UAB Eye Care

The Vision Therapy Clinic provides treatment for children and adults with eye teaming, focusing and tracking disorders. These visual conditions include but are not limited to convergence insufficiency, accommodative insufficiency, strabismus, amblyopia and saccadic eye movement (or ocular motor) dysfunction.

These visual diagnoses may occur in normal healthy people or they may be acquired in patients who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion. People with these visual conditions often have symptoms of blur, double vision, headaches, frequent loss of place, poor reading comprehension and eye strain while reading. Often, young patients will avoid reading to reduce the symptoms related to the use of their eyes. Many visual conditions related to the use of eye muscles respond well to vision training.
