Vision Therapy
For Visual Skills in Kelowna
We start developing visual skills in childhood, fine-tuning our skills as we grow. And, just as other skills are important for life, visual skills are crucial to almost everything we do.
Vision therapy is a cornerstone of our approach to enhancing patients' visual and neurological health. The body is a complex system, with the brain working in tandem with other parts of the body to produce function and movement. If the brain and eyes don’t work together as a team, vision therapy may be needed to help correct this. Think of it as physiotherapy for the eyes, which is visual skills training and improvement exercise.
What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy at A B See Optometry and Vision Therapy in Okanagan is more than just eye exercises. It’s an evidence-based practice that aims to retrain vital visual skills. Most importantly, we offer customized vision therapy programs tailored to each patient. As a result, everyone’s treatment plan will look a little bit different depending on their needs.
At a visual skills assessment, Dr. Capo will evaluate more than just your vision. We’ll assess how well your eyes work together as a team, depth perception, eye focusing, eye tracking, and more.
Once we determine if vision therapy may be right for you, we’ll develop a treatment plan that includes a combination of in-office procedures led by a doctor and at-home work to help solidify your skills.

The Benefits of Vision Therapy for Your Brain
Our vision therapy programs are designed not just to improve overall brain-eye coordination but also your overall quality of life. By enhancing visual perception and the way your brain processes what you see, vision therapy can boost daily performance and comfort. This is important for children with learning disabilities or patients recovering from a traumatic brain injury, as improved visual function often leads to better academic performance and smoother recovery outcomes.
Does My Child Need Vision Therapy?
Children’s learning and development rely on their visual skills. So, if they’re struggling in school, it may be a sign that there’s a vision issue at play.
The following issues may indicate that your child needs an appointment with our optometrist in Kelowna to discuss vision therapy:
- Poor reading comprehension
- Holding books close to the face while reading
- Short attention span with close-up tasks
- Losing or misplacing items
- Clumsiness and knocking things over
- Skipping or repeating lines while reading
If you notice any problems with your child’s learning, booking an appointment can help to rule out a vision condition.
