At Amarillo Neuro Vision, we specialize in diagnosing and treating functional vision problems that impact how the eyes and brain work together.

Many of these conditions are often missed in routine eye exams, leaving patients struggling without clear answers. Vision therapy provides a path forward.





Conditions Treated with Vision Therapy in Amarillo

Targeting the root cause of visual challenges—not just the symptoms.

You can have 20/20 vision and still struggle with how your visual system functions.

Issues with eye coordination, tracking, and processing can affect reading, learning, focus, and even physical comfort. Our goal is to identify these challenges and treat them at their source.





When Vision Is More Than Just Eyesight

Convergence insufficiency occurs when the eyes have difficulty working together when focusing on near tasks like reading.

Common symptoms:
  • Double vision
  • Eye strain
  • Difficulty reading for long periods
  • Losing place while reading




Convergence Insufficiency

How vision therapy helps:

Vision therapy strengthens the eyes’ ability to work together, improving comfort and reading efficiency over time.



Eye tracking issues make it difficult for the eyes to move smoothly and accurately across a page.

Common symptoms:
  • Skipping lines while reading
  • Using a finger to keep place
  • Slow or inconsistent reading
  • Difficulty with comprehension




Eye Tracking Disorders

How vision therapy helps:

Therapy improves control and coordination of eye movements, making reading more fluid and less frustrating.

Amblyopia, often called “lazy eye,” occurs when one eye is weaker than the other, causing the brain to favor one eye.

Common symptoms:
  • Reduced vision in one eye
  • Poor depth perception
  • Eye coordination issues




Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)


How vision therapy helps:

Vision therapy works to strengthen the weaker eye and improve coordination between both eyes—often without relying solely on patching.
Strabismus is a condition where one eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward instead of aligning properly.

Common symptoms:
  • Visible eye turn
  • Double vision
  • Difficulty with depth perception




Strabismus (Eye Turn)



How vision therapy helps:

Therapy focuses on improving eye alignment and coordination, helping the eyes work together more effectively.
Double vision occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned, causing two images instead of one.

Common symptoms:
  • Seeing two images
  • Eye strain or discomfort
  • Difficulty focusing




Double Vision (Diplopia)



How vision therapy helps:

By improving alignment and coordination, vision therapy helps the brain combine images into a single, clear picture.
Visual processing issues affect how the brain interprets what the eyes see, even when eyesight is clear.

Common symptoms:
  • Trouble understanding what is read
  • Difficulty with memory and visual information
  • Struggles with organization or copying work




Visual Processing Challenges



How vision therapy helps:

Therapy strengthens how the brain processes visual input, improving comprehension and performance.

After a concussion or head injury, many patients experience visual symptoms that can interfere with daily life.

Common symptoms:
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty focusing
  • Headaches with visual tasks




Post-Concussion Vision Issues



How vision therapy helps:

Vision therapy supports recovery by retraining the visual system and reducing symptoms over time.

These conditions often go undiagnosed because they aren’t always detected in a standard eye exam.

At Amarillo Neuro Vision, we take a deeper look—evaluating how your entire visual system functions to uncover what may be holding you back.
