School Related Vision Problems Testimonials
“Vision therapy has been an absolute game-changer for Emaline. Within a few weeks of therapy, her confidence exceled in reading & writing. The amazing therapists not only assisted in Emaline’s success of reading, writing, but has also carried over into extracurricular activities. When we are out or at home, she is quick to read and identify words, letters, and numbers that she previously struggled with. At the beginning of 1st grade, she was reading at a beginner kindergarten level. By the end of 1st grade (May 2019), she is reading at an almost 3rd grade level. Dr Ford and her staff provided Emaline with great care to achieve and overcome convergence insufficiency. Thank you so much for all that you have done for Emaline.”
- Lane’s Mom
“I feel that Lane had a new confidence going into his first year of high school. Before now, he had been relying so much on his auditory learning skills. I believe that he has gained the ability to be very successful going forward. I am amazed at his reading comprehension gains. I am only sad that we had not been here sooner.”
-Isabella’s Mom
“Bella now loves school. She is starting to love reading for pleasure. She no longer avoids challenges and is excelling at school and home. Her handwriting has improved and is now above grade level.”
“We have been absolutely amazed watching our son go from a struggling 2nd grader with a kindergarten reading level to a confident and proud 2nd grader with an above-average reading level. Homework time is no longer filled with frustration and tears. He loves to surprise me and tell me he got it done without my help. I would 100% recommend South Tulsa Vision Development Center, Dr. Ford and her staff are absolutely wonderful and very accommodating. Thank you, Dr. Ford and staff, for all you’ve done for Asher! We are very grateful.”
Adult Patient Testimonials
“Vision therapy gave me my confidence back to know I could get through each day. Staff here is amazing! They really want the best for you and push you at the same time. I still have days where my vision feels “off” but I just try and rest and know it will come back very soon. When I first started I could not work at a computer or look at a phone for long periods. I now can do many long tasks at the computer, ride in a boat, sleep with just one pillow, and felt confident enough to take a middle school teaching job. I will recommend any kids I see having issues for sure. (Adults too)”
- Amanda
“Dr Ford and her staff were extremely professional and took a great deal of time to make this experience a fantastic one. My vision had great improvement and I couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve seen.”
- Jacob F
“Vision therapy has helped my productivity, as I no longer have to worry about headaches from reading or computer work. It’s also made things more convenient because I can check my phone without looking for my glasses. I look forward to seeing how this therapy will help in the long term.”
“Eye Therapy was a great experience. The employees were caring and joined together to accomplish the end result which was helping my eye sight. I can now see a lot better and most of the double vision is gone. If you need eye therapy this is the place to go.”
Traumatic Brain Injuries / Concussion Patient Testimonials
“I am really happy that I have received vision therapy during my concussive diagnosis. After the accident at work, I had an increase of headaches, light sensitivity, dizziness, balance issues, and feeling “swimmy & swooshie” headed. The dizziness and blurriness to my visual field worsened, and I was very concerned when the issues did not resolve with time. After being referred to a concussion specialist, my doctor found that I had sever convergence and eye teaming issues. Working with the vision therapists as well as a balance therapist really helped me to work on getting my brain and eyes to work together effectively again. It is amazing to me the difference I feel after completing my vision therapy. I highly recommend this therapy to anyone who has suffered a traumatic brain injury or severe concussion, I think more doctors should learn about the positive effects and results this type of therapy can have for their patients.”
- Lizzy
“Before therapy, reading was the worst thing I could think of doing because of my concussion. After therapy and the help of reading glasses, reading and focusing is so much easier and I don’t even give it a second thought. Words don’t blur, copying things from the board is no problem, and headaches have improved for sure! Very thankful for everything vision therapy has helped”!
-Rachel
“I came in two months after my car accident with no peripheral vision and after five months I’m back to 20/20 vision. It feels amazing. The staff is so great they wanted my vision back more than I did, I think.”
“We heard about Dr. Ford from Mason’s teacher. He has always struggled with attention, headaches, behavior and an overall dislike of reading. We decided after several concussions from soccer and his school struggles to get him checked. We were shocked to learn of his condition and just how severe his eye teaming, tracking and focus was. The doctor explained how this was affecting his school and soccer skills and overall life enjoyment. As a parent it is painful to see your child struggle and since vision therapy we have seen amazing changes in Mason. He can now focus, his soccer skills have elevated and he has asked to read for pleasure once again. We love the results and would recommend it for all athletes who have had concussions! We are so glad we did vision therapy!”
Eye Turn (Lazy Eye) Patient Testimonials
“Vision therapy with Dr. Ford and Sylvia was life changing for Levi. He went from seeing double, not being able to read and being incredibly clumsy to seeing clearly and … well… less clumsy. Visibly his eyes are straight, finally! His grades are finally good again too! Without hesitation, I recommend South Tulsa Vision Development Center.”
- Will’s Mom
“Our son has had great improvement in his reading speed and ability. He also has depth perception for the first time in his life.”
-Tripp’s Mom
“Tripp has improved so much with his sports, wrestling and baseball. He has contacts now and he’s excited that everything won’t be blurry when he wrestles now. Tripp has started baseball and is hitting and catching the ball so much better and with confidence. Tripp has learned during his vision therapy to recognize when his eye is turning and how to fix it. So now he feels like he is in control of his eyes. A big ‘thank you’ to Dr Ford for introducing Tripp to contacts, he loves them”!
“...STVDC gave us the tools and motivation to work with Isabelle on a daily basis to improve not only her eyesight, but her vision. With weekly appointments and daily homework, Isabelle can now control both of her eyes and focus on objects that are up close and far away, which will be very beneficial as she goes into first grade next year and has to copy notes off of the board at the front of the room. Now Isabelle loves to read to her little brother and sister and is a star student in the classroom. We are so thankful for vision therapy and the difference it has made in our little girl.”
