“Vision therapy has helped my vision. I can see better out of my bad eye. I can see while playing sports.”

ANDREW’S PARENT:

“This was AJ’s second around of Vision Therapy for his lazy eye. His first round of Vision Therapy improved AJ’s vision tremendously. During this round of Vision Therapy, I have noticed his reading skills improved even more. He is doing better in school than he did before attending Vision Therapy. He has also finally accepted that wearing his glasses helps him sleep. I have no doubt that if it wasn’t for Vision Therapy that it would still be a constant fight to wear his glasses.

I think this Vision Therapy program is incredible. All the instructors are awesome, and AJ has never complained about having to come. His favorite part of Vision Therapy is the virtual reality games. I would recommend this program to anyone who needs it. Dr. Ryan is great with kids and made this entire process really easy.”

“Vision therapy has been fun and it helps me with sports. I feel like I can see way better and read better. I’m thankful for vision therapy. Thank you for helping me!”

BRODEN’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy has boosted Broden’s confidence, especially when playing sports. Since completing his therapy, his focus has improved significantly, his vision is clearer, and his depth perception is much better. This has directly translated to a huge boost in his confidence on the baseball field and basketball court. We appreciate everything Lumen Vision has done to improve Broden’s eyesight and overall quality of life!”

“Vision Therapy is changing my life by helping my eyes work together and keeping my eyes healthy.”

KORBIN’S PARENT:

“Eye therapy has helped Korbin with his eyes working better together. He has worked very hard every week to complete his homework. He has been very motivated to get it done and doesn’t need many reminders to do his assignments.”

"How is Vision Therapy changing my life?

It helped me with my reading and writing., The games were fun.”

KAELYN’S PARENT:

“All staff at Lumen Vision have treated us with care and compassion. This was all new to us and they took the time to answer any questions and explained things well. We look forward to seeing progress made on our final exam visit. We are hopeful!!”

GRANT’S PARENT:

“Grant has been working hard at his vision therapy, and overall, he enjoys it. His favorite part in my opinion has been the computer games. He also likes hidden picture puzzles.

It’s hard to tell his improvement as it is hard to see visibly, but we are trusting that his eye muscles are getting stronger and stronger and working together better. We do not notice any eye turns.

We live a long way away from Fargo (2 hours) so this has been a big commitment for us and him. We have enjoyed some quality car ride time and look forward to our Therapy days. He also misses about a half a day of school each week to go to therapy.

We are thankful for the great staff and Grant has enjoyed each of you he has worked with. Thank you for taking great care of him.”

“Vision therapy helped me because before I started, I had no depth perception. And my eyes didn’t work well together. Vision therapy helped with that and now my eyes work better together. I also can see a lot better without my glasses on. I am glad I did vision therapy because if I didn’t do it I wouldn’t have as good vision.”

PHINEHAS’ PARENT:

“Phinehas has had great success in his vision therapy sessions. His vision when he removes his glasses has improved, a surprise bonus for him as he did not expect that to happen, He also reports that his vision is better with his glasses, as his eyes stay together better.

Being committed to practicing twice daily has also helped him become more responsible. Phinehas also says that his depth perception has improved, leading him to have more confidence in sports. He currently has a purple trim in Tae Kwon Do, with a goal of “catching up” to his older brother that is a junior black belt.

Overall, vison therapy has been very beneficial to Phinehas.”

“I am Hadley and I am 10 years old. I think Vision Therapy has changed my life because now my right eye is strong. I am happy and sad that Vision Therapy is maybe done. I am happy because I don’t have to leave school early to go but I am also sad because I don’t get to see everybody anymore.”

HADLEY’S PARENT:

“When we first heard the words “lazy eye,” a wave of fear and sadness washed over me. As a parent, you want nothing more than to shield your child from struggle, to clear every hurdle from their path before they even reach it. Knowing that my daughter was facing something that could impact her learning, her confidence, and her happiness broke my heart. But we also knew we had to find a way forward. That was vision therapy – and it turned out to be nothing short of life-changing.

We started vison therapy: 30-minute sessions once a week for 10 weeks, along with nightly exercises at home. It wasn’t always easy. Some nights were filled with frustration and tears. But she kept pushing forward with more strength and courage than I could have imagined.

Little by little, we saw incredible changes – not just in how her eye functioned, but in how she carried herself. She started reading more confidently, playing more freely, smiling more brightly. Her lazy eye improved, but even more importantly, she blossomed.

Vison therapy gave her more than clear sight. It gave her courage. It gave her pride. It gave her the quiet, powerful knowledge that she could do hard things and come out stronger on the other side. It restored something inside her that fear had begun to take away: belief in herself.

Thanks to vison therapy, she sees the world – and herself – more clearly than ever before.”

"Dear Lumen Vision Therapy,

I like Lumen. I like red and green. I like drawing pictures. I like making burgers, ice cream, building, and card games. Vision therapy was hard work and I did not like to do homework sometimes but I did it all. Vision therapy helped me score more goals in soccer and made shots in basketball. I think I can read better too. Thank you vision therapists. I love Dr. Ryan. He is the best.”

LIAM’S PARENT:

“Overall, Liam has improved confidence in both his reading and in his activities of soccer, baseball, basketball. We have seen his skills improve in each of these areas as well. Vision therapy was intensive, and Liam sometimes struggled to want to complete his homework and had some big emotions during the process, but he did complete everything he needed to with support form us/his parents. The fun HomeKit activities/hands on homework were easier to do and he enjoyed doing them. He liked to see his score increase in the random dot task and it really helped to motivate him to complete the homework knowing he would earn the $50.00 at the end of the program. Liam loved working with each therapist, and he really likes Dr. Ryan. Liam was 5 years old during the process and it did help him to start when school started as he seemed to be more mature. Due to his young age, I think vision therapy set him up for success for his reading skills, sports skills, and his confidence in both. The weekend breaks helped. If there was any wat to shorten the process, I think that would be helpful. Caregivers definitely need to be committed to the program to support their child. Thank you, Lumen, for helping our family. Also, the billing department/staff were very helpful when breaking down the costs for treatment.”

“I agree with my mom my eyes are working good.”

JAXON’S PARENT:

“I hope it has helped Jaxon in some way that will help him stay focused more in school.”

“Vision therapy has made me happier. I like doing the virtual reality and the girls that work with me make it fun. I have noticed that I enjoy reading more and am much better at it.”

COOPER’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy has been a great experience for Cooper and me. He looks forward to his appointments every week, especially the virtual reality part. I have notice when we go places and I point out a plane or an animal he can see it now and much quick or when he does. I have also notice he has started to enjoy reading. Vision therapy has been great, and the staff at Lumen vision have also been fantastic. He has so much fun with them and they are also very helpful and friendly.”

“Math and piano have gotten easier. I got better at reading my numbers and letters.”

KAILEECE’S PARENT:

“After completing 10 weeks of Vision Therapy at Lumen Vision we have seen our daughter improve in her ability to read, play piano and work on math. Before completing the 10 weeks she would get really frustrated while trying to use her eyes to find the information she needed, because she would see the word, number or note twice. This past week she was happy to read to her 20year-old brother and has more confidence with math and piano. It has been neat to see her want to play piano for her friends.”

“The games were fun. The people were funny and nice.”

EMERSYN’S PARENT:

“We learned a lot of things regarding Emersyn’s vision in her initial consult that made a lot of sense in things we were seeing at home. We were eager to start. It ended up being very intensive for Emmy and we sure did our best! We had a lot harder times getting her to do the worksheets, so I am eager to see how her post testing goes. I am hoping she was able to do enough to show some progress, time will tell. The staff and Dr. Ryan were great to work with.”

"Vision Therapy has made my eyes feel better. It has helped me read better and see better.”

CAMDEN'S PARENT:

"Vision therapy has been a transformative experience for my child. Initially, my child struggled with various challenges that affected his academic performance and certain aspects of daily life. As we are near the end of our vision therapy journey, positive changes have been noted by many. This therapy, which involves a personalized program of computer-based eye exercises and activities aimed at improving visual skills and building a stronger connection between what his eyes see and the message the brain receives, has significantly boosted my child’s ability to focus, read, and engage in classroom activities with more confidence and ease.

Before starting vision therapy, my child would often have trouble staying focused during tasks that involved reading and writing. We noticed a lot of tiredness, difficulty concentrating and avoidance during tasks that required visual attention. The frustration was evident, and it began to impact his self-esteem. However, since beginning therapy, we have noticed a vast improvement in his ability to track and focus, which has allowed him to perform better in school, particularly in the subjects of math and reading.

Vision therapy has helped my child develop confidence in himself and his ability to succeed in school. He no longer avoids doing certain tasks and is less reluctant to do the harder work at school. We are grateful for the tools that Vision Therapy has given our child and we are exited for our child to continue to strengthen his newly sharpened skills and continue to see positive improvements in his school work as well as daily life tasks.”

“Vision Therapy has helped me with reading faster. I can keep my place easier. I really enjoyed the games we played; the Random Dot was my favorite. Everyone that works at Lumen was nice to me.

OLIVIA’S PARENT:

“We began seeing concerns with Olivia and started questioning a diagnosis of dyslexia. After a nearly impossible task of getting her assessed for dyslexia and diagnosed, we were also urged to check out a functional vision exam with Lumen. This led us to vision therapy. I am glad we complete it, as it has helped with Olivia’s reading fluency and improved her confidence. It put us on the right path for success! The staff at Lumen are top notch!”

“Vision therapy helped my eyes be better and stronger. Because my eyes are less tired. I have better focus. I can see a bit better. I can see a bit more straight. I also like playing the games.”

JORDYN’S PARENT:

“First, we have seen a dramatic decrease in the lazy eye and eye turning that was happening prior to therapy. We have notice that her focus on things such as reading, drawing have increased. We have not heard any complaints form Jordyn during therapy and she enjoyed working with everyone at Lumen.”

“I am so happy that I have improved my eyes. Now I don’t get headaches. Eye therapy is actually fun!”

KANYON’S PARENT:

“As our 10 weeks of vision therapy comes to an end, I am extremely gratefully our local eye doctor sent us to see Dr Ryan and the Team at Lumen Vision. It has been rewarding seeing Kanyon’s headaches improving and hearing such positive feedback from your team. I am excited about our next visit with Dr Ryan to see just how impactful vision therapy has been for Kanyon.

From our very first visit, the entire staff have been incredible. Dr Ryan, the vision therapy team, administrative ladies and financial coordinator all top notch. Then plan, the goal, the financial aspect was all crystal clear from our first visits.

Extreme gratitude for the team at Lumen Vision.”

“ It helped me read better than I used to, and I liked to play games with the helpers.”

BRIDGER’S PARENT :

“Bridger’s ability to track and stay focused during reading has improved. At age 10, we felt we needed to help him in any way we could to address reading challenges. Vision therapy was one way to do that. The therapists were very kind and excellent to work with him.”

"I have gotten better at being social and I have gotten less tired at school over the weeks and months. Lumen Vision has helped me overcome stress in school and getting to be me again. I am proud to say that my eyes can see more clearly and brighter. I loved the workers there. They were with me on every step of the way and guided me to become someone in the future that can achieve my goals.

I’ve not only made friends at Lumen but Guardians to help and lead me more to God. The lessons are FUN!!! That I’m excited to see how Lumen does such a good job with kids and even adults.

Thanks, LUMEN VISION, for always being by my side to every step of the way.”

JADE’S PARENT:

“Vision Therapy has really been helpful for Jade! We initially started therapy because Jade had a lazy eye periodically. Her vision was 20/20 in that eye, but it would wander sometimes, especially when she was tired. After two cycles of therapy, I excited to say her lazy eye is 80-90% improved! Her eyes still wander occasionally, but it is FAR less than before. Before vision therapy, we notice it daily. Now, it is rare to see.

Jade enjoyed going to the weekly appointments. Everyone there was very engaging with her. To have a teenager WANT to go to appointments and (most of the time 😊) be positive about doing her daily homework must mean Lumen is doing it right! 😊

We had been told by multiple other optometrists that there was really nothing to be done about Jade’s lazy eye. They said that her Ivison was good, but just that one eye was doing most all the work and that’s the way it was. We had been told patching wouldn’t help but maybe get her glasses someday. Other healthcare professional suggested that one eye doing most of her daily work could contribute to the fatigue she felt daily. After vision therapy with her eye vastly improved, we have seen that contribute to making a noticeable difference in her daily energy levels!

We are VERY grateful for Lumen Vision and the Vision Therapy program!”

CHARLIE’S PARENT:

“My 7-year-old daughter, Charlie, looked forward to her vision therapy session every week, which says a lot! The therapy made a noticeable difference, especially with her letter recognition. I appreciated how her homework was enjoyable for her and how it coincided with what she is currently learning in school. We’re so grateful for the support and progress she made. Lumen Vision has an amazing staff-kind, professional, and great with kids. Highly recommend Lumen Vision to any parent considering vision therapy for their child!”

“Vision therapy helped me track and follow letters and numbers. It also helped me to be a better reader. The lessons were fun, and I enjoyed vision therapy.”

LANCE’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy has been great for Lance. We have seen all improvements in his reading over the last 8 weeks. Along with him, letting us know he has noticed a change at school too. We are so glad we got our referral to Lumen Vision to have Lance’s eyes checked. Before that we had not heard of ocular motor dysfunction and how it can affect eh eyes and how one learns. We are hopeful for the future and looking forward to all the progress Lance will be able to make with reading and school.

Thanks so Much!”
