Vision Therapy Questions - 10/14/16 05:17 PM
Hello All,
Could anyone explain to me the effect poor vision development has on near-sightedness? The doctor (new doctor - not our past VT doc) indicated to me today that near-sightedness is a compensation for muscles not relaxing, so the vision therapy has not been effective in preventing the nearsightedness. I am very confused as I thought eyesight was more a function of the shape of the eye. I kind of left feeling a bit of a failure to DS as he now needs glasses in addition to his various therapies.
Thanks!
