Alix, age 16<\/b><\/h2>\n

Vision Therapy has helped me more with my mental abilities than with my physical abilities. I think that many things relating to writing, reading, and comprehension have become better. My reading has gotten faster, more efficient, and I can read from a farther distance.<\/p>\n

I believe that Vision Therapy could help many other people like me.<\/p>\n

Robert, age 48<\/b><\/h2>\n

My 11 year old son, David, was identified as a candidate for Vision Therapy. It made a real difference to his reading and athletic abilities, and I recognized many of his symptoms in myself. I have never been good at ball sports. Even playing catch was difficult for me.<\/p>\n

I went for Vision Therapy for several months, hoping to improve my abilities as David had done.<\/p>\n

After the first few months, I noticed a real improvement in my peripheral vision. I was more aware of events in my periphery while driving. After completing the course of the therapy, I was able to play catch with my sons. I have never felt any competence at ball sports, but now I can throw and catch with confidence.<\/p>\n

My favorite leisure time activity is fly fishing. Vision Therapy has been a big help in my ability to coordinate wading and casting. My ability to estimate distances and cast to those distances has improved. My balance while wading and casting has improved as well.<\/p>\n

I am very happy that I learned about Vision Therapy and that I was able to overcome vision problems that have troubled me much of my life. I just wish I had learned about Vision Therapy earlier!<\/p>\n

Gregg, age 14<\/b><\/h2>\n

After being referred to Dr. X by an education specialist, I cannot say enough praise about the outcome of Gregg’s visit with him. Testing showed problems, which required yoke prisms, which improved depth perception within only one month’s time. Gregg went from bottom of the batting order in baseball to the top. Definite improvements in many ways: schoolwork, confidence, etc.<\/p>\n

I am confident that a developmental optometrist could be the answer to your prayers. Too bad more people don’t know the difference between an Optometrist and a Developmental Optometrist.<\/p>\n
