When I was a kid, I never gave much thought about my classmates who couldn’t play sports very well. It seemed like there were just some kids who just couldn’t cut it. You’d throw a ball at them, and they’d flinch like it was a hand grenade. Talking to Pamela Amling about her daughter Grace made me realize that many of those kids probably had vision issues. I can only hope they turned into a vision therapy success story like Grace.

A success story from Angela Martin, a client of The Vision Therapy Center. My lifelong dream was to get a college education, but it seemed as though it would be impossible for me to achieve that goal. No matter how hard I studied for those exams, I just couldn’t seem to get better than a C. If high school was that hard, how hard must college be?

A success story from a client at The Vision Therapy Center: Christopher’s story begins like the stories of so many kids with vision problems. From the time he was very small, we knew something was not quite right, yet neither his teachers nor we could quite put a finger on what it was. Visits to several medical professionals got us nowhere until we had the good fortune of being referred to The Vision Therapy Center.

A success story from a client at The Vision Therapy Center: Both my boys have gone through vision therapy and have developed into AWESOME readers. Please understand there is way more to vision than eyesight, so don't get stuck in the trap of saying "My child's vision is good, we had that checked." We were created in a complex way by an amazing God.

A success story from a client at The Vision Therapy Center: My son, Ben (age 7 yrs old), would often tell me he could see double. In jest, I would say, “I can do that too.” But what I wasn’t realizing was Ben was not “making” his eyes see double like I was. When Ben started reading, I noticed his left eye would go out to the left as he read. I still didn’t realize it was a real vision problem. After all he was able to read fine.

A success story from a client at The Vision Therapy Center: As a baby, Alex was so happy, even when he was sick. He smiled and laughed often. I never thought twice about him not responding to the musical bear mobile that hung over his crib! Every three months after birth, we would go to his healthy check with his pediatrician. He was always "right on target." But how did they REALLY know?

A success story from a client at The Vision Therapy Center: Migraines were becoming a way of life for Westley. It is a good thing that we homeschooled because Westley would have a migraine five to seven days per week. We did as much school work as we could, and then he laid down in bed with a pillow over his head.
