Helping Kids Learn, Grow, and Thrive
At North Shore Eye Health & Wellness, we know that vision is more than just 20/20 eyesight. For children, strong visual skills are essential for reading, writing, attention, and learning. When the eyes and brain are not working well together, school can become frustrating and tiring.
Vision therapy is a customized program that strengthens how the eyes and brain communicate. Think of it like physical therapy for vision. It helps children improve focus, coordination, and reading comfort.
If your child struggles to stay focused, feels frustrated with homework, or has trouble reading, vision therapy may help. Book a consultation today in Cedarburg, Grafton, Mequon, Jackson, Saukville, and surrounding areas to see how this program can support your child’s success.
Vision and Learning Go Hand in Hand
Most classroom learning depends on vision. Even if your child can see clearly on a standard eye chart, they may still have difficulty with how their eyes move, focus, or work together. These issues can affect reading, attention, and confidence.
Vision therapy can help with:
- Tracking words across a page
- Shifting focus from a book to the board
- Eye coordination and teamwork
- Visual comprehension and memory
- Concentration during schoolwork
When these skills are weak, kids may be mislabeled as “struggling learners,” “careless readers,” or even “lazy,” when in reality their visual system may be working overtime.
How Vision Therapy
Helps
Our programs are tailored to each child. Through guided exercises and one-on-one sessions, we improve visual function and comfort. Therapy may include:
- Eye-tracking and focusing exercises
- Eye-hand coordination and visual memory games
- Computer-based or hands-on activities
- At-home exercises to reinforce progress
Parents are part of the process, and we will keep you informed as your child’s visual skills improve.
When to Consider Vision Therapy
Children often cannot explain their struggles. Look for signs such as:
- Headaches or tired eyes after reading
- Losing place or skipping lines
- Mixing up letters or words
- Difficulty copying from the board
- Avoiding homework or reading activities
If these seem familiar, a vision evaluation can identify whether visual skills are contributing to the challenge.
Find Answers and Relief with NeuroVisual Medicine
Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)can be present from birth, develop after a concussion or head injury, or occur due to neurological conditions. It is often misdiagnosed as migraines, anxiety disorders, ADHD, or inner ear problems.
NeuroVisual medicine is a highly specialized area of eye care that focuses on BVD, a condition where the eyes struggle to work together as a team. This misalignment can be so subtle that it is often missed in routine eye exams, yet it can cause significant symptoms that affect daily life.
Supporting Lifelong Visual Success
Vision therapy is about more than improving eyesight. It helps children reach their full potential. Stronger visual skills can boost confidence, make reading easier, and support learning.
Our team may also work with other professionals, such as occupational therapists or educators, to help your child receive complete support.
If your child struggles with focus, reading, or visual comfort, we are here to help. Schedule a vision therapy consultation today and take the first step toward better learning and easier vision.

What Patients Are Saying
My daughter came in with complaints of cloudy vision. Every person we encountered was friendly and professional. I could tell my daughter was comfortable during every test throughout her visit. Dr. assured both of us that her complaint was nothing to worry about!
Relieved and happy with our experience here!
Anne J.
As a new patient, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect.
My previous experiences had been with large chain eye centers and those experiences were hit or miss. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at North Shore Eye. They were friendly and thorough with their examinations and Dr. Ross was extremely
knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend!
Amy S.
Extremely knowledgeable, has flexible hours that have allowed me to go in after work. Very prompt in his
responses and overall very friendly environment.
Lauren D.
The most up to date equipment with the most personal care from any optometrist I’ve ever gotten. I would recommend him to anybody who has a complex prescription and hasn’t had good luck with other doctors.
Geoff R.
Dr. Ross and staff were very helpful. When I had a terrible eye infection, Dr. Ross evaluated my eye, prescribed me the proper meds, and scheduled a follow-up to make sure everything was going as expected. Overall, I was very impressed with the level of care and would recommend North Shore to anyone who needs to see an optometrist.
