Experience the Best Eye Care

Expert Eye Care Services at Dr. Mathangi Arun Optometry

At Dr. Mathangi Arun Optometry, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of eye care services to every patient.

For our special patients, we offer a desensitization visit—an optional appointment designed to help them feel more comfortable. During this visit, patients can explore the office, meet our team, and become familiar with the environment before their actual eye exam, which is scheduled for a later date. There is no additional charge for this service; it’s simply our way of ensuring your family member feels at ease.

We take the time to understand each patient’s unique needs and preferences, and we work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to those specific requirements.

How Vision Therapy Can Help Children with Special Needs

Vision therapy can be particularly beneficial for children with special needs, such as those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or ADHD. These children often experience underlying vision issues that can exacerbate their challenges with learning, behavior, and social interaction.

 

Research shows that improving visual function can enhance learning, social interaction, and overall quality of life for children with special needs. However, Vision Therapy isn’t suitable for everyone. That’s why we conduct thorough assessments to determine whether your child is a candidate for Vision Therapy or if alternative vision care solutions may be more effective.

Here’s how vision therapy can help

Improving Visual-Motor Integration

Improving Visual-Motor Integration

Improving Visual-Motor Integration

 Special needs children may struggle with hand-eye coordination and fine motor tasks like writing or catching a ball. Vision therapy strengthens these skills, helping them perform daily activities more effectively. 

Enhancing Focus and Attention

Improving Visual-Motor Integration

Improving Visual-Motor Integration

 Conditions like convergence insufficiency or difficulty focusing on near objects can make it hard for children to sustain attention. Vision therapy trains their eyes to work together properly, improving focus during tasks like reading or homework. 

Supporting Sensory Integration

Improving Visual-Motor Integration

 Many children with special needs experience sensory processing challenges, which can include visual overload or difficulty interpreting visual stimuli. Vision therapy can help reduce these issues by improving the brain's ability to process and respond to visual information. 

Addressing Binocular Vision Problems

 Struggles with depth perception or eye alignment, common in children with special needs, can affect movement and balance. Vision therapy strengthens binocular vision, improving their ability to navigate their environment. 

Boosting Confidence and Independence

Tailored Interventions for Unique Needs

 By improving visual function, vision therapy helps children build the confidence to participate in classroom activities, play with peers, and perform self-care tasks. 

Tailored Interventions for Unique Needs

Tailored Interventions for Unique Needs

 Vision therapy programs are highly individualized, which makes them suitable for addressing the specific challenges of children with diverse abilities.
