Vision rehabilitation

Vision rehabilitation that we provide at the Grawitacja Center is an early support for the development of a child with vision problems. Sight is a sense that undergoes development and is subject to therapy and rehabilitation. Visual function in infants and partially sighted children does not develop spontaneously, so treatment and training should be initiated as early as possible. The process of eye stimulation and learning to see in various conditions is extremely important for a child. The therapy is aimed at children from 4 months of age.

Who is vision therapy for:

  • infants and children with visual impairment (e.g. congenital cataract, achromatopsia, optic atrophy / underdevelopment, high myopia, retinal degeneration, strabismus, etc.),
  • premature babies in combination with the immaturity 
    of the visual system,
  • children with cerebral palsy,
  • infants and children with neurological disorders,
  • infants and children diagnosed with genetic defects,
  • infants and children after brain injuries and infections,
  • learning problems (resulting from, among others, accommodation disorders, eye movement disorders, convergence disorders).
  • deterioration of vision as a result of the disease, incl. diabetic retinopathy, infections, injuries
  • impaired eye-hand coordination

Rehabilitation activities include:

  • supporting the development of children at risk of developmental delays for damage to the organ of vision,
  • developing eyeball motor control skills while playing with toys appropriately selected to the child's visual abilities,
  • developing basic visual functions also by increasing the mobility of the eyeballs (fixation and locating the stimulus, tracking it, transferring fixation),
  • learning to understand spatial relations between objects in the environment, dealing with a disturbed sense of depth,lack of spatial vision,
  • developing visual perceptual functions such as: comparing and identifying objects and their pictorial representations, internal details, colors, shapes, visual memory, abstract figures and signs, visual complementation, synthesis and visual analysis, etc.,
  • strengthening the ability to use visual and perceptual skills during motor games,
  • developing orientation in the body schema and the environment.
