A Vision Therapy Program, Designed Just for You
Vision therapy is a comprehensive treatment plan aimed at improving visual skills, like physical therapy for your eyes. A typical appointment involves a series of exercises or procedures under optometrist supervision that focus on improving skills like eye movement control, eye coordination, depth perception, and visual accommodation.
At Lakeland Family Eyecare, we work with vision therapy clinics to make sure you or your family member gets the support you need. Our optometrists can assess visual skills and provide a referral to vision therapist as needed.
If you have questions about vision therapy or think you or a family member could benefit from it, please book an appointment with one of our optometrists.
Who Can Benefit From Vision Therapy?
From children to adults, many people can benefit from vision therapy. Various vision conditions can be treated or improved with regular, consistent vision therapy. These include:
- Strabismus (crossed eyes)
- Amblyopia (lazy eye)
- Sports vision improvement
- Reading and learning disabilities
- Double vision
- Focusing difficulties
- Binocular coordination difficulties
- Neurological disorders or trauma
Determining Your Vision Therapy Treatment
Before you can begin your vision therapy program, we need to see you for a comprehensive eye exam. Once the optometrist has evaluated your overall eye health and vision, they can refer you to an appropriate vision therapy clinic.
Vision Therapy for Children
Although visual skills can be improved at any age, they’re especially beneficial for supporting a child’s visual development. Children rely on these skills to learn and grow. If any are lacking or poorly developed, your child may find school difficult and stressful.
Vision therapy is noninvasive and has rehabilitative benefits. It’s designed to improve the neural activity between the eye and brain, which can enhance your child’s ability to read and learn.
Please contact us to find out if your child will benefit from a vision therapy program.

As you may already be aware, Alberta Health Services has recently cut back coverage on optometry services. These changes were unexpected. We are extremely disappointed with their decision and how they handled bringing about this change.
To maintain the high quality of care that you have come to expect at our clinic, there will now be a fee for most eyecare services that were previously fully covered by AHS. If you would like to know how this affects you, please call our clinic at 780-826-4437 and one of our team members would be happy to assist you. You are also welcome to contact your local MLA to voice any concerns you may have with these changes in coverage.
Thank you for your understanding and your continued support.
