Notice!

We’ve enhanced our protocols for our patients’ health and safety, which is our number one priority. Before arriving, please let us know if you are experiencing any symptoms of the Coronavirus or if you have been in close contact with someone that has COVID-19. Symptoms can include coughing, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or a new loss of taste or smell. Because fever is a common sign of COVID, we are required to check your temperature with a non-contact thermometer when you arrive.

Additionally, for the safety of everyone in the office, we ask that you please come alone or limit the number of people that accompany you to one person, if possible. Also, please wear a cloth face covering or facemask. We’ll ask that you clean your hands with hand sanitizer upon entering the office and try to maintain a 6 foot distance from other patients and customers.

We have also applied specific guidelines for vulnerable members of the population, so that they feel comfortable in our office. As needed, Sumner Vision team will make special accommodations to minimize risk of exposure based on individual needs.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.

  • Visual Rehabilitation

Accurate vision is an important part of performing well at work, school, and in other everyday activities. In certain cases, however, medical conditions or injury may lead to visual impairment. For individuals with functional limitations resulting from visual impairment, visual rehabilitation can improve or restore everyday abilities. The most effective model for visual rehabilitation is one in which a patient receives input from his or her optometrist, medical doctor, psychologist, neurologist, and other allied health professionals to create an individualized visual rehabilitation plan.

Visual Rehabilitation Procedures

Visual rehabilitation involves constructing an individualized treatment plan to address each person’s unique issues. In some cases, this may involve occupational therapy to make a person’s environment easier to navigate. For many patients, however, vision therapy offered by an optometrist is an excellent way to improve or fully restore visual functioning.

Analogous to physical therapy for the vision system, vision therapy involves special exercises designed to retrain eye-brain circuits to perform more normally.  Patients may be asked to view objects through special prism lenses, focus on an object as it moves, coordinate eye-body movements, or perform computerized tasks. Over time, these exercises improve visual deficits and reduce functional impairment.
