Optometric Vision Therapy Success Stories

It helped me to read better and not see double vision. —E.Y., age 7

Vision therapy has had a wonderful impact on my daughter. She will now initiate reading on her own and enjoys it! She does not complain about her eyes or head hurting anymore after schoolwork. The strain on her eyes is greatly reduced by her new skills. Dr. Stacie, Ms. Kim, and the entire staff are so wonderful! —parent of patient E.Y.

Vision Therapy has been such a blessing. My son really struggled with double vision in school and sports. After working with Ms. Kim and Dr. Kelvin he began to improve dramatically. He no longer complains of books or words being broken. His sports have also improved. Ms. Kim and Dr. Kelvin are very knowledgeable and really helped us through this process. —parent of patient C.W.

It was awesome because of all the fun activities like Mental Blocks and because Ms. Kim is the best eye teacher ever because she is always nice and she always gives me fun things to do like Mystery Bag, Items on a Tray, etc. —C.S., age 10

C.S. has come so far with vision therapy. He has gained confidence both in sports and school. Ms. Kim and Dr. Stacie always made therapy and homework challenging but fun. He can easily catch a ball now. He doesn’t struggle with board work at school anymore. Vision therapy was a game and life changer for C.S. —parent of patient C.S.

My experience is about getting a black belt in karate, taekwondo, and graduating eye therapy. These are my goals: 1- being able to catch a ball better, 2- finish my homework sooner and have more time to play, 3- stop having headaches or blurred vision after doing reading or close work, 4- being able to read without getting so sleepy or have my eyes hurt. I am proud to be who I am and what I am doing. —T.C., age 8

The Vision Therapy program at Prosper Family Eyecare has provided my son T. C. with the skills he needed for eye teaming and overcoming his deficits with eye tracking. He no longer has headaches after a long day of school. T. C. is also able to write in small spaces. T. C.’s therapist Miss Meredith provided excellent one-on-one care tailored to T.C.’s specific needs. —parent of patient T.C.

Before I came here I didn’t have side vision. Some of the activities were boring but not being able to see is more boring and annoying especially when you’re barrel racing. I’m so glad I graduated! —K.C., age 12

When my daughter K.C. came here she was in the 4^th percentile on all the tests (overall) and she did not have any peripheral vision. It was so scary – but after a year here, miraculously, one day her field opened up and she was completely normal. After that, she began making much faster progress with her other vision issues. We are so thankful to have found Prosper Family Eyecare. —parent of patient K.C.

My vision therapy experience was wonderful. While I was in vision therapy doing lots of very helpful eye workouts that have made my eyes much better in a couple of months. But over that couple of months my vision therapy experience was great. —C.L., age 9

When we first met Dr. Stacie, we had just withdrawn our son from a private therapeutic school. The school did not know what do to with him, and he was completely stressed out from the various attempts to get him to cooperate.

Within a month of working with R.G. at home, I began to see behaviors and hear him say things that I had never before noticed. For example, one day he told me that he could not look at the papers because “they were moving”. He often told me his “brain hurt” and that his eyes were “broken”. I had never heard these phrases and soon began to take them seriously. Also, I noticed that when we worked with letters and shapes on the white board he recognized many, but when we went to paper work he wanted to quit immediately and the bad behavior appeared.

During the consultation with Dr. Stacie after her first evaluation of R.G., I learned about visual processing problems and retained primitive reflexes. Where the school saw behavior problems and we saw developmental delays, Dr. Stacie and her staff saw hope.

Our weekly vision therapy sessions with Ms. Kim required hard work and lots of patience. And she showed up each time with plenty of both. Everything was difficult for R. G., but she and Dr. Stacie never gave up in trying to find another way to success.

Today, we not only have improvement and even “normal” test results regarding his vision challenges, but we have a happier, more confident young man. R.G. grows in new ways every day, an one of the main reasons he has the opportunity to do so if because Dr. Stacie, Ms. Kim, and Prosper Family Eyecare believed he could.

We thank God for everyone at PFE and the difference they have made in our son’s life and in our family. —parent of patient R.G.

​​​​​​​There are not words enough to thank you all for what you have done for R. G. He has felt your acceptance, kindness, and encouragement every time he entered your doors. Thank you for loving our son. You have helped him and our family more than you could ever know. —parent of patient R.G.
