By David Meyer


This is a learning process which is incorporated to children at their developing stage, who lacks the ability to clearly see and relate to things around their immediate environment. It then calls for a process of training where the kids are taught how to visualize and relate to their world and not to just see. Even those who have an accurate sight might require this training. The following is what developmental vision therapy SW MI entails.

Eye examination. The first thing that is undertaken during this process is an eye exam. For proper diagnosis to be done, the child in this case must receive a good examination that will help the doctor to bring out the problem clearly. A good treatment plan that sees the correction of the problem can only be adopted if good examination is taken into account. This is also important to ensure that no assumptions are made during diagnosis.

Prescriptions are carried out. Through a well qualified, experienced and specialized physician to the problem seen in the above process, prescriptions are made. These may entail a treatment plan and also a strict follow up to the problem to ensure that the treatment is going through the right direction. This prescription should be in line with the diagnosis made and that is why a prior eye examination is to be done whenever such problems are experienced.

The course duration. Different problems will require different course duration for them to be completely rectified. These all validate the important of a proper diagnosis. A specialized physician is to do the prescription and assign the right period that treatment is supposed to occur to ensure relevant results are obtained. Less complex conditions can take a minimum duration of 6 months to a maximum of 12 months while those more complex might exceed a year.

Appointments that are made. There is a series of appointments that a patient is supposed to follow to the hospital. These are made where the patient individually meet up with a specialized therapist in the area. Apart from giving the treatment, the therapist will also track if the treatment plan is going through the right way. Corrections are made where possible and also emphasis are done correctly. These sessions occur for forty five minutes.

Home prescriptions are done too. Apart from the appointments that one is supposed to attend in the hospital with a therapist, there are also those home activities that a patient is supposed to undertake. These prescriptions facilitate the attainment of the required results and hence their following are mandatory. They always involve some activities that take place everyday for twenty minutes. May be assisted by a parent or can be done individually.

Incorporation of motivation. As explained above, this process might be very involving and demanding. It hence tells you that success is not to be achieved by those who give up easily. It therefore calls for one to have both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation so as to make it through the treatment process.

The success of the program. The program success depends on a lot of factors which should be taken note on and the patient should be made aware of. These include the motivation talked in the paragraph above and also a strict follow up to the prescription and other treatment plans made.
