Success Stories

We provide a unique vision care service called Vision Therapy. Read some success stories below.
   

In the short time of six months I have seen Matthew go from, "I just can't do it," to "It was kind of hard, but this is what I did." His whole outlook has changed. I knew we were making progress when while working on our therapy one night he said, "Mom, I know which one I am not suppose to see."

We have enjoyed these sessions and will miss them, but just seeing Matthew do a written report and not fight to get it done is great. He now will pick up a book and actually read it before we did everything by audio books. His teachers have even remarked he volunteered to read out loud in class. He also was a reader at church.

I was having a lot of headaches, and seeing double. I was having trouble retaining what I read.

After Vision Therapy, I very seldom have headaches, I no longer see double, and I am able to retain the material I have read.

Our home life was not the funniest at times. Caitlin came home from school everyday and we butted heads about doing homework for at least 1-2 hours a day. Then when she did finally do it, it took her 1 ½ hours, and that was with our help. Now it's like a complete different person coming home. She loves to read now and is getting A's and B's in school. All her grades have improved since we've been in eye therapy.

It was hard to do school work without my eyes hurting. It took me a long time for me to read a book because I would get a headache or my eyes would start to hurt. If I looked from the chalkboard or overhead projector, and back down to my paper, it was hard to transfer information from one to the other, and it was hard to read the overhead. I wasn't making good grades, until now. It is easier to read from the overhead back onto my paper, and I am getting better grades and no more headaches.

Thanks a lot for helping my eyes and me. The therapy helped a lot.

Just the free time that my daughter received through Visual Therapy is worth everything to her, the self-assurance and the confidence means the world to me. To see her read just because is great. She used to take hours to do homework and it was a total frustration to her. Now she's so much faster and only gets frustrated when anybody would. It's been so worth all the time and money. I highly recommend this. However, remember it takes everybody to make it work. Parents are very important in the success of the program.

When our son was having trouble in school (bad grades), we had some testing done. He was seen by a psychologist, independent of the school system, and it was brought to our attention that he had visual problems that may have been interfering with his abilities with schoolwork. We had a visual examination done and it was horrifying to know that he could NOT see the biggest letters on the eye chart. How terrible we felt as parents that we did not know just how bad his vision was! We went through the "guilties" because our son used to get in trouble for bad grades (we though he just wasn't trying). We found out that he needed bifocals, and for a 13 year old, that was BIG BAD news. It was hard for him to adjust to glasses, let alone bifocals...we also went through broken glasses (somewhat normal for teenage boys) and still some difficulty with schoolwork.

After vision therapy, we are no longer wearing bifocals (this was the goal of vision therapy) and he hardly needs glasses at all. He needs them for reading but can play sports and far away vision activities no longer require glasses. We are done with feeling guilty for "failing" our son and glad that he also made a sacrifice to work hard at the therapy. The price of therapy was scary at first but in the long run; we would have more than made up the cost of therapy with specialized glasses. It was a small investment, both financially and with time for our family, but an investment well worth it!
