Why do you need HTS vision therapy?
HTS is ‘fitness training’ for your eye muscles.
Vision Therapy is not a ‘seeing’ problem, so glasses alone won’t fix the problem. It’s an eye muscle problem. Eyestrain is caused by the visual demands of modern living.
The muscles of the eyes must work together as a team -- learning to focus and relax as needed. If the eye muscles are not coordinated, they fatigue. The result can be eyestrain symptoms. Eye exercises can improve how your eye muscles work and relieve your symptoms.
HTS Computerized Home Vision Therapy is fun and easy.
It’s a 3D computer game !!
The computer automatically increases the challenge based on your improvement. The computerized HTS Home Vision Therapy program is tailored to your own personal binocular problem.
You can do HTS at home, at school, or at your office, wherever you have a computer, about five times a week. Most patients finish the program in 4 to 6 months. Then you do weekly maintenance sessions – to reinforce your new skills.
Upon successful completion of therapy, the eyes function more comfortably and efficiently as a team. The symptoms will be eliminated or significantly reduced. Near vision tasks will become more enjoyable and rewarding, with longer attention span – and better comprehension.
Family Eye Centre:
Family Eye Centre (Sydney) provides the HTS program.
Our optometrist, Russel Lazarus, has post-graduate qualifications in Vision Therapy, in both Australia and USA. Assessments at the Family Eye Centre can explain vision therapy in more detail and assess whether vision therapy will be of benefit.
