About Us

What We Do

Our office evaluates, diagnoses, treats, and manages vision disorders that can impact reading, learning, and other activities required in daily life. For children or adults, the first step is a comprehensive Functional Vision Evaluation.

Depending on the type of problem found sometimes glasses can help. If glasses won't solve the vision problem, Optometric Vision Therapy may be indicated. Vision Therapy is much like “physical therapy”, but rather than treating the muscles of the body, it works on the eye-brain connection. A thorough examination with the doctor will determine the best course of care. If indicated, the doctor will prescribe an individualized treatment program of Optometric Vision Therapy.

To best prepare for you or your child’s Functional Vision Evaluation, check out our What to Expect page.
