I do think the Vision Therapy has helped my balance because I'm supposed to do a "tracking" exercise that at first made me lose my balance and then as I got better at it, I am supposed to do the exercise with one foot in front of the other - it's surprising to see how much vision affects my balance! Before the accident I was in, I had very good balance - I was in yoga and could easily hold a position and stand on one foot for a prolonged period of time and at work I would crawl around in ceilings and on catwalks and truss in the air and since the accident just walking down the street has been difficult! My balance has gradually gotten better over the last couple of years until doing this vision therapy I have seen a much more rapid and thorough improvement of my balance in only a couple of weeks.

My vision memory was not tested - I was only given a one hour evaluation instead of a five hour evaluation. The Dr. I went for the evaluation told me she would suss out other stuff I needed during the treatment/therapy sessions. I think because the evaluations are an ongoing part of the therapy they wanted to save me some money by doing it this way, but I'm not sure.
