Visual Perceptual Evaluation

Once you or your child has been identified as a patient that may benefit from vision therapy, you will need to have further testing for visual processing. This “Visual Perceptual Evaluation” testing is approximately one and one half hour to two hours. Dr. Odineal uses the results of this testing to determine the diagnosis and prognosis of you and/or your child as well as the expected treatment length, and to individually plan the therapy.

Below are the various aspects of vision that may evaluated. Because vision is a learned skill, our vision therapy expert in Auburn, California can train and improve the accuracy and efficiency of visual perception through a program of vision therapy.

When to be book a perceptual testing at In Depth Vision Optometry?

Dr. Corinne Odineal recommends perceptual testing to be done in the morning before the eyes and brain are tired from a full day of school or work. We also like to do this testing at a time that the child has good attention and has eaten a good, high protein meal. We try our best to fully engage the child and not to make them over-tired. If your child needs a break, or to have the testing finished on another day, we will recommend this to get the best results possible. We do not “rush” the child. They should have ample time to finish. We find that the child has enough variety of activities during the testing that they are able to finish in one testing appointment 90% of the time.
