We See With Our Brains Through Our Eyes

Saving for braces vs saving for vision therapy. What are the benefits of each outcome? Pretty smile vs ability to read, write and do math. Ask yourself, what are your priorities, what’s more important? Then make that decision.

The decision to pursue vision therapy for your child can literally change their life! Finances, insurance reimbursement, and “evidence” of efficacy (usually being told by an uneducated provider that it doesn’t work) are mostly responsible for children not getting the functional vision care they need to reach their full potential.

Autistic people do not like to make direct eye contact because it is too overstimulating. Vision therapy helps reduce the visual stress they are experiencing.

Developmental milestones are how we measure whether or not a child is on track for learning and growing and can tell us if a child needs intervention or remediation. Tummy time is extremely important for normal infant visual and motor development.

“Success is no accident! It is hard work and perseverance.” ~Pele.

“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” ~Earl Nightingale

“Those that are unsure in their visual world, are unsure in their life.” ~Unknown guru of behavioral optometry

Our sense of security comes directly from our visual system.

Strabismus patient at week 12 of his Vision Therapy Program: “I was able to see the depth in a 3D movie for the first time in my life! I had to stay alert and not relax too much to maintain the 3D. I’m so happy!”

Strabismus patient at week 5 of the Vision Therapy Program: “I was able to fuse the images in binoculars for the first time ever! I used to always see double and have to pick which image I would look at, now I can make them fuse into one image and it’s so beautiful!”

Quote from a 9 year old patient: “It’s so much easier to dribble a basketball now because I can see better with my peripheral vision.”
