The Importance of Research in Vision Therapy
At Smart Vision Optometry, we believe in the power of evidence-based practice. Our approach to vision therapy and eye care is grounded in the latest research and scientific evidence. This ensures that our patients receive the most effective treatments available.
Our Commitment to Evidence-Based Practice
- Ongoing Research: We continuously engage in and review the latest research in vision therapy and eye care to stay at the forefront of the field.
- Scientific Publications: Our team contributes to and relies on peer-reviewed scientific publications to inform our practice.
- Professional Development: We ensure that our optometrists participate in regular professional development to stay updated with the latest advancements in vision therapy and eye care.
Key Areas of Research
- Vision Therapy: Research supporting the efficacy of vision therapy in treating various visual and learning disorders.
- Eye Health: Studies on the impact of nutrition, lifestyle, and advanced technologies on eye health.
- Technological Advancements: Innovations in eye care technology, such as the Intuitive Colorimeter and Neuro Vision Rehabilitator, and their benefits.
