Andrew<\/b><\/p>\n

My name is Andrew B. and I am currently a student at the University of Massachusetts. My vision always bothered me as a child, and I’ve always had trouble concentrating when reading for more than a few minutes. Because of these problems, I have continually been to see eye doctors. They always had a cure and that cure was always glasses. The problem was that I was never satisfied and would stop wearing the glasses.<\/p>\n

This summer, my father mentioned Dr. X and I immediately disregarded the idea of going to him fearing the many experiences I had already had with eye care. After some very serious coercion, I decided to give Dr. X a try and I am glad I did.<\/p>\n

For once, the cure wasn’t just to slap on some corrective lenses\u2014 we were going to teach my eyes how to work through therapy. The therapy sessions were actually very interesting. In fact, many of the individual activities were quite entertaining. I also enjoyed hearing about how my eyes worked before and what we were trying to teach them.<\/p>\n

After 10 weeks of these sessions, I have had some amazing improvements. When before I just couldn’t make something out, I can now focus on it and make my eyes clear up the image.<\/p>\n

I have also noticed some serious improvement in the length of time that I can read. The bottom line is that I highly recommend seeking Vision Therapy.<\/p>\n

I came to Dr. X to get some Vision Therapy eye exercises to help combat occasional age-related blurriness when reading. In my twelve sessions with him, Dr. X helped me so very much with his great knowledge and creativity. Thanks to him, my eye lenses, which were starting to stiffen with age, have become far more flexible.<\/p>\n

Vision Therapy made me exercise and strengthen and use my eyes in many different ways.<\/p>\n

Of course my main interest was my focusing, acuity, clearness of vision, and to develop that flexibility. Dr. X gave me a sequence of increasingly difficult visual activities. These focusing activities were part of a varying regimen I was given at each session.<\/p>\n

Other activities were for many different functions and aspects of the eyes and vision, and meant to promote their overall good health and high functioning in all sorts of ways. These would include eye movements, relaxation exercises, convergence\/divergence, peripheral awareness and many more. Everything was taught and worked on in very enjoyable and frequently entertaining ways.<\/p>\n

The entire experience was so very helpful and enlightening. I would hasten to say, all puns intended that I see things a lot differently and more clearly.<\/p>\n
