Silmäterapiaan

Silmäterapiaan, often translated as "eye therapy" or "vision therapy," is a non-surgical, behavioral treatment program designed to improve visual skills. It involves a series of eye exercises and activities tailored to the individual's specific needs, often prescribed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The goal is to retrain the eyes and brain to work together more effectively, addressing issues such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), convergence insufficiency, and other binocular vision problems.

The exercises can range from simple eye movements and focusing drills to more complex activities involving balance boards, digital displays, and specialized equipment. The duration and frequency of therapy vary depending on the condition and the patient's progress. While often associated with children, silmäterapiaan can also be beneficial for adults experiencing visual difficulties due to stroke, head injury, or other neurological conditions. The effectiveness of silmäterapiaan is supported by research, and it is considered a valuable approach for enhancing visual function and improving the quality of life for individuals with visual impairments.
