Are you facing visual challenges post-COVID-19 recovery? You’re not alone. Studies have revealed that many long COVID patients report visual issues that negatively impact their daily lives.
At Child and Family Vision Center in Ankeny, we recognize the repercussions of long COVID or post-COVID on vision. We want to show you how we can help address these concerns through effective vision therapy.
Impact of Long COVID on Vision: Common Visual Issues
After recovering from COVID-19, some people continue to experience ongoing issues called long COVID. This can trigger diverse health issues, including vision-related complications. Several individuals encounter the following symptoms:
Blurred Vision: Post-COVID, many individuals face difficulties maintaining clear vision, experiencing blurriness affecting their daily activities.
Light Sensitivity: Some people report increased sensitivity to light after recovering from COVID-19, making it uncomfortable to be in bright environments.
Focus Issues: Long COVID can result in challenges focusing on objects or tasks, impacting concentration and productivity in daily life.
How Vision Therapy Offers Relief
Vision therapy, a customized program, aims to enhance visual skills and alleviate post-COVID visual challenges. Through tailored exercises, we can improve the following areas:Strengthening Eye Coordination: Vision therapy helps your eyes team up properly (eye coordination). This means they can work together more smoothly to give you a clearer view. This can help you read more easily, and you might notice less trouble following moving objects.
Enhancing Focusing Abilities: This means you can pay attention more easily, enabling you to see things more clearly and keep your focus longer.
Improving Visual Processing Skills: Vision therapy helps improve how your brain understands what your eyes see (visual processing skills). This means you’ll understand and see things more clearly and quickly. Recognizing faces or figuring out where things are in space gets easier.
