Vision therapy is a personalised programme of eye exercises to improve how your eyes work: how they focus, how they coordinate with each other and with your hands, and how you process what you see.
It is recommended when there are focusing or coordination problems that are not fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses. It is prescribed and supervised by an optometrist, and it does not hurt: these are exercises, not a procedure.
FocusingSwitching from near to far quickly and effortlessly.
Binocular visionGetting both eyes to coordinate and work together.
Eye trackingFollowing moving objects or a line of text.
Hand-eye coordinationPrecision in sports and manual tasks.
When to consider it
Signs that something is not quite right
If any of these sound familiar, tell us. The first step is to check your eyes and see where it comes from.
You find it hard to focusUp close, far away or when switching from one distance to another.
Blurry vision that comes and goesEspecially after reading for a while.
Tired eyes with screensEye strain when reading or working on the computer.
Headaches when readingOr when writing and doing close-up tasks.
Double vision up closeOne of the symptoms of convergence insufficiency.
You find it hard to concentrateOn visual tasks that need sustained attention.
What about children? Watch out if they…
Frown or get very close to books and screens.
Complain of headaches when reading.
Find it hard to follow objects with their eyes.
Squint, rub their eyes or cover one eye to read.
If you are worried about an eye that turns or sees less, get it checked as soon as possible: a lazy eye is best treated at a young age.
What it is for
Vision problems it works on
Every case is different. Some also need an ophthalmologist, and we will tell you clearly.
Focusing difficulties
Problems adjusting your vision between distances. Focusing exercises help you switch from near to far more easily.
Convergence insufficiency
The eyes do not coordinate well when looking up close: tiredness, blurry or double vision and headaches when reading. It is treated with convergence exercises guided by a specialist and at home; improvement usually takes 12 weeks or more.
Eye strain
Tired eyes from constant overexertion, very common if you spend many hours in front of screens.
Lazy eye (amblyopia)
The vision in one eye does not develop properly in childhood. It is diagnosed and treated by the ophthalmologist, usually with glasses, a patch or eye drops. The sooner it is treated, the better: ideally before the age of 7 or 8. Vision therapy can complement that treatment.
With your ophthalmologist
Strabismus (squint)
One or both eyes turn. The ophthalmologist assesses each case: sometimes prism glasses or exercises are enough and other times surgery is needed. Vision therapy can help with coordination when it is recommended.
With your ophthalmologist
Hand-eye coordination
Difficulty with tasks that need precision, such as sports or manual activities.
How it works
This is vision therapy at LUPER
A personalised plan, with sessions in the consulting room and exercises at home.
Personalised assessment
Our optometrists check your vision thoroughly to find out what you need.
Your tailored plan
Focusing exercises, visual perception games and, if needed, prisms or special lenses.
Sessions in the consulting room
With the optometrist: anaglyphs, visual games for children and perception exercises.
Practice at home
Small tasks to reinforce what you work on in each session.
Follow-up and adjustments
We review your progress and adapt the exercises.
How long does it last? On average, between 3 and 6 months with weekly sessions. Every case is different, and we explain it to you after the assessment.
Eye trackingThey improve your ability to follow moving objects: useful for reading and for sport.
FocusingTo switch focus quickly between distances.
Hand-eye coordinationMore precision in tasks that need visual coordination.
Anaglyphs and 3D perceptionThey work on depth perception and binocular vision.
The exercises are set by the optometrist after assessing you. Done on your own, without knowing what needs working on, they may be of no use at all.
For all ages
Is vision therapy only for children?
No. It is common in children, but many visual dysfunctions also affect adults and older people.
Vision therapy for children
An undetected vision problem can make reading and close-up tasks harder. The therapy works on focusing, reading and visual comprehension.
Vision therapy for adults
For eye strain, focusing problems and as visual rehabilitation in cases of strabismus or lazy eye, always together with your ophthalmologist.
Older people
It can help with age-related vision problems or after eye surgery, to gain comfort and independence.
When to see an ophthalmologist
If an eye turns, if you suddenly see double or if you notice you are losing vision, ask for a medical assessment. Lazy eye and strabismus are diagnosed and treated by the ophthalmologist; vision therapy is added when it is recommended. And to be honest with you: dyslexia and learning disorders are not eye problems, and vision therapy does not treat them.
Price
How much does vision therapy cost?
It depends on each case. These are the factors that most affect the price:
Length of treatment
It can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on how complex each case is.
Frequency of sessions
Each session includes exercises adapted to you; how many you need changes the total.
Materials
The materials and any lenses or prisms that need to be used.
Is it covered by the Spanish public health system (Seguridad Social)? Generally, no. Ask us and we will give you straightforward guidance.
Let's talk
Tell us about your case
Book an appointment or message us and we will explain the next steps.
Arrive 10 minutes early for your appointment. Better with an appointment: our diary is very full and without an appointment we cannot guarantee we will be able to see you.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about vision therapy
How long does a course of vision therapy last?
On average, between 3 and 6 months, with weekly sessions. Every case is different and the plan is adjusted to what you need.
Can vision therapy be done at home?
Yes, partly: the treatment includes exercises at home to reinforce what you have learnt. But the optometrist's supervision in the sessions is key for it to work.
Is it suitable for adults?
Yes. Vision therapy can be done at any age, and many adults do it for focusing problems or eye strain.
Does it work for lazy eye?
Lazy eye (amblyopia) is diagnosed and treated by the ophthalmologist, usually with glasses, a patch or eye drops, and the sooner the better. Vision therapy can complement that treatment when it is recommended.
Does it work for strabismus?
It depends on the case. Strabismus is assessed by the ophthalmologist: sometimes it is treated with prism glasses or exercises and other times with surgery. Vision therapy can help with eye coordination when it is recommended.
Does vision therapy hurt?
No. It is painless and non-invasive: these are supervised exercises.
How do I know if my child needs it?
Watch whether they frown, get very close to objects, get headaches when reading or find it hard to follow objects with their eyes. The first step is an eye check-up.
Does it help with dyslexia or ADHD?
It does not treat them: dyslexia and learning disorders are not eye problems. If there is also a vision problem, such as a focusing or convergence problem, treating it can make close-up reading more comfortable.
Does the Spanish public health system (Seguridad Social) cover vision therapy?
Generally, no. It is a service provided at optometry centres such as Ópticas LUPER.

Vine en Abril a traer mis monturas a ponerle lentes, pedir presupuesto para mis monturas y el precio me ha gustado. Ademas de un trato excelente, buenos precios, grandes profesionales, magníficas promociones, únete a la familia Luper. Hoy ha comenzado mi primer día de muchos junto a esta magnífica empresa murcianica. Mil gracias!! En poco tendré mis preciosas gafas y el mes que viene otras al 50%. Puedes pagar unas y luego las otras. Fácil, sencillo, profesional e impecable. Te Dan tu informe oftalmológico detallado. Y me rellenan el tarrito limpiacristales para siempre gratis con mi compra. A que esperas?? Se lo he recomendado ya a todas mis amistades, porque lo bueno se comparte. Mil gracias!!
15/05 He llevado 4 monturas aprovechando el 50% para graduar mis gafas, una de ellas de sol. Y quedaron preciosas. Mil gracias siempre 💕
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una atención excepcional, de las que ya no se encuentran fácilmente
Quiero destacar especialmente la experiencia que he tenido en Audiologia Lúper, en Murcia. Desde el primer momento, el trato ha sido absolutamente excepcional: cercano, amable, paciente y, sobre todo, muy profesional.
Te hacen sentir cómodo y bien atendido desde que entras por la puerta, algo que para mí tiene muchísimo valor. Se nota que no se limitan simplemente a hacer su trabajo, sino que realmente se preocupan por la persona que tienen delante y por ofrecerle la mejor atención posible.
Me voy con una sensación de total satisfacción y confianza. Da gusto encontrar profesionales que trabajan con tanta dedicación y que además ofrecen un trato tan humano.
Mi valoración no puede ser otra que cinco estrellas, y sinceramente se quedan cortas. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Enhorabuena a todo el equipo de Audiometría Lúper por la profesionalidad, la cercanía y el trato recibido. 100 % recomendable.
Quiero dejar esta reseña para destacar el trato de Ópticas Luper, pero sobre todo para agradecer de corazón a María. Hacía tiempo que no me encontraba con una atención al cliente tan brillante, atenta y cercana.
Fui a comprar unas gafas de sol y María marcó por completo la diferencia. Tiene un ojo clínico y un gusto impecable para asesorar: supo al instante qué montura y cristales encajaban mejor con mis facciones y estilo. Su paciencia, su simpatía natural y la pasión con la que hace su trabajo convierten la compra en un auténtico placer. Se nota cuando a alguien le apasiona lo que hace y cuida cada detalle con tanto cariño.
Salí encantadísimo con mis gafas nuevas y con la certeza de que no piso otra óptica que no sea esta. ¡Empleadas como María valen oro!
Recomendable al 200%.
Hoy he estado y me ha atendido Jaime. Muy profesional, sincero y honesto. Me he hecho dos gafas, unas progresivas y otras de lejos con clip para sol. Mis dos amigas son clientas y también han estado hace dos días. Me voy muy satisfecha y deseando recoger mis nuevas gafas
Pedí dos gafas, unas normales y otras de sol graduadas. Las dos llegaron normales y tuve que esperar otras 3 semanas en tener las de sol (pagadas desde el primer día, claro).
Pero bueno, eso considero que es un fallo humano y ya está, no es lo peor. Lo que más me molesta es que no veo bien con ellas, me graduaron rápido y mal (y eso que iba con cita).
Llevo varios años acudiendo para hacerme nuevas gafas y estoy encantada. Siempre que puedo cojo cita para la revisión de la vista con Pilar porque es una gran profesional, muy agradable, siempre aconsejando que gafas te quedan mejor y enseñando todos los modelos de la tienda. Sin duda, la recomiendo 100%!
Quiero destacar especialmente la atención de Carolina en Ópticas LUPER Murcia. Mi caso es complejo (trasplante de córnea de hace más de 40 años, con antecedentes de rechazo), y aun así se tomó el tiempo de explicarme cada prueba con mucha paciencia y profesionalidad. No estaba obligada a dedicarme tanto tiempo ni a hacerme pruebas adicionales, y aun así no dudó en ayudarme sin ningún coste. Se nota que le importa de verdad el bienestar de sus pacientes, no solo vender un producto. Muy agradecido por su trato humano y su profesionalidad. Totalmente recomendable.
Muy buena experiencia en esta óptica. Hoy he venido para revisar mi vista y comprar unas gafas nuevas, y me han atendido con mucha profesionalidad, paciencia y amabilidad.
Me han explicado todas las opciones con claridad, sin presionarme a elegir extras que no necesitaba, y han tenido en cuenta mis necesidades para encontrar la mejor solución para mí.
He valorado mucho la atención personalizada y la sensación de confianza durante todo el proceso. Además, tienen una buena variedad de monturas y opciones de calidad.
Muchas gracias por el trato recibido. Sin duda, recomiendo esta óptica.

Muchas gracias por el servicio chicas
El trato ha sido espectacular,muy amable y comprometida.
En relación al precio,me he quedado sorprendido,por qué las ultimas gafas que compré me costaron una buena pasta y aquí me llevo dos pares de gafas por poco dinero.
Muy buena impresión .
La recomiendo.
La revisión fue excelente. El equipo es muy profesional, amable y atento en todo momento. Explican todo con claridad y transmiten mucha confianza.
Me sentí muy cómoda durante toda la visita y salí muy satisfecha. Sin duda se convertirá en mi óptica de confianza.
La recomiendo totalmente.
Es una óptica maravillosa, muy competente el personal y súper agradable. Era la primera vez que iba a revisar mi graduación y me han ido explicando todo en cada momento, y haciéndome sentir súper cómodo. Pilar es una óptica muy cualificada y se nota la gran formación que tiene.
