Calling All Vision Therapy Providers: Why We Want to Link to Your Success Stories

Link our vision success stories!

 

We want to show everyone that vision therapy centers around the world are achieving success. To demonstrate the efficacy of vision therapy, we created this webpage of links to the success stories published by other vision therapy centers.

 

The biggest question every vision therapist - or any medical practitioner - is asked: “Will it work?”  

We’ve been asked that question since The Vision Therapy Center opened in 1995. We’ve answered by helping thousands of people improve their functional vision and change their lives.  And we know we’re not alone.

 

Success Stories From Other Developmental Optometrists

We’ve documented many of our success stories on our website, but we know other developmental optometrists around the country have done this as well.

 

So we thought if we could build a page where we linked to all the success story webpages across the countries, it would demonstrate to patients, educators, and other medical practitioners how effective vision therapy can be in helping children and adults struggling with functional vision problems.

 

Below you’ll find a list of vision therapy success pages - including some noteworthy individual success stories.  We’d love to link to yours as well.  If you would like to include your vision therapy success story page in the listing, please click here and send us your clinic’s name, your address, and a link to your page.

 

We strongly encourage you to add a link to this page from your website, so all prospective patients can see the other success stories around the nation!

 

Why All Vision Therapy Providers Need to Showcase Our Success

If you’re worried about putting your success stories up next to another clinic that provides vision therapy, don’t. One in four children has a vision problem that affects their ability to learn.  Our biggest problem isn’t a lack of patients; it’s a lack of awareness.


Besides, showing how many developmental optometrists practice vision therapy underscores how widespread vision therapy truly is. It shows that vision therapy, which is part of every optometrist’s medical training, is a valid and effective method for correcting vision problems.
