“Vision therapy has taught me self discipline in completing tasks every day. Therapy is changing me into a better reader.”

GEORGE’S PARENT:

“When George begun vision therapy our concern was would he would take it seriously? It’s a large investment. We were proud to see George take it seriously and work hard at it. We built in a reward system at home for completing therapy tasks. He did it on days he didn’t need to. Thank you Lumen Vision.”

“I like the virtual reality on the computer and the Fireball video game on the website.”

GREYSON’S PARENT:

“The program was a lot of hard work, and it was tough at times to get Greyson to complete the lessons, but it was worth it. I no longer see him squinting and blinking to watch a movie or play on his iPad. He may not notice the benefits of the program, but we have.”

“Hi it’s Killian! I thought Lumen Vision helped a lot! At first it was blurry on and off and now I can see a lot better because of Lumen Vision!!! Yay! Thank you! I’ll miss you a lot!”

KILLIAN’S PARENT:

“I can’t begin to explain how helpful vision therapy has been for Killian. Prior to his diagnosis, reading was a chore for him—he didn’t enjoy it, the words “moved around the page” and/or were blurry, despite his vision being normal. With vision therapy, he actually enjoys reading now and doesn’t skip over words. The therapy itself was so fun for him. He loves video games and technology, so gamifying the process made it something he truly looked forward to. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming and seem to really love what they do. Overall, the experience with Lumen Vision has been wonderful, and Killian already misses his therapy sessions.”

"It is helping me read. My eyes don’t get tired as much. I can focus on things for longer times.”

LUKE’S PARENT:

“How is Vision Therapy changing my son and our families lives? Vision therapy has helped my 7-year-old son Luke in so many ways. One of the biggest ways it has helped is by helping be able to read with more ease and read for longer periods. His hand eye coordination has also improved so much. One thing I was not expecting is his ability to focus better and longer. It is such a joy to get to see Luke grow in his confidence and his abilities through vision therapy!

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity.”

“Eye Therapy has helped me to see God’s animals better!”

OLIVIA’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy has been a blessing not only our daughter but to all of us in her family as well as an answer to so many prayers! Since our daughter was very young, we could tell something wasn’t right with her eyes. After seeing an optometrist for a few years, we were told to wait it out in hopes that her brain and eyes would be able to make the corrections on their own since she was so young. However, over time we could tell that that wasn’t going to happen, so we tried the next step, which was glasses. While the glasses definitely made some improvements we felt more could be done for her and this is when vison therapy came into play. As a family we were so eager and excited for her vision therapy to start but we were nervous for her and she fought through her nerves as she completed the assessment. Finding out she was accepted for the program was very thrilling for us, as we wanted so badly to try something to help our sweet daughter see God’s creation better! She has enjoyed many of the “homework” activities and computer-based games that are part of the therapy program. Some of these activities were challenging for her but overtime they seemed to become easier, and she gained more confidence as she completed them! She has enjoyed working with all the therapists who truly seem to make each therapy session fun for her, and we are so grateful for each of them!

Amazingly, vision therapy has not only helped our daughter with her Strabismus diagnosis, but it has also boosted her self-esteem in knowing that she can do all things if she prays, trust in God, and puts her mind to it. These steps have been a huge blessing as they have already flowed into other areas of her life. We are so excited for her beautiful eyes to clearly see the big, amazing world that God created! Thank you Lumen Vision, for helping this prayer to be answered!”

“I really like the headset. Also, the new activities and games. Some I can play with my family.”

SAWYER’S PARENT:

“Just before Sawyer’s yearly eye exam he was complaining of headaches and stating that he was occasionally squinting in class to see the board. We also noticed that he would have trouble seeing through binoculars and our microscope. This summer he hasn’t complained of these symptoms and using these devices has been a little easier for him. We have definitely noticed that his confidence has grown. He is confident in the office with his vision therapy friends and at home. We are excited to see that confidence travel with him and continue to grow as he starts school for the year. He has discovered lots of new, fun, and exciting games to enjoy. These are also games and activities that we have been enjoying as a family.”

“Vision therapy is changing my life by helping me read better. It has made reading not as hard for me. Dr. Ryan and my therapists are very nice and funny. It is always fun to play the games during my office visits. It is crazy that they actually help my eyes! When we first started I didn't think I would like it but the more I came the more fun it was and the homework wasn't hard either. I'm really going to miss my therapists and Dr. Ryan but I'm glad they helped me like reading more.”

LIVIA’S PARENT:

“After years of no solid answers for our ten year old we went to our very first appointment, at Lumen Vision, with zero expectations. To say we were blown away after our very first appointment is an understatement! To walk away with not only a diagnosis but also a plan moving forward was so validating and emotional as a parent to a child that has struggled with very few answers as to why. Dr. Ryan and his entire staff are so friendly and caring from the second you walk into the office you immediately at ease. Livia’s therapists are exceptional and always communicate homework and expectations clearly. Before Livia’s 10 weeks were even done we noticed a difference in her attitude towards reading. Something that often would lead to tears due to frustration and peer exhaustion is something that is coming easier and she has ever started reading for fun at home! Talk about a game changer! I can't thank Lumen Vision enough for their patience and dedication during our Vision Therapy journey. It has truly been life changing.”

"I noticed that doing eye therapy in the spring/summer it was harder to see changes. I did notice fewer headaches and my eyes didn’t hurt. During baseball season the ball was more clear and easier to hit. I am thankful for my eye therapist and Dr Ryan.”

JACK’S PARENT:

“Thank you again to Dr Ryan and the eye therapists at Lumen! Before starting our second round of vision therapy, Jack was experiencing many headaches again, along with blurred vision and jumping words. We are happy to say that has all gotten much better.”

“Vision therapy has helped me. I used to have tons of headaches, now I have none. Thank you for helping me!”

VERA’S PARENT:

“My daughter Vera, age 8 years, has struggled with headaches for years. We took her to chiropractors and pediatricians to try to find answers. We were told to give her more water and keep her hydrated. The headaches got worse, they would last for days accompanied by nausea. Her reading progress was affected and she was put in a Title I program.

A local eye doctor was able to tell us that she suspected an eye tracking issue and sent us to Lumen Vision. After weeks of therapy, the headaches are almost non-existent and Vera is enjoying reading again.”

“My name is Meredith, I am almost 9 years old, and this is how vision therapy has changed my life. The games on my tablet are fun and really help my vision. Like when I couldn’t see anything but now I can see pretty well with my bad eye. Those are some reasons why vision therapy has changed my life.”

MEREDITH’S PARENT:

“When we learned that Meredith had amblyopia, we were very surprised. She had no signs or complaints of a vision struggle. It was not until an eye exam when she was 7 we learned of her condition. We started by having her wear specialized Shaw lenses which showed improvement in her condition. After using the glasses for about a year we decided to step up her treatment to include vision therapy. With the addition of vision therapy we have noticed a significant improvement. I have noticed increased eye-hand coordination and faster reading speed. I actually have two girls in vision therapy and love how Lumen customized specific treatment plans for each to give each girl the max benefit. Both girls also liked going to the clinic because the staff and therapists were so friendly. They also enjoyed the homework especially the games on the tablet. I would definitely recommend vision therapy at Lumen Vision to others.”

“As I was taking my vision therapy sessions, I slowly, but surely, noticed how I no longer see words blur or turn into other words. I no longer felt a slight pain in my head as I read. I’m glad to say that that stayed the same, a month after. Thank you, Lumen Vision, for your helpful, yet fun therapy sessions!”

ZION’S PARENT:

“As I’ve reflected on the factors which have contributed to the successful strides our son has made, we’ve come to realize the facts that Zion is old enough at 14 to be independent with his therapy at home, has not been the primary reason it has felt effortless as a parent to assure he was doing his home assignments. Undoubtedly, style of therapies from Lumen Vision utilities provided just enough “fun factor” to motivate Zion to rarely need to be reminded to practice and complete his work for the week. Additionally, the savvy earning incentive Lumen Vision offers kids under 17 and under definitely added to his desire to meet the goals we’ve mutually hoped for. Thank you, Lumen Vision staff for your can-do, “go for it”, cheerful spirit we’ve experienced each week!”

ISABELLA’S PARENT:

“My daughter Ella is autistic and was born with strabismus. She had a few surgeries early on. The surgeries had helped a lot to correct the direction of her eye gaze but not completely. We switched from her previous eye doctor based on a recommendation from her occupational therapist because she had other clients who found success with vision therapy. Ella has done a few 10 week sessions of therapy and with each one we have seen improvement with her eyes staying lined up. We have also noticed better depth perception. All the staff is great with Ella and making accommodation for her autism so she still gets great benefit from each weekly session. She loves the at home games and activities. I would absolutely recommend Lumen Vision to anyone.”

"My name is Josh and my age is 13. It is work but I can read some more words. The drive is long but it is worth it. I thought it was working.”

JOSHUA'S GUARDIAN:

"We have been attending vision therapy at Lumen Vision for a few weeks now and it has helped him tremendously. We like to play a lot of games and such as a family that requires a lot of reading and writing, and while Josh still participated I don’t feel like he ever fully enjoyed himself until recently he seems to have more fun and confidence than ever before and is actually looking forward to the upcoming school year to show the kids and teachers all the progress he has made throughout the summer and for that me and my family will be forever grateful to everyone here at Lumen Vision.”

“My name is Lenox I am nine years old. My favorite thing about vision therapy is Virtual Reality. Vision therapy has helped me by seeing better.”

LENOX’S PARENT:

“My son Lenox is 9 years old and has absolutely loved doing vision therapy. When he first started the both of us were a little nervous. As a mom I knew this journey would not always be easy but it would be 100% worth it at the end. Lumen Vision has been so helpful and kind every step of this process. Everyone has made this process so fun and engaging for him. Lenox has learned so many new skills during this process all through doing different games. His confidence has grown daily doing his at home work. Watching him progress and seeing how he’s able to be more confident has been amazing.”

“Lumen Vision has changed my vision by helping me see better and having less headaches.”

PETER’S PARENT:

“After speaking with Peter’s doctor about persistent tension headaches, she suggested a sensorimotor exam with Dr. Ryan. I was skeptical until I saw the evidence. The sensorimotor exam showed us that Peter’s eyes were having difficulty tracking together. We had no idea his brain was working that hard, especially at school. We definitely saw the need for vision therapy.

The kindness and fun that Dr. Ryan and his team brought to the whole experience helped us feel comfortable. Peter enjoyed every session with the knowledgeable therapists. The homework was manageable and even fun! Over time, Peter’s headaches decreased exponentially. When asked, Peter says that he can tell his vision is also better. He was a glasses wearer before, but we hadn’t realized his tracking was off. We are so grateful for Lumen Vision!”

“Vision therapy has helped me not to have so many headaches while reading books. I enjoyed getting to play the virtual reality games. The teachers are all very nice.”

“I had fun in therapy. There was lots of cool prizes and the games were so fun. Thank you Lumen Vision.”

JETT’S PARENT :

“Our experience with Lumen Vision has been amazing. We first met Dr Ryan back when our son was 3 years old getting his first pair of glasses and was just starting his vision journey. We have always had a wonderful experience with the whole team at Lumen and wouldn’t choose anyone else for anyone in our family. Dr Ryan has always created a fun experience for him, as well as being informative and honest with us as parents to help decide when the right time was for him to take the next steps in his journey and begin the vision therapy program. Fast forward to now, he’s ten years old and just completed a vision therapy program through Lumen for his Oculomotor Dysfunction. Along with this our son has ADHD and Autism, adding an extra set of needs required to keep him on task and learning. The team at Lumen made his vision therapy experience and at home assignments fun, engaging, and motivating with challenges and rewards along the way. We have seen such an improvement in his ability to track while reading, drawing, and writing while following lines. These are all tasks that he has struggled with completing without frustration and is now completely them with more ease and is able to focus on them longer. We have no doubt that this will be a building block he can continue to grow from in his other therapies as well! Thank you Lumen Vision!”

"My eyesight is better. I am wearing my glasses way more. I liked spending time with the therapists my favorite game on Visual Brain is fireball.”

MICAH’S PARENT:

“I can tell a significant difference in Micah’s drifting eye, we hardly notice it at all. My husband and I have noticed he is much more eager and willing to wear his glasses.”

“It helps me read.”

RAEGAN’S PARENT:

“We are so thankful for the work that Lumen Vision provides through vision therapy. This program has given us much hope in learning how to improve reading. Raegan has truly loved getting to know the girls she has worked with. It has been hard work, with that comes great reward! We hope to continue to watch Raegan grow and succeed, with the tools she has gained from this program.”

“I realized how much better I got at Vision Therapy and how much better my eyes got this helped me a lot. Thank you!”

ZACHARY’S PARENT:

“Zachary has been doing vision therapy for 20 weeks now. This time around it was harder to get him to do homework, but we pushed through.

His screening with his eye doctor had seen some improvement, so I think vision therapy is helping out.

Plus, Zachary likes coming because mom gets us Chic-fil-A for lunch!”
