Remedial Vision Rehabilitation

Designed to treat visual-motor and cognitive-perception impairments, the remedial vision rehabilitation program uses occupation-based therapy to improve performance in important daily activities such as self-care, leisure activities, and vocational skills - improving the overall quality of life.

What We Offer

Following a physician referral for vision evaluation and treatments, patients will receive speci​alized functional vision screening conducted by an occupational therapist with specialty certification in remedial vision rehabilitation. A treatment plan is then customized to assist the patient in meeting his/her individual rehabilitation goals. Remedial vision rehabilitation at MossRehab might include the following: 

  • Functional vision screening including assessment of visual acuity, motor fusion, eye alignment, accommodation, ocular motor skills, visual fields, and visual information processing
  • Individualized treatment plans and home exercise programs
  • Incorporation of specialized vision rehabilitation equipment
  • Integration of the Sanet Vision Integrator (SVI), a high-technology instrument designed for enhancing visual performance. Activities can be tailored to each client to work on their needs: eye movements, eye/hand coordination, visual memory, and visual/auditory integration

Who Can Benefit?

Vision rehabilitation is ideal for adolescents and adults who suffer from vision-related problems caused by a neurological event, such as: traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumors, and other related medical issues.

  • Blurred vision when looking near to far or far to near
  • Visual fatigue and/or headaches
  • Movements of words on the page when reading

  • Difficulties with ADLs that require sustained close work
