Conditions SuccessfulSight™ Can Help Address
Virtual vision therapy — prescribed through a participating optometrist — can support a range of functional vision conditions. Here are the most common reasons families reach out.
Convergence Insufficiency
Also known as: CI, Near Point of Convergence Dysfunction
Convergence insufficiency is one of the most common reasons reading feels harder than it should. It is also one of the most commonly treated conditions in vision therapy — including through a structured virtual program like SuccessfulSight™.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Also known as: Lazy Eye, Amblyopia
Amblyopia — commonly called lazy eye — is a condition in which one eye does not develop normal vision, even with glasses. It is usually diagnosed in childhood and often responds to treatment, which may include vision therapy.
Strabismus (Eye Turn)
Also known as: Eye Turn, Crossed Eyes
Strabismus is a condition in which the two eyes do not aim at the same target together. Depending on the type and severity, treatment may include glasses, prism, vision therapy, surgery, or a combination.
Post-Concussion Vision Problems
Also known as: Post-Concussion Syndrome (visual), Post-Trauma Vision Syndrome
Vision problems after a concussion are extremely common — and often missed. Symptoms like headaches, light sensitivity, and reading trouble can linger long after the initial injury, and vision therapy is a recognized part of recovery.
Visual Processing Disorder
Also known as: Visual Processing Dysfunction, Visual Information Processing Deficit
Visual processing disorders affect how the brain interprets what the eyes see. A child may have perfect eyesight and still struggle with reading, spelling, handwriting, and organizing visual information — often without a clear explanation.
Vision Therapy for Reading Problems
Also known as: Vision-Based Reading Issues, Visual Efficiency and Reading
Reading depends on a lot more than sounding out words. When the visual system is not doing its part, reading can become slow, uncomfortable, or avoided — even for capable readers. Vision therapy can help when visual skills are part of the problem.
Digital Eye Strain and Screen Fatigue
Also known as: Computer Vision Syndrome, Screen Fatigue
More time on screens means more visual demand. When the visual system is not working efficiently, that strain shows up as headaches, fatigue, blurred vision, and trouble sustaining focus. Vision therapy can help when the issue is a real visual efficiency problem, not just tired eyes.
Dyslexia vs Vision Problems: How to Tell the Difference
Also known as: Vision vs Dyslexia, Reading Problems and Vision
Dyslexia and vision problems can look similar — and sometimes they coexist. Understanding the difference matters, because the right support depends on which factors are actually present.
Vision Therapy Is Not a Cure-All
SuccessfulSight™ does not diagnose conditions. All clinical decisions — including whether a patient has a given condition and whether vision therapy is appropriate — are made by a participating optometrist through a comprehensive evaluation.
Some conditions also benefit from additional services beyond vision therapy. A good evaluation helps determine the right combination of care for each patient.
Not Sure Which Condition Applies?
The best next step is a comprehensive evaluation with a participating optometrist who can identify what is actually going on and whether SuccessfulSight™ is the right fit.
