At the age of three, my son was suffering from migraines. He was always tripping and falling, and he would turn his head to the right and look out of his eyes to the left whenever he was trying to focus on something. The migraines continued to get worse. He would become nauseated and would scream for help. We took him to see two optometrists and to Children’s Hospital in Seattle for an MRI over the course of two years and still we had no answers.

While I was attending Mommy Connection, Dr. Winters was invited to speak at one of our meetings. As I listened to his stories of children he and his staff had helped I knew vision therapy was our answer. My husband and I immediately set up a consultation and learned that our son was suffering from double vision and his depth perception was off. My son started vision therapy soon after.

After two years of hard work and an amazing commitment by our son and the entire staff at Washington Vision Therapy Center, we have seen a complete turnaround. He no longer turns his head to focus, he isn’t falling any more, and his migraines are few and far between. He is now able to focus and judge depth better than ever. Now, when it is time for a bedtime story, he reads the story to me.

My family and I couldn’t possibly show enough gratitude for all that Dr. Winters and the staff at WAVTC have done for our little boy. Thank you! Written by the mother of a 7 year old with Binocular Dysfunction.
