Age and Vision Therapy

Vision health is essential at every stage of life, and at Good iSight, Dr. Kalynn Good provides specialized care through vision therapy. Located in Parker, CO, our practice focuses on personalized treatment plans to improve and correct vision issues for children, adults, and seniors. 

What is Vision Therapy, and How Does it Work?

Vision therapy is a customized, non-surgical treatment designed to improve and correct specific vision problems. Through a series of eye exercises and specialized activities, vision therapy retrains the brain to control the eyes more effectively. Dr. Kalynn Good of Good iSight in Parker, CO, uses advanced technology and a compassionate approach to devise individualized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs. This method helps improve visual skills such as eye coordination, focusing, and tracking, enhancing overall visual performance.

What Age Groups Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy at Good iSight is designed to benefit individuals of all ages:

• Children: Children can face various vision challenges that impact their learning and development. Vision therapy can address issues such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), and developmental vision problems. By improving visual skills essential for reading, writing, and other academic activities, vision therapy helps children perform better in school and everyday tasks.

• Adults: Adults may benefit from vision therapy to recover from traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or vision issues like double vision. The therapy enhances visual coordination, eye teaming, and focusing abilities, which are crucial for daily tasks, work performance, and overall quality of life. Vision therapy can also help adults who experience vision problems that interfere with their professional and personal lives.

• Seniors: Vision therapy is effective for addressing age-related vision problems such as presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration. For seniors, maintaining good vision is essential for independence and quality of life. Vision therapy can help improve eye coordination, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance overall visual health, allowing seniors to enjoy their daily activities with better clarity and confidence.

For seniors, common issues such as presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration can significantly impact daily life.  Vision therapy at Good iSight can help seniors maintain better vision health and quality of life by improving eye coordination and visual processing. This non-invasive treatment can reduce the risk of falls, enhance reading and other visual tasks, and promote greater independence.

How long does it take to see results from vision therapy?
