Vision Therapy Through Vital Vision Therapy
Vision is about more than seeing clearly. The eyes and brain need to work together efficiently for comfortable reading, learning, focus, coordination, and everyday visual function.
Through our partnership with Vital Vision Therapy, 20Twenty Eyecare provides individualized vision rehabilitation programs for children and adults experiencing visual function challenges. Each therapy plan is customized based on the patient’s specific needs, goals, and how their visual system is functioning.
As one of only a few clinics in Montana offering dedicated vision therapy services, our team provides personalized care in a focused, supportive environment designed specifically for vision rehabilitation.
If you or your child is experiencing visual challenges that may go beyond glasses alone, schedule an evaluation to learn whether vision therapy may help.
What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a personalized treatment program designed to improve how the eyes and brain communicate and function together. Rather than simply correcting vision with glasses or contact lenses, vision therapy focuses on strengthening visual skills and improving visual efficiency.
Treatment plans are based on each patient’s specific visual deficits and goals. Programs are supervised by a developmental optometrist and supported by trained vision therapists.
Vision therapy can benefit both children and adults experiencing a wide range of visual function challenges.
Vision Therapy for Kids and Adults
Vision therapy is not just for children. While many younger patients benefit from therapy during important developmental years, adults can also experience meaningful improvements in visual function and comfort.
Children may struggle with:
- Reading comprehension
- Attention during schoolwork
- Eye tracking or focusing
- Coordination and visual processing
Adults may experience:
- Eye strain and fatigue
- Double vision
- Difficulty focusing after a concussion or injury
- Visual discomfort during reading or screen use
Our goal is to help patients improve how they use their vision in daily life, learning, work, and activities.
Conditions Vision Therapy Can Help Address
Vision therapy may be recommended for conditions and visual challenges, including:
- Amblyopia (lazy eye)
- Strabismus (eye turn or crossed eyes)
- Convergence insufficiency
- Double vision
- Binocular vision disorders
- Vision-related learning difficulties
- ADHD, ASD, and other learning or cognitive differences
- Sports performance and visual coordination
- Traumatic brain injury and concussion recovery
- Stroke recovery-related visual challenges
Every patient responds differently, which is why treatment plans are carefully individualized.
What to Expect During a Vision Therapy Program
Every vision therapy program begins with a detailed assessment to understand how the eyes and brain are functioning together. Most therapy programs are structured in:
- 2 sessions per week
- 8-week treatment units
- Many patients complete two eight-week units, depending on their needs and goals
Some adult therapy programs may vary based on the condition being treated. At this time, therapy is provided in person only, and virtual programs are not available.
Throughout the process, progress is monitored closely so treatment can be adjusted as visual skills improve.
A Dedicated Vision Therapy Team for Kids and Adults
Visual challenges can affect more than just eyesight. When the eyes are not working together properly, activities such as reading, learning, sports, driving, and screen use can become frustrating and exhausting.
Through our partnership with Vital Vision Therapy, we provide individualized vision rehabilitation programs designed to improve visual comfort, coordination, and performance for both children and adults. Programs are guided by a developmental optometrist and supported by trained vision therapists in a dedicated vision therapy environment.

Testimonials
I had a great experience at 20twenty eyecare from start to finish. Dr. Blom and Cora were friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work with. Cora was fantastic when helping me pick out and fit my frames. She picked out frames that would best suit my face and made sure everything fit comfortably. I’m really happy with my experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

I was very well taken care of at 20Twenty. Dr Blom and the staff were great. I felt the exam was very thorough and not rushed. Dr Blom spent a lot of time with me and was very good at explaining my tests. I would highly recommend him. He has also taken excellent care of my daughter. Much appreciated.
