Reading and Learning Challenges
So much of reading is visual. Why a child who sees 20/20 can still lose the line, skip words and avoid the book.
Our Services
Developmental Eye Care That Goes Beyond 20/20.
Every program starts with one question a standard eye exam rarely asks: how well do the eyes and brain actually work together?

What We Offer
Care for the Visual Skills Behind Daily Life
Vision Therapy
An individualized, doctor-supervised program that retrains eye teaming, tracking, focusing, and visual processing.
Learning-Related Vision
Vision is the dominant sense used for learning. When the visual system is inefficient it drags on reading, focus and schoolwork; therapy restores the ability to gather and process visual information.
Vision Rehabilitation
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation after a traumatic brain injury from trauma or stroke — for visual field defects, double vision, light sensitivity and visual balance disorders.
Concussion Rehabilitation
Post-concussion vision care — the evaluation, what we measure, what therapy involves, and how we report back to the referring provider.
Amblyopia & Strabismus
Amblyopia is reduced eyesight in one or both eyes despite the best glasses or contacts; strabismus is an eye turn. Therapy teams the eyes and brain for clear, comfortable binocular vision.
Sports Vision
Training the visual abilities an athlete competes on — tracking, reaction time, peripheral awareness and hand-eye coordination — for split-second decisions made with confidence.
Examinations
Developmental and binocular vision evaluations for children and adults — the deeper assessment a standard exam skips.
Not sure which one you're looking at? Start with the complaint instead: signs and symptoms by problem sorts reading trouble, headaches, attention, clumsiness and dizziness into what each one can mean, and the symptom checklist takes about three minutes at the kitchen table.

How Can We Help?
Four short talks on the problems families bring us most often. Watch the one that sounds like your child.
Amblyopia / Strabismus (Lazy Eye)
Lazy eye and eye turns: what the traditional patch-and-wait approach misses, and how therapy builds real two-eyed vision.
Attention Difficulties
How a functional vision problem imitates inattention in the classroom — and what to rule out before anyone settles on an answer.
Poor Eye Tracking
Saccades, smooth pursuits and fixation — the eye movements that carry a reader across a line of print and back again.
More short explainers and written answers live on the blog and in conditions we treat.
How It Works
Every Patient Starts With an Evaluation
There is no one-size-fits-all program here. Care begins with a comprehensive developmental and binocular vision evaluation that pinpoints exactly which visual skills are — and aren't — working. From there, the doctor builds an individualized plan, which may include in-office vision therapy, lenses or prism, and at-home activities.
Not sure where to begin? The examinations page explains what an evaluation involves, start here walks you through the first visit step by step, or just schedule one and we'll guide you.
Not Ready for a Full Evaluation?
Free Vision Screenings
We offer free vision screenings if you are unsure whether a Developmental Vision Evaluation is right for your child. A screening is a short look at how the eyes are working together — enough to tell you whether a full evaluation is worth booking. It is educational, not a diagnosis, and there's no obligation either way.
Prefer a Call First?
Ask for a free consultation call with our Vision Therapy Coordinator. She'll listen to what you're seeing at home or at school, explain what an evaluation looks at, and tell you honestly whether it sounds like something we can help with.
Not Sure Which Service Fits?
An evaluation is the starting point for everything. We'll tell you what's going on and what to do next — and if you'd rather test the water first, the screening is free.
