the visual demands of your sport, helping you make faster decisions, track moving objects more effectively, and maintain better focus under pressure.
Who Can Benefit from Sports Vision Training?
Sports vision training is ideal for athletes of all levels who want to improve their visual performance in competition. This includes:
- Younger athletes looking to build foundational visual skills

No matter the sport, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, or others, enhanced visual processing can lead to quicker reflexes, better timing, and improved confidence during play.
The Benefits of Vision Therapy
The goal of vision therapy is to develop strong, efficient visual skills that support success in reading, learning, work, and sports. Patients often notice improvements in focus, reading speed, comprehension, depth perception, and overall visual comfort.
Every program is engaging and goal-oriented, with measurable progress tracking. We work closely with each patient to ensure that the skills developed during therapy translate into real-world improvements in daily life.
