We watch how your eyes move. No drops, no bright lights.
Vision Therapy in Vancouver, WA
A page that stays still. An aisle you can walk down. We train the eye movement skills a concussion or a stroke knocked loose, one-on-one with a licensed Occupational Therapist, every visit.
What It Is
20/20, and still the problem.
The eye exam came back clean. You still cannot read half a page without the words sliding, and the cereal aisle makes you want to sit down on the floor. Both of those are true at once, and that is not you imagining it.
Seeing sharply is one job. Teaming, tracking and shifting focus are different jobs, and they are the ones a concussion or a stroke tends to disrupt. When the two eyes stop working as a pair, your brain spends all day quietly correcting for it. That correction is the headache. It is the nausea in the grocery store. It is why twenty minutes of screen empties the tank.
Say this part plainly: this is not an eye exam. We do not measure your sight, we do not write prescriptions, and we are not a substitute for your optometrist or your ophthalmologist. Keep seeing them. What we do is train the movement skills, tracking, teaming and focus shift, against the reading, the screens and the rooms that actually bother you. Those skills are trainable. That is the whole point.
Not an eye exam. Keep your eye doctor.

Vision Therapy rarely works alone.
Questions, Answered
Vision therapy, answered plainly.
It depends on which skills are affected and how much symptom you can tolerate at the start, so we will not put a number on a web page. You get a plan with an endpoint instead. The four phases run in order, Pain, Prime, Perform and Prevent: calm the symptoms first, then train the skill, then load it against reading, screens and busy rooms, then keep it. You will always know which phase you are in and what earns the next one.
Most of our patients arrive by physician referral, often from a concussion clinic, a neurologist or an eye doctor, and many insurance plans require one before they will pay. We are glad to work alongside your optometrist or ophthalmologist rather than around them. Call us at (360) 989-1200 and we will tell you what your plan actually requires.
Very likely. The full payer list lives on our Insurance page and it is long: Regence BCBS, Medicare, PacificSource, Moda, auto insurance and Washington L&I are all on it. We verify your exact benefits before your first visit and tell you what we find, so the bill is not a surprise. Call (360) 989-1200 if you want us to start that today.
