Our Team
Dr. Amanda Zeller Manley, O. D., FCOVD
Until becoming a patient at her optometry college’s vision therapy clinic, Dr. Zeller struggled to be a solid B-minus student. After vision therapy, she was finally able to become the A student her parents had always expected. She also has had a few concussions that had visual consequences later improved through vision rehabilitation. Her personal experiences provide common ground with her patients and their own struggles.
Combined with over a thousand hours of specialty continuing education, sixteen years in the clinic have provided ample opportunity to meet patients where they are in order to provide a custom path to vision rehabilitation.
Dr. Amanda Zeller Manley specializes in Neuro-Optometric Vision Rehabilitation, binocular vision disorders, brain injury vision rehabilitation, visuo-spatial disorders (vision-related learning problems) and special-needs vision care for children and adults. Dr. Zeller is board certified in Vision Therapy and Vision Development, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry.
Dr. Zeller is available for in-services for schools and other organizations.
