| Connecticut Vision Therapy Better Vision through eye exercises!!!! Pediatric Optometry, Bifocal Contact Lenses, Glasses, Glaucoma, Cataracts, Health Disorders, Hartford County, Clearly Seeing. The purpose of this site is to give a little background of what we do, and to help inform you of the many aspect's involved in vision. Vision is more than the ability to read 20/20 letters on an eye chart. Vision is the culmination of many different eye and head movements. Vision is the accuracy of an optical image being processed into neurological signals. Vision is the ability to compose those neurological signals into cognitive images. Vision is the ability to efficiently focus at an object and relax focus after viewing is finished. Vision is closely related to balance, and if the middle ear and the visual system are not in agreement, poor balance and vertigo may occur. Vision is depth perception, color detection, shape recognition. Vision is structural anatomy of the eye, optics, and ocular health. Vision is eye-hand coordination and dexterity. Vision is being able to look at an object or printed words and store it into memory. If any of the above are not working efficiently, vision is compromised, and many signs or symptoms may occur. Many times, poor grades and trouble in school are indicators of vision related learning problems. Fluctuating vision or headaches can indicate focusing problems. Headaches, double vision, poor reading comprehension, poor attention skills, poor depth perception, or utilization of only one eye often arise from poor eye alignment (convergence or divergence). Clumsiness, poor balance, poor reading, poor attention skills, and difficulty with sports may be due to inaccuracy of eye movements. Trouble with puzzles, games, or construction may be derived from poor shape recognition. Fortunately, most of these problems can be trained by Vision Therapy. Vision Therapy is composed of eye exercises. These exercises train the efficiency of each aspect of the visual system, and teaches the patient to combine all components.
Rocky Hill Eye AssociatesThe Rocky Hill Eye Associates are dedicated to providing comprehensive eye exams. Dr. Goldstein takes pride in providing thorough exams that include: vision testing, pupil testing, automated visual field screening (peripheral vision testing), eye movement and alignment evaluation, focusing evaluations, color vision testing, prescriptions for spectacles or contact lenses (or both), health evaluation of the eye and surrounding structures, photographs of the retina and internal structures of the eye, etc. This allows a quality evaluation and plenty of time for answering questions. Dr. Goldstein is licensed in Advanced Optometric Care and specializes in ocular headaches, ocular fatigue syndrome ( from computers or other tasks), learning related vision disorders, therapy to improve vision, low vision, infant and children's vision, and poor vision from traumatic brain injuries. Each patient enrolled in vision therapy, has a custom made regiment, and is followed closely through each session. Progress evaluations occur routinely, and patients stay informed of their achievements.

Pediatric Optometry is
very important in development of the eyes. Pediatric optometry should be
performed on every patient at 6 months old, 2 years old, and then 6 years old.
After the age of 6, the patient should return yearly. If developmental
abnormalities are discovered early, a child can usually be corrected. Some
common pediatric abnormalities are congenital cataracts (born with), large
differences in refractive error (different prescriptions between the two eyes),
congenital glaucoma, Lazy Eye, and many other problems that may go undetected
until the child becomes older.
