Vision therapy (Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation), which focuses on treating vision disorders related to eye movements and binocular vision, is experiencing a transformative shift with the integration of advanced technologies like the VTS4-Hololens.
Advanced Treatment and Rehabilitation
This system marks a significant advancement in vision therapy, using augmented reality with 3D hologram targets to bolster binocular vision and eye coordination. Much like workouts improve physical performance, this system provides specific exercises to build neural connections essential for binocular vision. It offers various eye teaming exercises to help the brain and eyes coordinate, so they work better together as a team.The Hololens is used during personalized vision therapy programs that provides an engaging and effective approach for improving visual skills. The immersive nature of mixed reality makes these exercises more enjoyable, increasing patient compliance and improving outcomes.
The Hololens system is highly versatile, catering to a diverse range of visual impairments such as amblyopia, strabismus, and depth perception issues. A standout feature of this system is its ability to simulate realistic sizes of objects, reinforcing concepts of depth and spatial awareness during vision therapy sessions. This innovative approach aids patients in developing a more accurate perception of their surroundings, transforming challenging visual skills into attainable milestones.
Real Time Data and Feedback
During vision therapy sessions, the Hololens can monitor the patient's progress and adjust the difficulty of exercises accordingly. This dynamic approach ensures that patients are constantly challenged at an appropriate level, maximizing the effectiveness of their rehabilitation. Clinicians can also access detailed reports and analytics, enabling them to track progress over time and make informed decisions about treatment adjustments. The ability to receive immediate feedback enhances the quality of care and ensures that patients receive the best possible treatment.
We're proud to integrate the VTS4-Hololens system into our practice, ensuring our patients have access to the best and most advanced treatments!
Did you know you can do FUN eye games on our Virtual Reality system called Vivid Vision? Vivid Vision is a virtual reality treatment tool used in vision therapy to help patients with amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn, wandering eye), binocular vision disorders and problems with eye tracking skills that are important for reading, work, and academic success.
In addition to building our patients visual skills with Vivid Vision in the clinic, you can also enjoy it at the comfort of your own home. With more opportunities to utilize the advanced technology of Vivid Vision, our patients have found faster relief in their visual symptoms such as tired eyes, headaches, double vision and ability to sustain attention longer during school or computer work.
For a patient to succeed with vision therapy, it is crucial for them to do vision exercises and practices at home. This way their eyes internalize good habits and build new neural connections with the brain. Vivid Vision is a system we use for at-home as well as in-office vision training. It helps our patients with convergence insufficiency, amblyopia, and lack of stereo depth perception.
Vivid Vision allows you to play fun virtual reality games that strengthen your vision by teaching your eyes to work with one another. It does this by giving images to both the strong eye and weak eye until both can function together as one. By taking advantage of games and challenges that involve vision therapy, patients not only enjoy coming to therapy appointments, but they also have an easier time remembering to practice at home since the activities are fun. That’s what we call a win-win!
