Nägemisterapia

Nägemisterapia, also known as vision therapy, is a type of physical therapy designed to improve visual skills and visual-motor abilities. It involves a series of eye exercises and visual training procedures performed under the guidance of a trained vision therapist. The goal of nägemisterapia is to improve specific aspects of vision that may be impaired, such as eye teaming, focusing, eye movements, and visual processing.

This therapy is often recommended for individuals experiencing conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), convergence insufficiency, and other binocular vision dysfunctions. It can also be beneficial for people who have sustained a brain injury or stroke, as it can help retrain visual pathways. Nägemisterapia is not a substitute for corrective lenses or surgery when these are medically indicated, but rather a complementary treatment to address functional vision problems.

The exercises involved can vary widely depending on the individual's specific needs and diagnosis. They might include activities like tracking moving objects, focusing at different distances, coordinating eye movements, and improving depth perception. The duration and intensity of the therapy are tailored to each patient. While some people may see improvements relatively quickly, nägemisterapia typically requires consistent practice over a period of weeks or months. The effectiveness of nägemisterapia is supported by a growing body of research, though it is important to consult with an eye care professional to determine if it is an appropriate treatment option.
