Thérapie visuelle
#ThérapiePourLesYeux
La thérapie visuelle est un plan de traitement conçu pour corriger et améliorer les troubles spécifiques au système visuel. On entraîne les yeux et le cerveau à travailler mieux en équipe.
Dr Lima est à la tête du programme de thérapie visuelle chez Nuvo. Il a étudié à l’Université d’Ottawa avant d’obtenir son doctorat en optométrie du collège Michigan College of Optometry à l’Université Ferris State University, où il a été diplômé avec mention du doyen.
Comment fonctionne la Thérapie visuelle ?
Essentiellement, nous entraînons le cerveau à comprendre l’information visuelle différemment à l’aide d’une série d’exercises menée par notre équipe spécialisée pendant des sessions de thérapie ici en clinique. Ainsi, le patient peut constater une grande amélioration lors des activités quotidiennes comme la lecture, le sport ou même pour marcher en ligne droite !
Comment peut-elle Aider ?
La thérapie visuelle comprend le traitement des troubles de la motilité oculaire, les troubles de la vision binoculaire, le strabisme, l’amblyopie, les troubles d’accommodation et certains troubles de lecture, d’apprentissage, de coordination et les repères spatiaux. Elle peut aussi être efficace pour soigner les problèmes oculaires et visuels liés à un traumatisme cérébral.

« … Growing up, I figured out that I do not see in stereo or 3D. This means I don’t see depth the say way the average person with “normal” vision sees. After seeing my youngest son navigate certain obstacles like steps and floor transitions, I suspected he too didn’t see in stereo.
As soon as Nuvo launched their Vision Training program, I signed up my son to be their first patient to participate in the VT program.
During the six-week, 12 session program, Dr Lima had Scott perform various physical chores all while doing visual tasks. As a dad who knows exactly what it is like to not see in 3D, I knew what the benefit of these physical challenges presented. I found myself watching some of the activities Scott was doing with Dr Lima and could not believe how successful Scott had become. I even asked to try some of them because I just couldn’t believe how efficient Scott had become at training his brain to receive and interpret the signals from both of his eyes at the same time.
After seeing the success my 11-year-old son had with Binocular Vision Training at Nuvo Eye with Dr Lima, I have asked to be assessed to see if the program would be successful with my eyesight.
A heartfelt thank you from Scott and I for helping him see more clearly. »

« Thank you, Dr Lima, for restoring my binocular vision. My loss of depth perception had been so gradual that I hadn’t realized it had gone; but having it back is benefitting me in many practical ways. I’d wondered why many tasks had suddenly become so difficult – like catching a ball, threading a needle, or parking the car. Since completing the therapy, I can do all these things much more easily. I’ve even been able to enjoy a 3D movie for the first time. My renewed sense of spatial awareness means I can see accurately where objects are; so, instead of tentatively reaching out to something until I feel my fingers touch it, I can just pick it up with confidence. It’s remarkable how much more real everything looks to me now. I feel like I’m truly participating in the world around me instead of just watching it. »
