Computerized Vision Therapy
Programme India
Clinician-monitored digital programmes deliver evidence-based rehabilitation from home, with weekly therapist oversight and objective progress tracking. The CITT trial confirmed internet-monitored therapy achieves outcomes equivalent to in-office treatment for convergence insufficiency.
What Is Computerized Vision Therapy?
Computerized vision therapy uses evidence-based software platforms - including HTS, VTS4, and dichoptic training systems - to deliver structured visual exercises via screen. Each session is recorded with timestamp, duration, and performance data reviewed weekly by your clinician.
Unlike generic eye exercise apps, these programmes are prescribed for a specific diagnosis, progress systematically, and are monitored by a FCOVD/FOVDR-certified optometrist. The oversight - not the location - is what produces clinical outcomes.
Why Monitored Programmes Work
- Weekly clinician review of every session log
- Difficulty auto-adjusts to performance data
- Effective for convergence insufficiency, amblyopia, and oculomotor deficits
- Serves all 28 Indian states and 20+ countries via telehealth
Who Benefits from a Computerized Programme?
Key indicator: If in-clinic visits are impractical due to distance, work schedule, or travel limitations, a monitored home programme achieves equivalent outcomes when clinician oversight is maintained.
- Convergence insufficiency - headaches and eyestrain during reading
- Amblyopia (lazy eye) requiring daily antisuppression training
- Binocular vision dysfunction after concussion or TBI
- Oculomotor deficits affecting reading fluency
- Patients outside Chennai or outside India (NRI)
- Adults with busy schedules requiring flexible programme timing
Computerized Vision Therapy - How It Works
A structured programme prescribed for your diagnosis - not a generic exercise app.
Online Consultation and Assessment
A detailed intake covering your visual, medical, and developmental history. Depending on your condition, we conduct a remote functional vision screening or arrange one in-clinic visit to establish baseline measurements.
Bespoke Programme Design
Your programme is prescribed specifically for your diagnosis - exercises, tools, frequency, and progression are all customised. A kit guide details any equipment needed, usually minimal (red-green glasses, printed targets).
Weekly Supervised Video Sessions
Weekly video calls allow your clinician to observe technique, correct errors, and advance difficulty. This supervision is what separates a clinical programme from unmonitored home exercises.
Progress Monitoring and Discharge
Software logs every session. Progress is tracked against objective norms and the programme adjusted accordingly. A discharge summary and maintenance plan are provided on completion.
Computerized Vision Therapy FAQs
Is computerized vision therapy as effective as in-clinic therapy?
Research published in Optometry and Vision Science shows internet-monitored therapy for convergence insufficiency achieves outcomes equivalent to office-based treatment with weekly monitoring. The CITT demonstrated that structure and professional oversight - not physical location - drive results.
What equipment do I need for a home programme?
Most programmes require a laptop or desktop (13-inch screen or larger), red-green anaglyph glasses supplied by our clinic, and a reliable internet connection. Some programmes use polarised glasses or printed targets we also supply. A full equipment list is provided before you start.
How long does a programme last?
A standard programme runs 12-16 weeks. Convergence insufficiency typically resolves within 12 weeks; amblyopia programmes may run 20-24 weeks depending on suppression depth. Each week involves 20-40 minutes of daily exercises and a weekly clinician review.
Can children use computerized vision therapy software?
Yes. Most platforms are designed for children from age 6 with gamified exercises and reward systems. Parents participate in younger children's sessions. The software records every session with performance data reviewed weekly to keep difficulty appropriately calibrated.
