How vision therapy can help
Concussion Recovery
Vision can be compromised from a trauma to the nervous system. Our vision therapy and brain injury treatment can effectively treat many of the visual consequences that result. Symptoms of headaches, blur, light sensitivity, motion sensitivity, reading or screen intolerance and dizziness can all be dramatically improved.
Learning Difficulties
Did you know that 80% of problem readers are deficient in 1 or more visual skills? Vision-related learning difficulties directly affects how we read, learn, or perform in the classroom. Vision Therapy can help individuals who lack the necessary visual skills for effective reading, writing, and school performance.
Sports Vision Training
Strong visual skills are critical to sports success. In sports your eyes instruct your hands and body as to what to do! Sports Vision Therapy can improve dynamic depth perception, hand-eye coordination, peripheral awareness, visualization skills and more.

Okanagan Vision Therapy offers an exciting selection of kids’ eyewear beyond what you’ll find in typical stores. With kid’s glasses ranging from bright and playful to simple and classic, we have frames to suit every child’s unique look and personality. Our team of skilled opticians and eye doctors in Kelowna and the Okanagan are dedicated to finding frames that match your child’s face shape and style. We want your child to leave with glasses that boost both their vision and their confidence.
