Top Reasons Patients Choose Us
We Support People with Learning & Reading Challenges
Do you know someone who struggles academically? When the eyes don’t work well together, this leads to eye-tracking problems that can impact learning. It goes beyond having clear vision — reading, writing, and staying focused depend on strong visual skills.
Vision therapy allows us to address visual problems that hinder one’s ability to thrive in school, work, sports, and beyond.
We Help People Conquer Balance Issues, Dizziness, and Migraines
Over 50% of your brain is dedicated to processing visual information, which means how you perform visual tasks is a good indicator of the effectiveness of the eye brain connection.
If you frequently experience balance issues, dizziness, vertigo, migraines, Meniere’s disease, and vestibular neuritis, then you may have problems with your eye-brain connection that can be improved with neuro-optometry.
We Aid Patients with Reclaiming Their Life After a Concussion or Stroke
When concussions or strokes affect the brain, they often disrupt the visual system. Using a tailored neuro-optometric approach, we’re able to assess and treat eye conditions to improve eye tracking, coordination, and overall visual function.
Our results have been nothing short of remarkable, with 90% of neuro-optometric rehabilitation patients experiencing significant improvements in their vision. Let us help you achieve similar breakthroughs by strengthening how your brain and eyes work together.
Results Like You've Never Seen

What is Neuro-Optometry?
Neuro-Optometry focuses on the intricate connection between your visual system and the brain, extending beyond traditional eye care to assess functional vision. This branch of optometry examines how your eyes track, move, coordinate, and how your brain processes depth, motion, and balance. Disruptions in these functions can lead to a range of issues including headaches, migraines, dizziness, balance challenges, post-concussion symptoms, reading difficulties, and attention deficits (ADHD). By exploring these functional areas, we also identify opportunities to enhance performance in activities such as sports, reading speed, and cognitive processes.
What is Vision Therapy?
At Opto-Mization, vision therapy is a specialized, personalized program aimed at improving visual skills and abilities. It goes beyond traditional vision therapy to help improve how the eyes and brain work together, addressing visual-motor and perceptual-cognitive challenges to enhance overall visual function. It’s more than just exercises; it’s a pathway to better vision and improved daily life.
Do you Provide Regular Eye Exams and General Optometric Services?
