Does your child have an eye that sometimes turns outward? Vision therapy may be an option.

A randomized clinical trial compared part-time eye patching with office + home-based vision/orthoptic training for children with intermittent exotropia.

After 6 months, children receiving active training showed greater improvements in several important binocular vision skills, including:

✓ Eye-teaming ability
✓ Control of the outward eye turn
✓ Convergence
✓ Depth perception

The important message for parents?

An eye can see 20/20 and still have difficulty working together with the other eye.

For some children with intermittent exotropia, vision therapy may be an option to actively develop how the two eyes coordinate and work together.

If your child has an eye that turns out, experiences double vision, closes or covers one eye, or struggles with eye teaming, a binocular vision assessment can help determine whether vision therapy may be appropriate.

📞 Contact our office to learn more or book an assessment.

Treatment recommendations depend on the individual child and clinical findings.

Purpose: To compare the effect of combinational office-based and home-based orthoptic training regimens with part-time patching in participants with intermittent exotropia. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial study, patients with a diagnosis of IXT were involved and randomly....

“Neither doctor ordered a fundoscopy, an eye exam"

A fundoscopy — commonly performed as part of a dilated eye examination — allows us to examine the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve at the back of the eye.

This heartbreaking case of a 32-year-old man is an important reminder that an eye exam can be about much more than glasses or seeing 20/20.

Changes at the back of the eye can sometimes provide important clues to neurological and systemic disease. In situations like this, an eye examination may provide another opportunity to identify concerning signs and prompt further investigation or urgent referral.

Eye exams aren't just about how well you see. They can be an important part of your overall healthcare.

Please don't wait for your vision to change to have your eyes examined.

Is it just a sore eyelid, or could it be an internal stye?
An internal hordeolum is an infection of one of the oil glands inside the eyelid. It often causes pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness, and may feel like a lump hidden within the lid.
Warm compresses can help encourage drainage, but persistent, worsening, or recurrent styes should be assessed by an eye care professional.
If your eyelid is painful, swollen, or your vision is affected, don't ignore it—get it checked.
