Do your eyes feel tired, jumpy, or strained after hours at the computer or scrolling through your phone? You might assume a new pair of glasses or blue‑light filters will solve the problem, but sometimes visual discomfort is rooted deeper—in how your eyes work together. At Through the Hayes Eye Care, our vision therapy programs are designed to enhance visual coordination and relieve persistent symptoms linked to modern screen use.
What Is Digital Eye Strain—Really?
Digital eye strain often involves headaches, blurry or double vision, dry eye, and general fatigue. But in many cases, the underlying cause isn’t poor eyesight alone—it’s how the eyes team, focus, and track across a screen. These binocular skills are taxed during prolonged near work, especially in children, students, and professionals—impacting comfort and performance.
Through the Hayes Eye Care offers vision therapy to strengthen these visual abilities—going beyond lenses to create lasting relief and improved performance.
Signs Vision Coordination Might Be Strained
- Frequent eye rubbing or blinking during reading or device use
- Skipping words or losing place while reading from screens
- Headaches or tired eyes during homework or work
- Difficulty focusing when looking between near and far items
- Needing to use glasses for more than just distance or reading
Why Vision Therapy Helps
Vision therapy is like “physical therapy” for the eyes—it uses targeted exercises and training tools to improve how the eyes move, align, and focus together. Unlike simply wearing glasses, therapy programs aim to retrain visual muscles and neural connections for better efficiency and endurance—especially during screen-heavy tasks.
By improving binocular coordination and tracking, vision therapy reduces the effort your eyes must exert when reading, watching, or working, helping minimize eye strain and discomfort.
What Vision Therapy Looks Like at Our Clinic
Through the Hayes Eye Care offers customized therapy programs designed to fit busy schedules. Sessions may involve:
- Near-far focusing games to improve flexibility

Our team monitors progress and adjusts difficulty as your visual skills improve—supporting you in and outside the office for longer-lasting screen comfort.
Is Vision Therapy Right for You?
If you’ve tried glasses, blue-light coatings, and ergonomic adjustments but still experience visual fatigue, headaches, or focus issues, vision therapy may be the missing piece. It’s particularly effective for:
- Children and teens with school-related strain
- Professionals with long screen hours
- Patients recovering from visual trauma or concussion
Through the Hayes Eye Care also provides routine exams and digital health screenings to identify who would benefit most from therapy—so you don’t waste time guessing.
