July Open House

On Wednesday, July 18th, The Center For Vision Development hosted an Open House to welcome Dr. Emily O'Meara to the practice.


We chatted, enjoyed refreshments, and demonstrated some of our vision therapy activities for our attendees- current and future patients, their families, and local professionals.  Our doctors and staff members were on hand to give tours of our office, answer questions about our practice, and demonstrate vision therapy activities.  We highlighted our Readalyzer, a computerized eye movement recording system that analyzes eye movements necessary for reading.  All attendees had the opportunity to try out the Readalyzer, and Drs. Kungle and O'Meara were there to help interpret the results.



We hope you will join us for our next event, a free seminar entitled "Is Your Child Visually Ready for (Pre)School?" on August 22nd.

August is...


     Parents and students are sharing their success stories to celebrate August as National Children’s Vision and Learning Month and help educate others about the critical link between vision and learning. 
    
      After years of struggling, families across the U.S. are now seeing their children succeed after an underlying vision problem was diagnosed and treated with optometric vision therapy.

The five most common signs that a vision problem may be interfering with your student's ability to read and learn are:
  • Skips lines, rereads lines
  • Poor reading comprehension
  • Takes much longer doing homework than it should take
  • Reverses letters like “b” into “d” when reading
  • Has a short attention span with reading and schoolwork

Everyday here at The Center for Vision Development, we witness children with these challenges succeed and dramatically improve their quality of education and life.


Do you have a Vision Therapy success story to share?  We would love to hear from you.  Please leave us a comment below!
