Did you know that eye exercises may be a better option for an eye turn (strabismus) than surgery? Did you know it may be possible to improve vision with a lazy eye through vision therapy? Did you know that fine tuning your visual system can sometimes provide you with the split second timing you need to excel in your chosen sport? It is estimated that 20% of children and adults have a vision problem which interferes with optimal function. Many measure 20/20 sight yet have an undetected vision problem which will reduce the ability to achieve full potential. What is Vision Therapy? Vision Therapy is a treatment program designed to eliminate visual problems, reduce visual stress and discomfort, and increase visual performance. It is like physical therapy for the eyes and brain; a highly successful non-surgical treatment for many conditions such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, convergence insufficiency, and some reading and learning disabilities. At Cape Cod Vision Associates, vision therapy provides the visual abilities necessary for more efficient learning and performance in all areas of life. To find out more:

When opacities develop in the lens and the lens gets too hazy, vision will be impaired. Cape Cod Vision can diagnose and manage cataract care. Our office co-manages with cataract specialists that are proven experts in cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery can provide you with a bright new world of vision. Glaucoma Glaucoma gradually destroys the optic nerve tissue in the back of the eye. The greatest danger of glaucoma stems from the fact that the disease is painless and without obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Cape Cod Vision always monitors for glaucoma during routine eye examinations. Tests include checking the pressure of the eye, screening for peripheral vision defects and analyzing the appearance of the optic nerve. Most forms of glaucoma are successfully treated with eye drops. Laser treatments and eye surgery are secondary treatments that offer alternative ways to treat more advanced glaucoma. Diabetes Diabetes often stimulates the growth of new blood vessels in the back of the eye, which ultimately leak and damage the retina. If this condition is discovered early, laser treatment can destroy these vessels. We have the latest instruments used to detect changes in the back of the eye. If we discover advancing diabetic eye disease that can be treated or needs further evaluation, we will refer you for consultation and further testing to a board certified retinal specialist. At Cape Cod Vision, diabetic patients have a dilated retinal examination each year.
Is Lasik Right For You? Most people with vision correction issues are wanting to know more about LASIK and whether it is right for them. Here is a brief description of the procedure; A flap is surgically cut in the cornea and gently folded back. An Excimer Laser is used to reshape the cornea into a flatter shape (this is much like a contact lens corrects vision by forming a new shape on the cornea). The flap is then put back in place, acting like a natural bandage. The healing process is quick and the discomfort level is quite low.
People will often say that they did not feel anything, and could see well the very first day. Most people have improved vision in 24-48 hours. but it must be noted that each person will heal at a different rate. Vision, although greatly improved immediately after surgery, often continues to improve for some weeks, even months. Because everyone's eyes are different,LASIK is not for everyone. If you are interested in laser vision correction, we will be happy to evaluate you and guide you in picking the best surgeon. After the procedure, our unsurpassed post-op care involves monitoring your eyes and adjust your medication for the best possible results. Dr.Child, in association with Dr. Michael Oats and Dr. Ann McColgin from the Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston are please to offfer laser vision correction to the patients of Cape Cod Vision Associates.
