What Are Functional Vision Exams?
Functional vision exams are specialized evaluations that assess how well the eyes and brain work together, not just how clearly a person can see. Unlike routine vision exams that check for visual acuity and eye health, functional vision exams focus on the visual skills required for reading, learning, coordination, and daily life. At Better Brain Vision Therapy in Arvada, CO, Dr. Shadaanan Singh offers functional vision testing to identify issues with tracking, focusing, depth perception, and visual processing, often uncovering the root cause of symptoms missed in standard eye exams.
How Do Functional Vision Exams Work?
The exam process begins with a detailed patient history and symptom questionnaire. The actual testing includes a variety of assessments designed to evaluate multiple visual functions. These may include binocular vision (how well the eyes work together), visual memory, peripheral awareness, vision-vestibular integration, and visual-spatial relationships. Tests also explore how patients perform under visually demanding conditions. The results provide a complete picture of the patient's visual system and guide the development of a targeted vision therapy plan to improve real-world function.
What Are the Benefits of a Functional Vision Exam?
A functional vision exam can help detect and correct subtle visual deficits that impact daily life. Key benefits include:
- Identifying binocular vision dysfunction (eye teaming issues)
- Assessing visual memory and visual-spatial processing
- Revealing problems with depth perception and focusing
- Supporting treatment for reading challenges, ADHD, and post-concussion symptoms
- Guiding personalized vision therapy for long-term improvement
- Enhancing academic performance, concentration, and visual comfort
