Optometric Vision Therapy is an individualized therapeutic and rehabilitative program prescribed to provide treatment for diagnosed visual dysfunctions. OVT teaches the eyes, brain, and body to work better together. Through neuroplasticity, we can teach children and adults how to effectively move, team, and focus their eyes in addition to strengthening their ability to process visual information (also known as visual information processing). The goals of the prescribed treatment program are to alleviate signs and symptoms of visual dysfunctions, meet the patient’s needs, and improve their quality of life.
Students will provide support for the optometrists and optometry student interns. They will accompany professionals into therapy sessions and do things like prepping the room for patients, taking notes, ensuring that handouts and materials remain in supply, welcoming patients, and possibly some additional administrative tasks. Students might also be asked to assist in compiling information for handouts, pamphlets or articles. This is an excellent opportunity to learn as a real part of the process.
