Utah Vision Development Center
Your Whispering Sands Eye Doctor
About Us
At Utah Vision Development Center, we provide astounding vision therapy treatments to clients of all ages. We believe in ensuring our clients receive essential vision therapy in order to remedy their vision problems. In addition to the services that we provide, we also tend to clients that have learning disabilities as well. The two (vision therapy and learning disabilities) work hand in hand with each other.
Our clients trust us with providing them non-surgical treatment for their eyes and brain capabilities. Vision therapy is utilized for a variety of common visual problems such as (but not limited to) double vision, crossed eyes, lazy eye, learning/reading disabilities, and convergence insufficiency.
What we offer as solutions to our clients are successful exercises/procedures that remedy the current problem. When we refer to “exercises” as one of the solutions we utilize, this does not necessarily mean we are trying to strengthen your eye muscles specifically. These types of exercise for your eyes are meant to assist in improving your vision, as your eyes are already strong as is.
