Welcome to Vision Therapy

Dr. Debbie Luk is Calgary’s only board-certified and residency-trained developmental optometrist and is the official eye doctor for the Calgary Flames.

About Vision Therapy Institute of Calgary

Patients are seen by referral for conditions such as eye-tracking disorders, lazy eye (amblyopia), and eye turn (strabismus, convergence insufficiency).

We also provide evaluations of visual efficiency and visual processing for individuals with reading or learning disabilities, as well as those recovering from traumatic brain injuries. If any visual deficits are found, we provide neuro-optometric vision therapy and rehabilitation, prisms, tints, and/or glasses prescriptions.

For patients interested in enhancing their visual performance, we offer Sports Vision Training. Over the years, we have worked closely with Hailey Wickenheiser, Hockey Alberta, Olympic athletes, and the Alberta Amateur Baseball Council.

What is Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy is an individualized neuro-optometric rehabilitation program designed to improve visual function. The goal is to enhance eye tracking, focusing and teaming abilities as well as eye-hand coordination and visual processing speed. Vision therapy provides patients with the foundation to read, learn and play sports at their full potential.

Does your Child Have a Vision Problem640x350

Pediatric Vision

Note: Children under 5 years old can sometimes be recommended for at-home therapy if they can follow instructions and communicate

Our doctors and vision therapists love working with infants and kids. We have several child-friendly instruments we use to obtain a reliable and thorough assessment. Also, we are very patient, compassionate and adaptable to your needs. We want to ensure that our young patients feel happy, calm and comfortable.

Vision Therapy for Adult

Adult Vision Therapy

Vision Therapy is not only for children; adults have just as much of a need. Vision Therapy is effective for adults, especially if they are motivated to improve their visual abilities. There is no age limit to improving visual skills — the brain retains the ability to adapt and change throughout life, thanks to neuroplasticity.. We can help patients with specific visual conditions like amblyopia, strabismus, or TBI — including those who also have special needs.
