Success Stories
"Training with Dr. Orfield in 1989 and 1990, I cleared up all my nearsightedness. I have not needed distance glasses since... Vision training is terrific for all sports development programs (beginner to pro), public speaking, academic achievement, improving job performance, and martial arts... It should be an integral part of every child's development, available in each and every school."
-- Bruce J. Moran, consultant, Sifu in Tai Chi Tao, NCCAOM diplomat in Asian Bodywork, and AOBTA-certified instructor/athletic trainer
"The vision training [VT] I did with Dr. Orfield changed my life. Reading and memory retention became much easier in all my activities. For weekend warriors like myself, the VT knocked 8 - 10 strokes off my golf game! Vision isn't just seeing 20/20. Clear sight or acuity is only one important aspect of our vision.
Almost every child benefits from having their eyes correctly tested and vision trained. Emotional stability, better grades, improved coordination are only a few of the possible benefits. I believe that every guidance counselor, school nurse, tutor, teacher and parent should use Dr. Orfield's book, Eyes for Learning, as their bible when working with students. I have seen many children diagnosed with ADD when it was only a visual problem. Dr. Orfleid's book will change your child's life." -- Ralph Katz, CEO and president of BK Management and 18-time North American Bridge Championship winner
"As my vision and depth perception improved through vision therapy with Dr. Orfield, so did the coordination between my hands. As a professional violinist and teacher, I was amazed at this development (which helped me improve elements of my technique) and the increased freedom of expression that came with it. As a former teacher of mine said subsequently upon hearing me play, " I wish everyone who went to the optometrist would come back with their ears opened." -- Ann Miklich, free lance orchestral violinist, violin, and viola teacher, and chair of the String Department of the Community Music Center of Boston
