The students and residents in this video spent time in one of the VisionHelp group practices share how this choice impacted their work.

Why Consider Optometric Vision Therapy

Private practice optometric vision therapy allows you to enhance lives by helping to remediate and prevent the senseless struggle that occurs with poorly developed vision or the changes that occur after neurological event (like a concussion or stroke).
Vision is an immensely complex sense, responsible for 2/3rd of all sensory activity in the brain. Far beyond 20/20, vision incorporates more than fourteen skills that allow us to navigate and thrive in our world.
There are unfathomable numbers of children and adults who are struggling with life and learning because these little-known visual skills are not functioning properly. The symptoms of an unrecognized visual functional and visual processing disorder can mimic other conditions, such as ADD, dyslexia or balance disorders.
