One out of four children have vision problems that keep them from reaching their potential in school. Many of these children are mislabeled as having ADHD, dyslexia, or a learning disability. We offer tools to help you know the difference. Our self assessment provides a vision symptom checklist and will score you or your child’s likelihood of a vision problem that impacts learning. We also give a free screening at our clinic.
Clinically known as Amblyopia and Strabismus, these conditions can successfully be treated with vision therapy. Akin to physical therapy for the eyes, often with vision therapy, surgery can be avoided, or at a minimum increase the success of surgery. Additionally, vision therapy helps to solve the underlying problem of these conditions by helping teach the brain how to use the eyes together to gain depth perception.
Vision is processed in almost every part of the brain. So, if you receive a head injury, the likelihood of it affecting vision is very high. When dizziness, nausea, double vision, light sensitivity, and headaches are not otherwise understood, they could be related to vision concerns. Vision therapy may be able to correct these areas.
Vision therapy is a tool that can help many problems that are not often attributed to vision. If you or your child struggle with headaches, poor reading comprehension, struggling to get work done in a timely manner, or if performance doesn’t match potential, there may be a vision problem getting in the way.

Dear Vision Therapy,
Thank you all for helping me with reading and math. I am doing great in school. I have A’s and B’s. You guys helped me with my school academics. I love your trampoline in your building, it is very fun to play on. Thank you Emmily for letting me be on the trampoline while you were talking to my mom when she was at work, and I was doing vision therapy. I miss coming to therapy because you guys are nice and funny. I am doing well… read more
Vision therapy helped me with reading, so the words do not move around on the paper. It also has helped me with math and writing. When I do my school work, I am no longer tired or distracted. My writing has improved, which has helped me write faster. I now like to do math, writing, and reading. Finally, the most important thing is that I no longer have headaches, blurred vision, or feelings of being tired, which has helped me to keep up in my school work. Thank you Dr. Winters, Seth, and Carrie for helping change my life.
Vision Therapy has helped me in a lot of ways. When I read it was sometimes blurry. Now I can read as long as I want and the words do not get blurry. I am also a lot better at comprehension. I had troubles with remembering what I had read. What I love about vision therapy is that they will work at your own pace and everybody is super nice. I recommend vision therapy to everybody who is having trouble with types of reading. I enjoyed it a lot and I hope everybody else does too.
Vision Therapy helped me a lot. My eyes were tired all the time so they would roll to reset their focus. By going to therapy and doing my home activities, my eyes feel a lot better.

Before Vision therapy I had a hard time judging distance and catching a ball. I would skip over math problems and workbook questions and I didn’t like to read for more than a few minutes. Since I started last spring I have seen a gradual improvement in sports and school work, but my reading skills have drastically improved. I am reading for an hour every night and am more interested in chapter books. I’m not getting headaches or getting fatigued during school and I’m much faster at getting my work done.
I am so thankful that I got to do Vision Therapy. It has helped me so much. During the school year it would take me a whole semester to read a 200-300 page book. During the summer it would take me the whole summer to read my summer reading book, which was only 250 pages. Now it only takes me a couple of weeks! Also, it would take me a couple of hours to finish by five page science packet, but now it takes me 20 minutes! I now enjoy reading so much, that I read my book everywhere. It’s so nice to understand and enjoy reading, so I can enjoy it with everybody else. That is my story.
