Vision Therapy in London, Ontario
A doctor-supervised program that trains how your eyes and brain work together — for children who struggle with reading, adults with screen fatigue, and people with vision problems after a concussion.
What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is sometimes described as physiotherapy for the eyes and brain. Good eyesight — seeing 20/20 on a chart — is only part of how vision works. Your eyes also need to team together, track smoothly, and focus quickly for reading, learning, sports, and everyday tasks to feel effortless. Vision therapy is a structured, doctor-prescribed program of in-office and take-home exercises that trains these visual skills.
Conditions We Assess and Treat
Eye Teaming & Tracking
Convergence insufficiency, lazy or crossed eyes (amblyopia and strabismus), and difficulty keeping both eyes working together as a team.
Reading & Learning
Skipping or re-reading lines, losing your place, poor reading comprehension, and visual skill gaps that get mistaken for attention or learning difficulties.
Concussion & Brain Injury
Blurred or double vision, dizziness, light sensitivity, and reading fatigue following a concussion or traumatic brain injury.
Who We Help
Children
Struggling in school, avoiding reading, or getting headaches with schoolwork can point to an underlying visual skill deficit rather than a learning or attention problem.
Adults
Screen fatigue, headaches, and difficulty focusing after long hours on a computer are often signs that your visual system needs retraining, not a stronger prescription.
Athletes & Concussion Patients
Athletes who want to train reaction time and depth perception, and patients with vision problems after a concussion.
What a Vision Therapy Program Looks Like
Every program starts with a comprehensive evaluation of your visual skills — well beyond a standard eye exam — to identify exactly where the breakdown is happening. From there, Dr. Suwala or Dr. Buxton designs a personalized plan of in-office sessions and home reinforcement exercises, often paired with neuro-functional glasses. Progress is tracked and the plan is adjusted along the way, so treatment stays matched to how you're actually responding. No referral is needed to get started, and the assessment fee is the same for every patient.
