Dr. Smith, Tracie, and Katie were all fantastic. The exams were extremely thorough and Dr. Smith has great bedside manner. My young daughter was very scared when we first arrived for our appointment but Dr. Smith made her feel safe and comfortable. Tracie took time to explain everything to us over the phone prior to our visit and gave us a clear understanding of what to expect. Katie was wonderful as well with our little girl and even gave her 2 stickers which my daughter loved. The whole experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this office for all your vision needs.

My daughter has been attending Vision Therapy with Doctor Smith since the age of 4, which is when she was diagnosed with several eye disorders including Refractive Amblyopia. Over the years the team at The Center for Vision Development has been both encouraging and helpful. Due to their team and the exercises they have her do, her vision has improved tremendously and her and I are so grateful they got to help me improve over these past few years. If you are looking for a team to help with your vision needs I highly recommend Dr. Smith and her team.

Center for vision development is a great place and facility. The staffs are so nice, sweet, and patient. Dr. Smith is amazing my son have been going for vision therapy now for almost 2yrs. We have seen so much improvement in he’s vision and the things is able to do now. I highly recommend them if your child is struggling with vision that’s limiting their daily life skills.

After trying all kinds of specialists and various types of therapists to help our son with his extreme anxiety regarding schoolwork in elementary and middle school, the occupational therapist suggested we try the Center for Vision Therapy here in Austin. Although his vision with glasses was normal, it turned out that they determined that his eyes were not tracking together when he looked at lines of letters on the page! No wonder he was struggling and deeply depressed about school. Throughout high school, he participated in therapy exercises at the Center for Vision Therapy which made a huge improvement in his ability to read and retain information. Before therapy, we had serious doubts as to our son’s ability to go to and succeed in college. However, thanks completely to the Center for Vision Therapy, our son proceeded to graduate with a BS from a major state university. Now, since he is also colorblind, we are about to return to the Center for some prescription Chromagen eyeglasses. Our family is eternally grateful to the Center for identifying our son’s problem and helping him overcome the eye challenges we had no idea he was struggling with.

My daughter Evelyn was diagnosed with dyslexia. We tried several programs through the school and even hired private tutors, but she wasn’t improving. A friend recommended vision development therapy. I had taken her to the eye doctor and she had perfect vision. This is different. She ended up having several vision development issues that were corrected with treatment. It didn’t happen overnight, but with therapy she went from not being able to read a menu to reading chapter books. Even she recognized that it was vision therapy that made the difference for her. The doctor, therapists and staff were all wonderful. They made her excited to go. We saw tremendous improvement in her ability to read, but also in her self-esteem. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Center for Vision Development. I highly recommend them.

Unfortunately for adults with amblyopia, strabismus, or other vision issues (commonly all lumped together and called a “lazy eye”), vision therapy is not typically mentioned as a treatment possibility. I asked eye doctors from the time I was 16 on if there was something that could be done for me, and I’m so thankful that - in my late 30s - one finally mentioned vision therapy. I immediately looked online and found The Center for Vision Development and am so thankful I did. I’ve gained some vision and muscle control in that eye, but I’ve also gained confidence with that awareness and muscle control. I would recommend vision therapy to any adult with eyes that don’t align or don’t work together - if you’ve been told it’s too late or that you had to catch it by eight years old, please come check out vision therapy to see if it could help!

Dr. Smith and her team of professionals are truly heroes! The difference the vision therapy program made for my child is remarkable. From lack of balance to riding a bike. From unable to track words on a page to reading books. From unable to read the board and look down to her desk to take notes to a college graduate. From being told she would never drive a car due to vision challenges to a safe licensed driver. I am moved to tears still when I recall how far we have come and what a difference vision therapy has made in the quality of life for my daughter. I cannot put appropriate words on a page to adequately express how very grateful I am for Dr. Smith and The Center for Vision Development.Lisa L.

Our daughter began undergoing vision therapy with the team at The Center For Vision Development after a screening for kindergarten age children came back with some areas of concern. After a full exam with Dr. Smith we found that she was experiencing several visual processing, learning and memory deficiencies. These issues would likely have gone unknown until later in elementary school had it not been for the screening. We are so grateful that Dr. Smith was able to identify Grace’s challenges and develop a plan for healing and growth. After a little over a year of therapy Grace’s vision is improving in all areas, as is her confidence, balance, and frustration tolerance. It is such a blessing to have found Dr. Smith and her program when we did.

Dr. Smith, Dr. Orr, the vision therapists and staff have been wonderful to work with. They have been so thorough in evaluating my daughter’s vision, educating me and communicating about everything from scheduling to specifics of the therapy programs. I would highly recommend the Center for Vision Development.

I want to highly recommend the Center for Vision Development in Austin TX. They have taken wonderful care of my daughter! Dr. Smith, Dr. Orr, Office Manager Tracie & Receptionist Katie have been the most wonderful, caring & above all expert team who have helped my daughter & my wife to address & handle my daughters vision issue at hand. I want to thank them so, so, so much for their expert help to my family!!! I highly recommend them as Vision experts!!!

My son has been receiving therapy from this office for the past two plus years. He absolutely loves his time with Mrs. Annie and Dr. Smith. He says (1) I feel comfortable there (2) everyone is nice (3) it always feels clean there. I highly recommend considering this office for your vision therapy needs. Being completely transparent, sometimes it takes time to see the improvement. But I guarantee you it is worth the wait and worth the finances and time given to the work. My son has grown in confidence, in writing and reading, in athletics and most importantly in character. We are very grateful.

Vision Therapy has impacted my life in so many ways. I started at The Center for Vision Therapy when I was a sixth grade and finished early 8th grade and I loved every part about it. I loved coming to my appointments they were always so fun. I am now a Junior in high school and after I completed my therapy I have discovered my talent for art that I never thought was possible! My whole future for college has changed because of The Center of Vision Therapy. Soon I will be applying to art colleges but I will never forget what had brought me to this point. I highly recommend coming to vision therapy it can change you for the better:)

Over the course of 6 years, we have made made the 6 hour round-trip to CVD countless times. Dr. Smith & her staff have helped my now teen-age son in more ways than words can describe. With therapy and help from Dr. Smith, he has worked himself out of bifocals, daily headaches, illegible handwriting, balance issues, the inability to track moving objects, lack of peripheral vision, trouble reading, and so many more issues. His school and sports performance have improved drastically, as has his level of self-confidence. The entire staff has always been friendly, and eager to help us every step of the way. We are so grateful for the all that Dr. Smith & the CVD staff have done for us through the years, and thankful that we didn’t listen when educators and other doctors told us that the issues our son faced were just from being “young and immature.”

Center for Vision Development has been a great blessing for my daughter. She went from struggling to read, unable to focus, and frustrated with homework to excelling in school. Within two months of starting vision therapy, we saw huge improvement in her posture, reading, attitude, focus and most of all confidence. She is now a very happy child and eager to learn. We cant get her to stop reading books even at bedtime. We are so grateful for CVD and the entire staff. Theyre truly the best. From Katie to Tracie who I learned so much from about vision in my first phone call to Annie, Marcella, and Dr. Orr. My daughter loves vision therapy and looks forward to doing the work. Thank you again for all you do! Forever grateful, from my family to yours.

Dr. Smith and her team are professional and helpful group. The CVD teams communication is excellent, they respond quickly by text and always friendly over the phone and in person.Our daughter is 5 years old and has been going to vision therapy for just about 6 months.  In just this short period of time, we have seen an improvement in her reading, writing and physical skills (balance, jumping, etc). We are grateful for everyone at CVD.

As an adult who has had four eye surgeries to correct my lazy eye (amblyopia) I did not think vision therapy would be an option for me, but the exercises have really helped. I have seen a drastic improvement in my peripheral vision, my coordination, and eye control. My lazy eyes outward turn has lessened and become more centered and my eyes are learning to work together as a team. Cannot recommend The Center for Vision Development enough!

As an occupational therapist, I have referred several families to Dr. Smith for over 10 years. I have seen the benefits! So, when I had concerns about my own son, I knew exactly where to turn. As a mom, I’ve now had the pleasure of working with both Dr. Smith and Dr. Orr through the screening and evaluation processes and I continue to be impressed with their thoroughness and knowledge. They also provided information I was able to relay quickly to my son’s school to assist him across environments. I am excited for the progress that I know is to come.

Absolutely love this place. So friendly and caring. My son has been doing great with his appointments and his eyes are getting much better! Very appreciative of the staff!!

The Center for Vision Development has been a complete godsend. My 3 year old daughter has a bad left eye and myopia. We personally have seen Dr. Smith, Dr. Orr and a eye therapist (Marcella) they are the most understanding, professional and caring group I have dealt with. I have been to 4 different centers with little to no results on the severe condition with my daughter, CVD has given us the correct path and we will follow it to get the results we need.And Tracie the Office Manager is the BEST and sooo nice and has been nothing but helpful and informative. And CVD has the best receptionist in the world - Katie - she is the sweetest person ever and always makes us feel so welcome.This is such a hard situation to deal with as a new mom with such a small child, and I can’t thank CVD enough for their help in my daughters health and success with her eyes.

We have and continue to love our experience at The Center for Vision Development. Dr Smith is kind, patient and very empathetic and our experience of therapy at the Waco office with Silence has always been great.

We have had the best experience with Dr Smith and her staff. My sons issues have improved dramatically and we have started using the MiSight contacts for myopia management. Dr Smith and her staff are kind, thorough and creative! We are very happy with the results and blessed to have discovered them. We highly recommend them!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We were seen right away and even got through my daughter’s testing sooner than expected!

Weve been working with the Center for Vision Development for the last 9 months and appreciate the attention to detail and professionalism everyone shows here. The vision therapists are AMAZING and Dr. Smith makes herself easily understood. Thank you for your help so far, friends!

5+!!! Everything from the initial telephone conversations with Tracie, to the visits with Dr. Smith and therapy sessions with Annie have been amazing. The care, attention, encouragement and support from each member of the Center for Vision Development team really promote healing. If you have had any head/brain injury, schedule an appointment today-get here as soon as you can. Take it from a brain injury survivor, Dr. Smith and her staff gave me hope.

Absolutely a believer in vision therapy! Both my children have made significant progress with peripheral vision, tracking and near/far focusing. My son had lots of trouble skipping over words when reading and now reads smoothly, no longer rubs his eyes or avoids reading! Both children have improved their performance in their sports as well. All of these improvements have been observed with only 2 months of therapy! We are excited to see continued progress!

My daughter just graduated from vision therapy a few month ago. Over the past two years with CVD I have been very impressed with the level of care and professionalism with all the staff. Everyone is very child centered, and working hard to met the needs of the whole child. I highly recommend CVD for anyone needing vision therapy care.

My 10 year old daughter Madison has been going to The Center for Vision Therapy for one year now. We’ve seen incredible improvements during that time - in her tracking, eye focus and ability to determine if a shape which has been flipped or rotated is the same as the original. These improvements have been great, but the most amazing result is that my daughter has become a reader and LOVES to read. We first bought her to The Center for VT because it would take her 30 minutes to read a page with large print, and during that time she would constantly loose her place, skip words and replace words with other words. And she was so fatigued at the end of reading a page that reading became this dreaded activity for both of us. It was painful for both of us and that is an understatement. Although we’ve been really happy with all of the improvements she’s made, I never imagined she would actually come to enjoy reading. Every time I filled out a progress evaluation I would skip right over the checkbox for “your child enjoys reading”, thinking I would never be checking that one off. But all of a sudden, about two weeks ago, she bought home a 400 page book with small print from school, and she’s been reading 50 pages a day!! I can’t even complain that she’s 15 minutes past her bedtime because she’s been reading for an hour and wants to finish one more chapter. She actually told me I had to read the book because “it will change my life”! And she’s excited to read the whole series. Seeing the joy she has come to feel from reading, and the sense of accomplishment and pride that she feels now that she’s become a reader, makes every penny we’ve spent worth it. We are so grateful for The Center for Vision Therapy for turning our daughter into a reader!

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Smith and her team. Our son had a significant concussion, and after visiting several Drs. including child neurologists, we eventually had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Smith. She was amazingly thorough, and was able to uncover several deficits affecting our sons vision, as well as, his brains ability to process what he was seeing. He had even significantly lost his peripheral vision. After many months of therapy, he was able to regain all of his peripheral vision and his brains vision processing skills which in turn, improved his reading and academic skills, as well as, his ability to participate in sports related activities requiring fast visual processing skills. We cant thank them enough! They truly changed our sons life. It was the best money we have ever spent to help our son. Thank you Dr Smith and team!!

We had no idea the vision issues our son was dealing with. We have been going weekly for 7 months. It has been amazing! Watching his success in the classroom and on the feild/court has been wonderful. It is a financial commitment but has been worth every cent!! Thank you to all the staff for working with our son.

Everyone in the office was great about explaining things to me and very supportive when I had questions

I brought my 7 year old daughter in for an initial consultation. Dr. Bailey made her feel so comfortable. She repeatedly told me, in the short 30 minutes we were there, I love this place! Can we come back! She even ran across the room to give Dr. Bailey a big hug before we left. Its important to me that she feels comfortable with this process, and I know that would be the case here. Dr. Bailey was very patient in the consultation, and gave me his honest assessment of why he thought she could benefit from vision therapy.

Great experience with Dr. Smith! Id been having difficulty with reading, experiencing a lot of fatigue, sleepiness, eyestrain, losing my place, having to re-read the same sentences over and over. She did a very thorough exam of how my eyes work together and put me through some tests that challenged me to determine the extent of my problem. Then she reviewed all her findings with me so that I could understand the reason for my frustrating problem, and then she created a plan for me that would include some therapy in the office, but also some stuff I could do on my own (which actually saves me some money too!). All in all, looking forward to working with Dr. Smith and her staff, and would recommend the office to anyone with similar reading, learning, or eye alignment problems.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, always a wonderful experience.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Smith and her staff! I would highly recommend them. My visual issues have improved by at least 50$% after only a few months of therapy. The light therapy and Beemer are amazing along with the vision therapy staff!Austin is lucky to have such a nice and skilled group of people.Mary Ann E

My son really struggled with reading his first grade year. He would try to avoid it at all costs and then complain that his stomach and head hurt when we forced the issue. I was frustrated with him at first, and then I was just plain worried that he would struggle with reading for the rest of his life, that we would have to move schools, and that his self-esteem would sink so low that he would stop trying all together. It took a while for us to find Dr. Smith, but when we did, it was like someone just handed us a key. We were vigilant with the exercises and truly within just a couple months, a new child emerged. I cant say that he loves to read (and maybe he never will), but I can say that he is not scared of it anymore and it does not cause him anxiety anymore. He started second grade reading at a 1st grade level, but when he started third grade this year, he was tested as reading at an end of third grade level. He is doing awesome in school and his confidence is incredibly healthy and enabling. We have seen substantial and very real results with this vision therapy program. What could have been some huge problem that affected him for the rest of his life has basically turned into nothing. I am very grateful for this program and would encourage anyone to have their child evaluated. (And by the way, I just started my younger son in therapy as well.)

My eyes had different problems when I started to see Dr. Smith 2 years ago. I felt words blur with reading and I read extremely slow. Dr. Smith has applied various programs to correct my vision issues. Through one and half years vision therapy, I can see clearly now and my reading speed has improved significantly. I feel the school work is much easier and I could have extra time to play sport and enjoy other activities. The vision therapy from CVD is the turning point of my life and make me a confident and successful student. Dr. Smith is a great doctor. All her team members are very warm and professional. They are very flexible to change the therapy time and very supportive to help parents with insurance claim. I really appreciate all of your help!

Dr. Smith and the entire team at CVD are beyond amazing and so talented at what they do. All of the vision therapists have helped my son tremendously during his vision therapy sessions. They have also helped me to understand what my son is going through with amblyopia. We just had our very first reevaluation with Dr. Smith and we found out that he has made great progress and we’ve only been going for about 2 1/2 months. I am beyond grateful for finding out about his condition and getting in with the best professionals in the field. It’s a shame we weren’t recommended this treatment from the pediatric ophthalmologist we went to before coming to CVD. But luckily we were told about these treatments from a friend who also had great success with Dr. Smith and her team!

We are halfway through Vision Therapy! One year into a two year program. The difference it has made in my daughters life is huge. Dr. Smith and her staff are wonderful. Tracie at the front desk is the best she goes out of her way to help answer questions or make scheduling work. We will definitely miss them all when we finish Vision Therapy!

Always a wonderful experience. Its been many years since we needed to come in, and everything was just as fantastic as we remembered. Dr. Smith is patient and kind with my daughter, and sensitive to giving her short breaks during the thorough testing. We drive clear across town to see her, because it is worth it.

Dr. Bailey and staff are wonderful. I would highly recommend them to anyone who might be facing a strabismus diagnosis. They are kind and patient. My son looks forward to going, which is a relief! Thank you Dr. Bailey and staff, including the amazing Tracie, who always keeps me organized in terms of when our appointments are.

Dr. Smith and her staff are fantastic. Without their help, I literally wouldnt be able to continue my career as an software engineer. Vision therapy has done wonder for my the health of my eyes.

After a year of extensive reading help my 1st grade son was still having extreme difficulty reading across a line or even coping letters in a word. The school O.T. suggested we recheck his vision since his tracking seemed very poor. We got referred by our optometrist to the wonderful Dr. Smith and her staff. Within 6 weeks of therapy our son picked up a book he had always had trouble with and read it successfully to our bunny with no help and no skipping words or lines! Our 7 year old son now tells everyone he meets how VT has made him a better reader and he love reading pain free and with ease. His drawings are now also improving. My husband and I are both in the medical field and started as skeptics but have quickly turned believers as the improvements speak for themselves.

We have received wonderful care and support. Our vision therapy has been very helpful.

The Center for Vision Development has been wonderful for our family. I trust in their services and their staff is always so helpful. I highly recommend to anyone who has received a strabismus diagnosis.

Dr Smith was patient and kind with my daughter who asked more than her share of questions. The entire staffanswered all my questions and even helped to alleviate my concerns.

Dr. Smith was very helpful and thorough in her examination. She answered all my questions and gave me a comprehensive treatment plan. I look forward to working with her and her staff to treat my strabismus.

Dr. Smith and her team of vision therapists are wonderful! They bring so much hope to families who are struggling with serious vision challenges.

Dr. Smith is amazing and does a wonderful job working with my 3 year old. We are so happy that we found her and the center for vision development.

Seems fine so far but wanting to see results. It was the first visit so of course its to soon to see results.

Dr. Smith and her entire team are consummate professionals. They balance knowledge and expertise with warmthand patience.

I appreciate all that you guys do. I know Wyatt will soar like an eagle from his vision therapy and will definitely make us all proud. As a parent of a struggling student who was born 15 weeks premature, I wholeheartedly recommend CVD. He has many underlying issues related to his prematuraty, and their program will get him back on track to make him a successful student and adult. They are a very professional group with a fun loving atmosphere.

CVD was exactly what my daughter needed, & the staff & Dr. Smith have explained everything at every phase of my daughters therapy. The therapists are good with kids--patient, caring, & also able to get my daughter through the times she felt tired or resistant. Although the office doesnt file insurance claims, the staff is very helpful about how to work with insurance companies. The Westlake location makes it very convenient for after school appointments.

Dr. Smith is very professional. She explained all results, answered all questions, and gave us plenty of information and resources. Everyone at the office is super nice and helpful.

Dr. Smith and her staff are outstanding. They take the time to understand how you use your eyes in school, sports, home, work, etc., and customize a program that can help you get your eyes working for you instead of against you.

My daughter was having problems reading. I tried lots of things but nothing helped. Thanks to the vision therapy she likes to read and is enjoying school.

Dr. Bailey was very patient and kind and answered all of our questions. Great experience.

My son suffers from Lyme Disease and co-infections that have greatly impacted his vision with many issues including convergence insufficiency, lazy eye, peripheral vision issues and also has sensory processing disorder. We had great success with CVD in helping him recovery what had been damaged. He especially found immediate results with the Light Therapy. it was dramatic after the first quick and easy session that his peripheral vision improved. The following few more Light Therapies restored his peripheral vision to normal. My son was 7 at the time and Ill never forget what he said Hey its kind of cool I can see my hand holding the pencil now Because he was born with these conditions we had no idea how bad it was until we wen to CVD and had the therapies. I highly recommend them especially for light therapy!

Early in elementary school our daughters teacher confided to us that she was struggling to keep a consistent margin when she wrote. As she progressed down each line of the ruled notebook paper her indent would increase until by the time she got to the end of the page more than half was blank space before writing began. The teacher encouraged us to have her vision examined and tested for dyslexia/dysgraphia. Her eye exam showed 20/20 vision, and she passed both of the other tests without difficulty. She avoided reading and hated to write anything - even the shortest assignment was a cause for tears. We saw the frustration and wanted more than anything to help but no one could give us any answers. A close friend told us their child had good results with vision therapy from Dr. Smith. I checked our medical and vision insurance coverage and was told it was not covered. When I inquired why I was provided with a general not scientifically proven to have medical benefits explanation. This didnt provide much hope but we were willing to try. I will be the first to admit I was extremely skeptical and afraid of holding out any real hope, no matter how much I wanted things to improve. Meeting the staff at CVD and watching Dr. Smith work with our daughter allayed my concerns immensely. She was not at all surprised to hear about the insurance rejection, and provided me with reams of studies, reports, and findings to send to my insurance company to rebut their no scientific basis claims. Most of all, she spent the time to diagnose the condition, patiently explain it, and assure us it was treatable. Her confidence and caring nature are as deep as her medical skills, and her staff of therapists became close friends as our daughter completed regular therapy sessions. The progress was real, measurable, and when it was complete Dr. Smith showed us before and after test results along with a page of writing with perfect left margins. I truly do not know how our daughter could have overcome the perceptive abnormalities she suffered with if we had dismissed vision therapy as unproven and not given Dr. Smith a chance. The genuine compassion and dedication of Dr. Smith and every therapist and staff member at CVD are beyond measure. There really are not adequate words to express how impressed and thankful we are. When our daughter decided she was ready for contacts Dr. Smith gave her a thorough exam and made certain during followup checkups that everything was correct and coached her on adjusting to them and giving her eyes a rest from them with glasses. Our daughter has graduated high school, still sees Dr. Smith for her annual exams and simply adores her. We consider ourselves very fortunate and recommend her at every opportunity to those who might benefit from her expertise.

Dark hair therapist (sorry forgot name) -- great, conscientious, perfect

Wonderful people, who are making a huge impact in the lives of children!! Thank you so much for all your help with my daughter!!!

Preface: I think it is important to know the history, perceptions, and expectations of the person making a review. This is a long review, but hopefully helpful to someone else.My expectations: Going into it I fully expected to be turned away and told there was nothing that could be done. My reason for visiting CVD: Acute onset double vision age 35. No previous history of double vision or strabismus, rule out stroke and TBI.History:Not long after my 35th birthday (almost 3 years from this review), I had an acute onset of double vision. I spent hours in the offices of the most specialized eye providers in the region, neurologists, chiropractors, etc. I spent hundreds of hours desperately searching the internet for some kind of answer that my doctors could not provide. I was sent out the door with prism lenses that made me nauseous and a shrug of the shoulders that stated, We dont know why it happened or if it will get worse or better in the future, surgery is not an option and vision therapy wont help you. I gave up. Then one day woke up ticked off again and inspired to change my path once more. I thought to myself, why should I believe what they say about about vision therapy? People say those things about chiropractors and acupuncture and I have great results (in other areas) with those specialties. I did a random search on the internet for vision therapy in Austin and I stumbled upon CVD. I bit the bullet, made the call, scheduled an appointment for an eval, passed a kidney stone the morning of my eval, and rescheduled promptly. :)What actually happened: It was then I met Dr. Smith...a firecracker of a woman, a scientist, and a person that I knew immediately would tell me what I needed to know to make the decisions that would change my vision for the future. I spent about 7 hours with Dr. Smith testing this and that...a more thorough exam then all of the other providers I had been to combined. Her attention to detail and desire to help me was unmistakable. The individualized attention received during my first visit for an evaluation, then subsequent visits has been phenomenal. I am on my 6th week of treatments and I notice seemingly everyday changes and improvements. I am not using my prisms as frequently, the double vision seems to be less frequent. We take frequent and consistent measurements to provide substantiated evidence that my eyes are improving.This is really long...blah, blah, blah...Dr. Smith, Dr. Bailey, Tracy and team are extraordinary. They are not only passionate about what they do, but skilled and excellent at it. I have faith in this team...and that was something that I lost 3 years ago when this started. We have agreed that while I may never have an answer for the why or how it happened, I do have a chance for overcoming it and moving forward.

My husband is two months into therapy with CVD and Im truly amazed at the difference! He has had diagnoses for dyspraxia and ADHD most of his life- resulting in difficulty with double and blurred vision, slowed ability to process what he was seeing, poor peripheral vision, terrible depth perception, difficulty focusing or switching tasks, and easily fatigued eyes. In two months, weve seen improvement in every single thing on that list. Hes much more confident driving (unprotected lefts and busy parking lots are no longer stressful), he doesnt get stressed out as easily, hes better able to focus and changes tasks much more easily. He has even cut his ADHD medication in half and has much less trouble on days when he doesnt take it.Weve been using the BEMER for about three weeks, which has helped me personally with some chronic shoulder & back pain and numbness in my hand, as well as clearing up some skin discoloration. He just started the Syntonics therapy this week, so we are looking forward to seeing results with that, as well.Its a huge commitment of both time and money (we are far from wealthy!), but both have been absolutely well spent. The staff at CVD has all been wonderful- very friendly, encouraging, and helpful! I cant recommend them enough!

My wife, Britneys review is spot on. From my perspective, a whole new world is opening! What I thought was everyones periphery and depth perceptions was just my limited ability to process and perceive both. It has been an emotional roller-coaster (though with far more ups than downs!) as I gain new perspectives on...well...everything! My ability to focus at work has greatly improved (more on that in a minute) as has my overall productivity. In fact, at work, Im required to look at various forms of documents and correspondence. My coworkers tested my vision therapy progress by giving me a piece of correspondence that had been date-stamped over some numbers that we needed to be able to read. No one else in the office could read it. I confidently asked to look at it and was able to decipher the numbers accurately, and this was only after about a month or so of therapy. This was a situation where I wouldnt have been able to do it prior to therapy. The ladies at work have now made me the go-to person to read unreadable things! My vision is not the only area of improvement. As my wife stated, I have been on a low dose of adderall (10 milligrams/day) and have been able to cut that in half. My energy has increased, and mood improved. I have much more confidence in approaching tasks. Even when I do struggle, instead of shutting down, like I would have before, Im able to charge through and finish as much as I can. My brain isnt so focused on keeping my eyes straight anymore, so it can pay attention to other things! My eyes are open brighter now, and my eye contact has improved. I know I am rambling a bit, but I just cannot express how much this has meant to me. Ive not gotten my life back. Ive simply just gotten my life! The staff at CVD are fantastic and have gone above and beyond in working with us. Dr. Smith is more than knowledgable in the field. While, in therapy sessions, I do not work with her as much, when I do, my eyes get a work out! (this is a good thing!) Travis also puts me through my paces as well, and most of my sessions have been with him. Whether youre an adult needing vision therapy or have a child that you think would benefit, I would absolutely give CVD a call and schedule an appointment! My wife and I have wholeheartedly recommended CVD to families we know from church and at work and will continue to do so. Thank you, CVD, for all you have done and continue to do in my life!

Dr Denise is very attentive and patient with very young children. My son was almost 2. He was on an at-home vision therapy program for his hyperopia, strabismus, amblyopia. He ended up moving to another practice because of scheduling conflicts on our end. At the time, the staff included a vision therapist who was trained in identifying retained primitive reflexes - a topic that is not widely talked about by pediatricians yet is significant to eye tracking/teaming, among other development-related issues. I learned a great deal from her. Front desk service was impeccable.

Happy to have found them in my sons time of need.

Rude and dismissive front desk staff. Dr. Smith also doesn’t take insurance and the initial exam is upwards of $275.

Excellent service
