Vision Therapy in Lakeport
At Konocti View Optometry, we offer vision therapy in Lakeport to help improve your vision and overall quality of life. Vision therapy is a customized program designed to enhance eye coordination and treat a variety of visual issues.¹ If you struggle with double vision or other binocular vision issues, our experts are here to help.
Vision therapy for children
When vision therapy is started early enough in children, it can prevent amblyopia (lazy eye) from developing, correct amblyopia before it becomes permanent, and, in some cases, avoid the need for strabismus surgery altogether.
Many vision problems in children—especially binocular vision dysfunction (BVD)—can be mistaken for learning difficulties. A child who struggles to read, loses their place frequently, or avoids close work may have an underlying vision problem, not an attention or learning disability.
Vision therapy can not only improve a child’s vision, but it can also help them at school. When the eyes work together more effectively, reading and writing become easier and more comfortable.
Vision therapy for double vision in Lakeport
Double vision, also known as diplopia, occurs when you see two images of a single object instead of one.² It happens when your brain receives mismatched signals from each eye, making it difficult to form a single, clear image. Common causes include eye muscle weakness, nerve damage, or underlying health conditions.
Using vision therapy, we can strengthen the eye muscles and improve eye coordination, reducing or eliminating double vision.
Our experienced optometrist will begin with a comprehensive eye exam to identify the cause of your double vision. Based on the diagnosis, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include:
-
Eye exercises
-
Specialized lenses
-
Visual training techniques
In addition to treating double vision, our vision therapy programs can address other vision challenges such as:
-
Lazy eye (amblyopia)
-
Tracking difficulties
-
Convergence insufficiency
Online binocular vision therapy
For added convenience, we also offer online binocular vision therapy. This remote program allows you to enhance visual skills such as eye coordination, focusing problems, and depth perception.
You can complete the therapy at your own pace with guided exercises and interactive activities. These activities are designed to help strengthen your visual system, all from the comfort of home.

Frequently asked questions about vision therapy
What is vision therapy?
Vision therapy is a structured, doctor-supervised program of visual activities designed to correct certain vision problems and improve visual skills. Unlike glasses or contact lenses, vision therapy trains the eyes and brain to work together more effectively. Programs are personalized to each patient’s specific diagnosis and goals.
How long does vision therapy last?
The length of a vision therapy program varies depending on the condition being treated and how each patient responds. Many programs range from a few months to about a year, with weekly in-office sessions and exercises to practice at home. Dr. Boyd will give you a better estimate after your initial evaluation.
Is vision therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan. Some medical insurance plans cover vision therapy when it is medically necessary, while vision-only plans may not. Our team can help you verify your benefits and understand your out-of-pocket costs before beginning a program.
