Top Reasons Patients Choose Us

Better Vision for Kids, Adults & Seniors

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.

We started our in-house Optical Lab because we want you to witness guaranteed results & an amazing experience.

Many eye care professionals overlook how a prescription and the manufacturing standard of lenses can significantly influence your symptoms & visual performance. The right glasses prescription can improve eye coordination, equilibrium, and more. Without careful consideration, inappropriate prescriptions can contribute to headaches, migraines, dizziness, balance issues, reading challenges, and learning difficulties.

Our prescriptions are meticulously crafted to enhance the synergy between your eyes and brain. Each pair of glasses is precision-engineered to ensure the prescription effectively boosts your visual performance and alleviates symptoms. Experience the transformative impact of our Opto-Mization™ glasses, designed to optimize your vision and comfort.

  • 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?

    Yes, alongside vision therapy and neuro-optometry, we offer comprehensive eye exams and general optometry services. Our experienced optometrists perform thorough eye exams to evaluate overall eye health, identify any eye conditions or diseases, and prescribe corrective lenses when beneficial.

  • Who is the Ideal Candidate for Vision Therapy and Neuro-Optometry?

    Vision therapy and neuro-optometric rehabilitation can help individuals of all ages. Whether you’re struggling with visual processing issues, binocular vision disorders, amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye misalignment), or have sustained a brain injury, our services might be beneficial for you. Contact us to discuss if our tailored approach can meet your specific needs and goals.

  • Do I Need a Referral to See an Optometrist at Opto-Mization?

    No, you do not need a referral for an eye exam at Opto-Mization. We welcome anyone who suspects they might benefit from our services, whether you’re experiencing symptoms of visual discomfort or just want to ensure optimal visual performance. Feel free to reach out and schedule your appointment directly with us to take the first step toward understanding and improving your visual function.

  • Do You Direct Bill Insurance?

    Yes, we offer direct billing for a variety of insurance plans to make the process as seamless and hassle-free as possible for our patients. Our knowledgeable staff is well-versed in working with insurance providers, ensuring that you can maximize your benefits while minimizing out-of-pocket expenses for our services, including vision therapy and eye exams.
