All of our doctors specialize in optometric vision therapy and developmental vision care for both adults and children with a wide range of vision disorders. It is important to know that it is still possible to have vision difficulty, even if an individual sees 20/20 on the eyechart. The 20/20 test measures clarity of sight at a distance.
Yet the vision system is a dynamic and complex system involving much more than simply seeing 20/20! Many children and adults can still have poor eye movements (difficulty scanning along lines of print when reading), poor convergence or binocular skills (difficulty coordinating the two eyes) and/or have poor visual-perceptual processing skills (difficulty understanding visually presented information).

Services
All of our doctors are developmental optometrists who have done residencies in vision rehabilitation and vision therapy. They all have extensive experience in helping patients recover from strokes, accidents, closed head injuries, concussions, and post neuro-surgery as well as vision problems that interfere with reading and learning.
Our center is dedicated to helping children and adults treat a variety of vision problems that cannot be corrected with regular eyeglasses and contact lenses. This includes treating lazy eye (amblyopia), eye turns (strabismus), and a variety of eye coordination and eye movement disorders as well as vision problems that interfere with reading and learning.
Vision Therapy for AutismMany children struggle with multiple challenges, that can make school and life achievements seem almost impossible to conquer. Working with professionals however, that are both familiar and comfortable addressing the requirements of a special needs child can be invaluable in helping families help their children to achieve at their potential.
Detecting and correcting vision problems when your child is young ensures they do not encounter unnecessary difficulties and labels throughout their schooling. Unfortunately, basic eye exams usually only test for 20/20 eyesight (or visual acuity) and do not test any other areas of vision function, which are essential for learning in the early grades.
Convergence Insuffiency Study by the National Eye Institute Your eyes are designed to work together as a team to produce a single image. To do this, they both must aim and focus on the same point. This process is known as eye teaming. When you look at an object up close, your eyes must turn in (converge) in order to maintain proper eye teaming.
