Upon looking for a different way to treat my sight, I found vision therapy, that can apparently treat a multitude of issues. Mine being only one of many more.
Learning disorders, such as ADD or dyslexia can also be treated with vision therapy. In many cases, people with these types of problems, granted the American Optometric Association says that it should be used in conjunction with other treatments, benefit from vision therapy. But learning disabilities can be an issue with the brain not processing what the person sees, which causes them to have trouble focusing on tasks. I have a set of links on this page that, if bored or interested, there are success stories of what has been treated with vision therapy. I think that it may be worth a try, especially for a child with ADD or ADHD, because maybe then, they can avoid medication.
Vision therapy is a series of eye training exercises that teach your brain and eyes to work in conjunction with each other, and teaches your eyes to work together. For people that have problems with eye fatigue, eye strain, focusing on reading, comprehending what they are reading, or understanding math, vision therapy may be something to consider. But if you want, you can let me spend the money and see if it works before you give it a try.
Also, vision therapy can help with anxiety problems as well. Difficulties with our brains processing what we see can also cause us to feel anxiety. One of many factors for most of the people I know with anxiety issues.
