“Vision therapy is changing my abilities to read and play sports especially football. I enjoyed all of the games and activities that I played. I liked my trips to Lumen Vision. My therapists and Dr. Ryan were friendly and nice.”

ABBOTT’S PARENT:

“How is Vision Therapy changing my life?

As parents, we have observed significant improvements in our son’s vison following his completion of vison therapy in the summer. These improvements include reduced eye strain, decreased head movements, and fewer eye blinks. These positive changes have already started to make a difference in his academic and athletic performance. For instance, he now appears more comfortable and focused while reading, leading to improved concentration and reduced eye strain. We believe that these improvements will also benefit his performance on the football field, as better eye contact and tracking will enhance his overall game. We are truly grateful to Dr. Ryan and the staff at Lumen Vision for their exceptional care and professionalism throughout the therapy. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our son’s vision and well-being.”

ANDREW’S PARENT:

“Lumen Vision provided my son with vision therapy to attempt to correct his lazy eye. I was excited to have a non-surgical option. Although it was a huge time commitment due to travel, I saw improvements with his vision. He was able to start reading better and not getting so many headaches. I would recommend Lumen Vision to all my friends and family who had concerns about a lazy eye. The staffing and doctor here are incredible!”

“I liked that all the staff at Lumen Vision were really nice. The staff found activities that I really enjoyed doing. It is nice that I could do the homework at home and not just at the office during my visits. The staff did a great job explaining to me what I was expected to do at home. I am better able to focus on things at different distances. Vision Therapy is changing my life because of the therapy.”

CHLOE’S PARENT:

“We walked into Lumen Vision unsure of what to do to help our daughter with her vision. Lumen’s assessment broke down our struggle points with fresh vocalization and without accusation of failure in us as parents. Lumen did a great job working with our schedules and vacations so that therapy appointment would be possible in a successful way. I appreciate how thoroughly they explained each week’s homework to my daughter so she could be responsible for remembering what she needed to do. We were never left feeling confused or frustrated, or without support. The staff made my daughter feel very comfortable, and she enjoyed her visits, as well as the work.

Lumen Vision has changed my life because they have given my daughter a natural effort to read something instead of giving up, looking away, at first glance. My daughter is now able to look at works, and letters, enough o focus on them and read them. The first big revelation moment happened when my daughter, for the first time, caught herself writing a letter backwards and was able to correct herself. I was left in awe about how they were able to overcome this hurdle that we had struggled with for years. I am grateful of the skills my daughter has gained for this experience. This therapy has given us a critical pivoting point to success for her academic endeavors and daily life.”

"My name is Evelyn. I am 7 years old. Vision therapy has helped me be a better reader.”

EVELYN’S PARENT:

“My daughter Evelyn, who is seven years old, completed vision therapy through Lumen Vision. Vision therapy has made a huge difference for my daughter at the start of vision therapy she complained about getting headaches all the time. She would come home from school every day complaining her head hurt and her eyes were tired. After the ten weeks of vision therapy, I now catch Evy in her room reading books, she had never doe this before and wanted nothing to do with reading. Evy no longer complains about her eyes hurting or having headaches. Thanks, Lumen Vision, for helping my daughter gain her confidence and working with her.”

“I’m Harvey and I’m 7. Vision Therapy makes my eye better. I can’t wait to elk hunt and be able to see them!”

HARVEY’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy has profoundly transformed my seven-year-old son Harvey’s life, primarily boosting his confidence while significantly improving his ability to track print and reducing his complaints of headaches. Before being vision therapy, Harvey struggled with reading, which led to a noticeable dip in his self-esteem. He often expressed frustration over his inability to keep up with his classmates, and his frequent complaints of headaches further impeded his academic progress and daily activities. These challenges not only affected his performance in school but also his overall well-being and confidence.

The journey with vision therapy began after a through eye examination revealed that Harvey’s eyes had difficulty working together. Dr. Ryan and his team of therapists designed a personalized program that included exercises to improve his visual skills. These activities, ranging from tracking moving objects to focusing on various distances, were initially challenging for Harvey. However, as he consistently practices these exercises, we began to see remarkable improvements.

One of the most noticeable changes was in Harvey’s ability to track print. Before therapy, his eyes would frequently lose their place on the page, making reading a frustrating and arduous task. Vision therapy helped him develop stronger eye coordination and control, allowing him to follow lines of text more smoothly and accurately. This improvement not only made reading less tiresome but also more enjoyable for him. Harvey started reading more independently and with greater enthusiasm, which was a significant milestone.

The reduction in headaches was another remarkable benefit. Previously, Harvey’s complaints of headaches were frequent, particularly after school or any extended period of reading. These headaches often left him irritable and unable to focus on homework or enjoy his free time. Since starting vision therapy the frequency and intensity of his headaches have diminished significantly. This change has had a tremendous impact on his quality of life, allowing him to engage more fully in both academic and recreational activities without the constant discomfort.

Perhaps the most rewarding outcome of vision therapy has been the boost in Harvey’s confidence. As his reading skills improved and his headaches subsided, he began to feel more competent and elf-assured. This newfound confidence has spilled over into other areas of his life, enhancing his overall happiness and sense of achievement.

In conclusion, vision therapy has been a transformative experience for Harvey, addressing the root causes of his struggles and paving the way for a brighter more confident future. The improvements in his ability track print and the reduction in headaches have been instrumental in enhancing his academic performance and daily comfort. Most importantly, the therapy has bolstered his self-esteem, allowing him to approach challenges with a positive and determined mindset. Vision therapy has not only improved Harvey’s visual skills but has also enriched his life in way that extend far beyond the classroom.”

“It really helped! I can read better. I can read good now. It helped better.”

TAYLA’S PARENT:

“I noticed when Tayla started therapy, she has a hard time with games and homework she got. She had to take lots of breaks to reset her eyes. It has been 5 weeks and can tell she is taking less breaks, and doing better on the games she has to do. She loves going weekly to her appointments, and loves getting new work to do. I can’t wait to see how she does in school.”

“My favorite part of eye therapy was the virtual reality and the fun games you guys have. Games Toby because he is the most fun. Eye therapy helps my eyes get better at keeping them on track of reading to get better and it works better keeping my eyes track.”

BRYNLEE’S PARENT:

“We are a very busy family of six. When it was recommended that our oldest daughter Brynlee start vision therapy, we thought we would never be able to fit that into our schedule. With a lot of planning and effort we made it work throughout the summer. Brynlee for the most part has been very cooperative on getting her homework done on time. We hope that all the hard work pays off and that she will have an easier time reading.”

"My favorite part of vison therapy is the virtual reality games.”

COOPER’S PARENT:

“When Cooper first went to the eye doctor. Immediately, he was prescribed with a strong prescription. We also learned his eyes don’t work together as well as the should. We did about a year of patching his left eye, we were not making any progress. His eye doctor there referred us to vision therapy. I feel vision therapy has helped Cooper with his focus and made him become a better reader. Everyone is always so friendly and when he’s there I don’t have any concerns.”

EVERETT’S PARENT:

“Before we discovered vison therapy, our family’s daily life was filled with challenges that we didn’t fully understand. Our son, Everett, struggled in school, often frustrated with reading, and difficulty focusing on his schoolwork. We initially thought these issues were just part of growing up, but as time went on, it became clear that something deeper was at play.

After consulting with a Lumen Vision, we were introduced to the concept of vision therapy and found that Everett’s struggles were linked to his inability to effectively coordinate his eye movements and focus on task, which was affecting his academic performance and elf-esteem.

As we progressed through the therapy session, we witnessed remarkable changes. Everett began to read with more confidence, and his overall attitude towards school improved. It was as if a with had been lifted off his shoulders.

Vision therapy has not only improved Everett’s vision but has also fostered a sense of confide3nce and independence in him. WE recommend vison therapy to any family facing similar challenges. It has changed our lives for the better, and we couldn’t be more thankful.”

“Grace said Vision Therapy was great! She said it helped her eyes work the same. The workers are nice, and she loved block builder.”

GRACE’S PARENT:

“As a parent, I can say Lumen Vision and their vision therapy program did wonders for my child. I can see all the positive changes form reading improvement to coordination skills. The staff is amazing, and scheduling was flexible. Thank you for giving my child a new confidence in herself!”

“Dear Lumen Vision,

Vision therapy has been challenging but fun. I think vision therapy is worth the hard work. My favorite part of vision therapy is the VT headset and the workers at Lumen. Vision therapy has helped me a lot. It will be great to use my new skills in school to help with eye focus.

Thank you!”

REMEK’S PARENT:

“Dear Dr. Ryan and Staff:

Vision therapy has been a transformative experience for our child, altering the course of his development in profound ways. Reading, focusing, and even participating in everyday activities became sources of frustration. However, since completing vison therapy at Lumen Vision, we have witnessed a remarkable shift.

Vision therapy has not only enhanced our child’s visual skills but also his confidence and academic performance. Tasks that once seemed insurmountable are now with reach, and our child approaches challenges with newfound enthusiasm. The improvements in eye coordination, focus, and tracking have allowed him to engage more fully.

This vision therapy journey, which was not always easy, has shown that vision is not just about seeing clearly but about how the brain processes visual information. Through targeted exercises and consistent practice, our child is developing skills that will support his growth fare beyond the therapy room. Vison therapy is not just changing how our child sees the work – it’s changing how he experiences it, empowering him to reach his full potential with long-term vision tools in place. Thank you, Dr. Ryan, and staff!

Thank you!”

JOCELYN’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy was recommended to our 8-year-old daughter Jocelyn by her speech therapist. Being recently diagnosed with Dyslexia her reading was very difficult. This was compounded by her eyes not tracking very well. After a summer of weekly in office visits and daily work at home. We have actually seen a big improvement in her reading. We hope this trend continues and she can catchup with her friends reading levels quickly.”

"I liked vision therapy because we played vision games, and the homework was fun. I like earning prizes and maybe getting $50 dollars. Everybody was so nice and kind to me. Vision therapy changed my life because I barley have headaches now!

Thank you!!”

AINSLEY'S PARENT:

"My daughter Ainsley is almost 9 years old. She is about to start 3rd grade. She started having headaches and noted visual troubles in 1st grade. She’d often get out of school and complain of headaches. Reading and school work were difficult for her, even though she was doing great in school. On May 6th 2024 she was seen by Dr. Ryan and we found out her diagnosis of deficient saccadic eye movements, intermittent alternating exotropia, convergence insufficiency and paresis of accommodation bilaterally. It was definitely overwhelming to hear her diagnosis, even as a nurse. I felt guilty that this wasn’t caught sooner. The staff at Lumen Vision including Dr. Ryan helped to ease my mind and nerves. They explained Ainsley’s diagnosis and how vision therapy would help her. They were kind, patient and took the time to explain everything. On June 12th we started our vision therapy journey. It has lasted the whole summer. And although Ainsley didn’t always want to do her “homework” because her eyes would fatigue. She always looked forward to seeing the smiling and friendly staff out Lumen. Ainsley worked hard on her homework this whole summer and eventually the lessons weren’t as hard for her. She looked forward to her weekly therapy sessions and picking out a prize! It was great to see her determination and resilience through this process. The $50 scholarship has defiantly been a motivating factor for her!  I’m excited to see what she decides to do with her money. So, what/how has vision therapy changed my life? I would say that my daughter’s vision has improved, she has learned to be patient, work hard even through challenges. Ainsley knows that she can do hard things! And hopefully on September 17th Dr. Ryan will give us the all clear and discharge us from vision therapy! On a side note I started reading more this summer and during Ainsley’s vison therapy sessions I’d read. I just completed my 7th book for the summer! So vision therapy helped rekindle my love for reading. I want to say thank you to Dr. Ryan and the staff at Lumen! Thank you for always being cheery, friendly and having a big smile on your faces. Being greeted by pleasant staff made such a difference in our day and made it much easier to come, especially over our summer break! Keep up the great work and thank you!”

“I like I spy. I like ABC fame. I like animal chart.”

AUBREY’S PARENT:

“During Kindergarten, Aubrey stared displaying behaviors at school during reading and writing time that were just not normal for her. We knew there was something going on that was making her frustrated. Since going to vision therapy Aubrey has gained confidence in herself and has shown an interest to read on her own and write us notes, which she never did before. I’m excited for Aubrey to go back to school this year with this new confidence in learning and hopefully watch her continue to flourish. I’m Thankful for the ream at Lumen. Each person has been wonderful, and they find ways to make vision therapy fun!”

“My name is Elly. I’m 9 years old. Before vison therapy I got a lot of headaches. Reading the board was hard especially after doing worksheets at my desk the words kept moving and seemed blurry. After vision therapy I don’t seem to get many headaches and the pages aren’t blurry anymore.”

ELYSE’S PARENT:

“After years of wondering why reading/schoolwork seemed so difficult, we went to the eye doctor for headaches Elyse had been having. After the appointment we were referred to Lumen Vision for eye therapy.

 Therapy had its struggles at home and wasn’t always easy. We found a routine that worked for us and made sure we stuck to it. Elly worked very hard each week and to hear her say, when people asked how therapy was going, that the words aren’t blurry anymore, showed that her hard work and dedication paid off.

 The staff at Lumen Vision are very professional and caring. When we walked in, we were always greeted with a friendly “hello”. You can tell the company truly cared that Elly was improving and not just another number to them. Thank you to all the staff that made Elyse’s journey with vision therapy such a success.”

“Vision therapy helped me be more focused than usual. I t was hard work, but I did it anyway. Some of it was fun and I like the fames, like the skull and zombie game. I liked going in and doing it there at Lumen.”

ABIGAIL’S PARENT:

“How Vision Therapy improved our lives….

Understanding Abby’s diagnosis was such an eye opener for me, understanding that everything she was doing was causing her fatigue and how these things were impacting her ability to succeed in school broke my heart. Since starting vision therapy Abby has shown she is better able to complete tasks without massive fatigue and this has been a massive win for her and our family. At first it was difficult for Abby to stay on task and to get her homework done, but as the weeks progressed it became easier and easier for her and less of a fight for me. It was always challenging to her, but she was not as tired after completing or less tires when it came to get it completed, which was great to see as a parent. I have3 also seen Abby’s interest in reading increase this school year which was something I never thought I would see. I am very exited to see how Lumen Vision and the vision therapy program has changed the trajectory of Abby’s path in her life and success not only in academics but in every aspect of her life.

Thank you, Lumen Vision!”

“My name is Phoenix W. I’m 13, and this how vision therapy s changing my life. I have a passion for reading historical documents, letters ext. and reading them was a big hustle, my eyes would bounce around the page and it was no longer fun reading. I have had vision therapy in the past somewhere else but they didn’t get the  results that is needed . And with Lumen Vision therapy I can now read my historical documents without the hustle of my eyes bouncing around. It use to take me about 2 minutes to read one page of the federalist papers, but now I can read one page in about 30 seconds.

The sports aspect of my life has also improved I can now track the ball much easier in lacrosse.”

PHOENIX’S PARENT :

“We have two children that have progressed at Lumen, Phoenix our 13-year-old and Rex our 11-year-old. Several years ago, we4 had attempted vision therapy at a different facility with Phoenix. The activities and homework were difficult and complex, and results seemed slow and difficult to measure leading to decreased compliance and leaving of the facility. With Lumen we enjoyed the organized well thought out program. The kids enjoyed having much of their “homework” being on the computer and the other portion often games/mazes. For both children I have seen improvement in sports Rex batting skills have vastly improve and Phoenix lacrosse goalie skills also improved. Phoenix has mentioned its much easier to read and not have to reread pages as her eyes “jumped around”. Rex also notes he can follow the words so much better. This process has been much less hassle and yield better and much quicker results. I feel this improvement definitely will help them both in the upcoming school year.

Thank You”

"Vision therapy has shown dedication to help my eyes focus better. They weekly homework was fun and resourceful. Thank you!”

DEXTER’S PARENT:

“Dexter has been able to show large amounts of dedication to the weekly appointments and homework. We are very proud of him. Lumen has great staff that made every week fun. We noticed toward the end that his fatigue was less during he exercises. We really appreciate the commitment to specialize his homework every week.

Thank you!”

“Vision therapy helps me see better because I can see long distance and close up. I like the things that we were doing together. I hope that I can see a lot better in class and the things are not blurry. I hope I can do my homework better and read better. I had a lot of fun with you guys. I hope school is better this year and not bad this year.”

DOMINIC’S PARENT:

“How did vison therapy change my son’s life?

He is actually wanting to read more than the required work. As I watch him do the homework, I have noticed the change in the eye movements he is able to correct his mistakes with out being asked. He enjoyed going to therapy and working with the amazing team. I think he knew how much it was helping him, so he was good about doing his homework as well. Thank you for the amazing work. I am excited to see how his year goes!”

DAX’S PARENT:

“Dax’s vison therapy journey stared by a quick vision check suggested by the school. Dr Ryan said our boy was 20/20, but his eyes struggled to track together fluently. This summer we made 10 weeks of weekly appointments work with our family’s schedule. He enjoyed every appointment, playing new games and hanging out with the friendliest staff who encouraged him every step of the way. Can’t wait to see all his hard work pay off this year in kindergarten.”
