Ophthalmology | Pediatric Vision Therapy

Beaumont Child Vision Therapy assists your child in addressing vision problems and improving their visual skills. Our progressive program of vision procedures is provided by an occupational therapist through one-on-one treatment for your child, with each session running approximately 45 minutes in length. Your child’s therapist meets with the pediatric optometrist, as needed, to review your child’s progress and discuss any pertinent treatment techniques. In addition, your child’s therapist will collaborate with other specialists also involved in your child’s care to create a comprehensive treatment approach.
