We’re here to help you adjust to life with your vision changes or loss.
We understand that vision changes can be emotionally and physically challenging. Our team of caring professionals is ready to help you navigate these changes.
They will become an extension of your vision care, along with your general optometrist and/or ophthalmologist. We can help when corrective lenses, surgery, or treatments are not enough or are no longer effective. Our goal is to help you with the transition so you can maintain independence.
We provide support in three specific areas:
Low Vision
If you’re experiencing significant vision loss that can’t be corrected or improved with glasses, contacts, or surgery alone, we might be able to help using specialized devices and tailored care, including:
Neuro-Optometry
When the brain and the eyes are NOT communicating properly, it can cause double vision, eye-tracking issues, difficulty in interpreting your surroundings, eye fatigue, headaches or visual field loss, and a host of other symptoms.
These issues are typically related to brain injuries, neurological conditions, or stroke. Our team will work with patients in a variety of ways using tools such as:
Developmental Vision
Developmental vision delays can affect people of all ages and can get in the way of school and/or work, reading, writing, and completing daily tasks. We can provide a comprehensive assessment and prescribe a treatment plan designed to address these issues. Our team will create a vision therapy program customized just for you to improve your overall visual function. Conditions that can benefit from vision therapy include:
