VT is not easy. The process of going through vision therapy was tedious and painful -- lots of repetitive exercises and fights to get them done. My DD finished her weekly visits in about 8 months and continued other exercises for about 3-4 months. She was supposed to continue them periodically but this got harder and harder once we no longer saw the therapist.
Was it worth it? For us, yes. an independent optometrist evaluated DD and showed that her ability to focus improved over 200 per cent from baseline. DD's tracking ability improved to the point where she no longer needs to read with an index card to help her keep her place. DD says that the words no longer "move" or "run off the page." We saw a significant decrease in headaches and fatigue. A year and half later she has not regressed.
