Default Any Experience with Vision Therapy

Does anyone have any input or experience with vision therapy.

One of my kids was referred to a Vision Therapy Clinic for an initial eval
and I wasn't going to make the appointment because it sounded like a crock
Then someone I know and respect said it was the real deal so now I'm
wondering what others think.


no experience, I had to google it to check it was the same as what I
thought it was, actually, thinking about it again, maybe I did it myself
as a kid, I never had a patch, but I have vague recollections of the
optician teaching me to do some different things - problem is, I don't
know what my problem was so I don't know if it got cured! Though I did
stop wearing glasses for a bit before needing them again for short
sightedness and astigmatism. I don't see why it wouldn't help with some
problems, I mean there are a lot of muscles around the eye, so plenty of
scope for changing how they work - I'd at least get the assessment and
find out how much they think they can help etc.

Cheers
