The Neuro-Optometric Evaluation is unique because, in addition to a traditional eye exam, basic binocular visual skills, and eye health, the evaluation is focused on identifying how vision is impacting overall function. It also is designed to evaluate how vision is interacting with the other senses.

VisionHelp: Vision and Learning

Vision is the prerequisite for reading. Poor vision skills lead to poor reading skills. Studies show that deficiencies in binocular vision, accommodation, oculomotor control, visual information processing and/or visual integrative abilities can lead to a significant handicap in learning abilities.

Back to School – Are you missing something?

As children get ready to go back to school, parents are going through their checklists to make sure everything is taken care of so their children are fully prepared for school. However, most checklists are missing something that could make the difference between success and failure. Watch this video to find out what it is.

Why your child struggles in school

Convergence Insufficiency (CI) is a common vision disorder that affects near vision, causing symptoms like difficulty focusing and eyestrain, often mistaken for ADHD. It can be diagnosed with a simple test and treated through vision therapy, which improves the brain’s control of the visual system. VisionHelp is a group of leading developmental vision specialists in the U.S., advocating for awareness and treatment of vision disorders.

Amblyopia: Advanced Treatment for Lazy Eye

When it comes to the treatment for Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)… if given the choice between weak medicine with lots of negative side effects and only partial results OR highly effective medicine with no negative side effects and significantly better results…what would you chose for yourself?

TEDxPioneerValley – Sue Barry – Fixing My Gaze

Susan R. Barry, Professor of Biological Sciences at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts talks about “Fixing My Gaze.”
“For most of my life, the last place I wanted to be was an eye doctor’s office. I had been cross-eyed since infancy, and despite three surgeries, remained cross-eyed and stereoblind. Scientific dogma indicated that my visual deficits resulted from changes in brain circuitry that occurred in infancy and could not be reversed in adulthood. So, when I finally consulted a developmental optometrist and began optometric vision therapy at age 48, I took a significant risk. I had to think beyond the conventional wisdom, abandon old visual habits, and master skills that most children acquire within the first six months of life. As I began to straighten my eyes and see in 3D, I learned that the adult brain is indeed capable of significant plasticity. Rewiring in the adult brain requires the presence of novel and behaviorally relevant stimuli, the conscious abandonment of entrenched habits, and the establishment, through intense practice, of new ones.”

Overlooking our vision | Cameron McCrodan | TEDxVictoria

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Sight is something many of us take for granted, but as Cameron McCrodan shows, there are many aspects of sight that are simply overlooked – and they can have a massive impact on our quality of life.
