Glasses & Lenses
at Opto-Mization

Did you know your glasses could be causing headaches, migraines, dizziness, balance issues, reading difficulties, attention problems, and more?

The Problem

Most glasses are prescribed solely for clear vision, overlooking their impact on depth perception, eye tracking, and binocularity (eye teaming). This means many prescriptions not only miss the chance to help but might also contribute to these problems.

The Solution

A therapeutic glasses prescription considers how your eyes and brain work together. The prescription is optimized to enhance eye tracking, binocularity, depth perception, and more. This is what we call Opto-Mization Lenses™.

Opto-Mization Lenses™ are designed to improve efficiency and comfort, making your visual experience significantly better. While the prescription may look similar to a regular one, the wearer's experience is vastly improved.
Tailored Prescriptions for Optimal Vision: Each prescription is based on individual needs, allowing for focused attention where it's most required.

Enhance Reading Abilities

Efficient eye movement is essential for seamless reading, sustained focus, and remarkable retention. A functional vision exam ensures that your visual system is equipped with the critical skills necessary for success in both professional and personal settings.

Optimize Computer Time

Standard computer glasses often do not fully address eye strain or enhance productivity. Our tailored vision prescriptions specifically target your unique visual needs, reducing eye fatigue and improving focus and efficiency for digital screen use.

Drive with Confidence

Enhancing the synergy between your brain and eyes enhances your driving experience. It enables smooth transitions in focus, comprehensive scanning of the environment, and confident maneuvering, ensuring safety and comfort even in challenging or low-light conditions.

Elevate Your Eyewear Experience

Standard glasses correct vision, but slight prescription inaccuracies can cause headaches and dizziness. Our custom-engineered glasses do more than just correct; they relieve discomfort and enhance your overall visual experience, addressing issues with progressive lenses and vision degradation.

Top Reasons Patients Choose Us

Better Vision for Kids, Adults & Seniors

Our Glasses Support People with Learning and Reading Challenges

Reading speed, fluency and comprehension all rely on accurate eye movements. An Opto-Mization™ prescription can help to improve how accurately the eyes move through the text. This has helped many patients who were struggling to read, and many who needed better reading performance.

Our Lenses 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.

  • 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.
