Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a growing concern among children worldwide, including here in Canada. It's a vision condition where objects up close appear clear while those further away are blurry. This issue isn't just about thicker glasses or stronger prescriptions; it's about the potential risks of significant eye health problems in the future, such as glaucoma or retinal detachment. As a parent, the health of your child's eyes is undoubtedly a priority, and managing myopia effectively can help ensure better vision for their future.

Learning disabilities can present significant hurdles for children, affecting their academic progress, self-esteem, and overall development. While various interventions and support systems are available, one approach that has garnered recognition and success is vision therapy. Vision therapy offers targeted exercises and activities to improve visual skills and address underlying visual issues that may contribute to learning difficulties. InDepth Vision offers various services, including routine eye exams and emergency eye care. Vision therapy provides a solid foundation for maximizing learning outcomes by identifying and strengthening areas of weakness. This blog explores the advantages of vision therapy for children with learning disabilities.

Our eyes are our windows to the world, allowing us to experience the beauty and wonders surrounding us. Maintaining good eye health is vital for our overall well-being and quality of life. Therefore, we must prioritize the care and well-being of these precious organs. Regular eye exams conducted by experienced optometrists are fundamental to optimal eye health. At InDepth Vision, we provide our patients with exceptional eye care. These exams go beyond a simple vision check; they involve comprehensive evaluations that detect and prevent possible eye conditions, update prescriptions for clear vision, and even identify early signs of underlying health problems. In this blog, we will explore the significance of regular eye exams and optometrists' invaluable role in preserving and protecting our vision.

Vision therapy, a specialized program designed to improve visual skills and treat various visual disorders, goes beyond the traditional notion of simply correcting eyesight. It is a comprehensive approach to visual rehabilitation that targets specific areas of visual function and enhances overall visual performance. We at InDepth Vision offer full optometry services like routine eye exams, emergency eye care, and contact lenses. By employing customized exercises and techniques, our vision therapy clinic aims to optimize the efficiency and accuracy of visual information processing. In this blog, we will explore the broader benefits of vision therapy and shed light on why it is more than just a means to correct eyesight.

It is estimated that 80% of children’s classroom learning is visual (i.e. copying from the board, reading, spelling)1. Successful learning requires an individual’s eyes, brain, and body to work together as a team. When they don’t, even someone with 20/20 eyesight can have trouble gathering, processing, and responding to visual information.

As I spoke about in my last two articles, vision is much more than 20/20. In fact, there are more than 12 visual skills that all come together to make up our vision1. It is the amalgamation of these skills and brain processes that give us the ability to make a meaningful interpretation of what is seen. Vision is learned, we are not born with these visual skills. We develop vision through interaction with our environment.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!
