“I enjoyed going to vision therapy each week. The staff was nice, the sessions were fun, and the games didn’t take long to do at home. I can tell my eyes are getting stronger. And I am very happy that I won’t need bifocals anymore.”

AIVA’S PARENT:

“When my daughter began the 10-week therapy sessions, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. But by halfway through the sessions we noticed her eyes already getting stronger, and she was no longer using her bifocals for reading. We were amazed by how quickly the therapy took effect and are happy with her outcome.”

“Vision therapy helps my eyes. Everyone is nice and I love you guys. They make my eyes feel better. Thank you.”

EASTON’S PARENT:

“Since beginning eye therapy, Easton has shown noticeable improvement in his reading fluency (especially in diagraph/blending letters!), and his ability to follow across the page.”

“Thank you Lumen Vision for helping me with my vision. Everyone was kind and helpful at my visits. I enjoyed that the worst was done by playing games. My vision is less blurry and it is easier to focus.”

KILIAN’S PARENT:

“We came to Lumen Vision because our son needed vision therapy due to an Oculomotor Dysfunction Diagnosis. All of the staff has been great to work with, answering questions and providing status updates at each visit. Lumen made the process easy, providing hands-on instructions initially, and very clear direction for the necessary homework. We have noticed improvements in Killian's school performance, specifically in math, which we attribute to his Vision Therapy.”

"When I read it’s easier to follow when I am not using my finger. I didn’t have a chance to read a book on the board. But, I am hoping that is better too. Everyone is nice.”

EVERLY’S PARENT:

“The thing I’ve noticed throughout Vision Therapy is that i don’t think Everly’s eye turns out as often as it used to. When it does, it seems she can bring it back into alignment better herself. However, she doesn’t even realize she’s doing this! The staff at Lumen Vision are amazing! The Therapists that she worked with weekly were incredibly nice and everyone was very welcoming!”

“My name is Ian. I am 9 years old. Vision therapy has made reading easier. I like dancing with my near/far chart. Thank you.”

IAN’S PARENT:

“Ian, my 9-year-old son, has struggled with reading since kindergarten. Despite many interventions, reading has continued to be difficult and he will soon be entering fourth grade. Our goal for vision therapy was straightforward: to make reading easier. After completing 10 weeks of therapy, Ian indicates that reading has become more manageable. I’ve observed an increase in his willingness to read, including reading signs around town and attempting books voluntarily. Given his dyslexia, reading will probably always be somewhat challenging; however, I am thankful that vision therapy has made learning more accessible.”

“I like that it helps me see great.”

JACK’S PARENT:

“Before beginning vision therapy, our 6-year-old son often complained about headaches. Then he said his vision was blurry and he would sporadically see double, so we scheduled an optometrist appointment thinking glasses were probably in his future.

After consulting the optometrist and getting referred to Lumen Vision, we discovered that our son had a condition affecting his visual processing and tracking – a condition that ordinarily glasses could not address. This revelation was the start of our journey into Vision Therapy.

When we initially described the program to him, he was excited because he got to do it on our iPad. Overall, it felt more like fun than therapy, which was essential for keeping him motivated to do it. It could be hard for him, especially at such a young age, to consistently have homework twice a day that sometimes he just didn't want to do, or he was too tired for. He was up for the challenge though and persevered. He did it, even when it was hard and even when he didn't want to. In fact, he did it more than was required of him. He is competitive and he challenged himself to keep trying. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments.

His headaches have diminished. His vision is no longer blurry, nor does he see double.

Vision therapy allowed our son to see what we already knew about him. He faces challenges with resilience and approaches new experiences with curiosity and positivity. We are so grateful that it was caught easily and so proud of him for committing to completing the program. Vision therapy is a family commitment, but we are glad we did it.”

“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.”

"This is how vision therapy has changed my life. My eyes weren’t focusing on the same spot on. I was suggested it by doctors. Then they had me do some eye test.

Eye therapy that we did was at the eye place and at home. The work was kind of fun. I had three therapists that were nice.

I would recommend it for people in need.”

ELIJAH’S PARENT:

“How has vision therapy changed my son’s life? My son, Elijah Hoagland has gone from having near weekly migraines to 0 migraines since around the mid-way point in his vision therapy. No more days lost to laying around in bed waiting for the migraine to pass. This meant less days of school missed and less activities needing to be changed or cancelled last minute due to him getting a migraine.

I have generally seen more joy and happiness in him over the last couple of weeks and a great deal has to be due to vision therapy. Also the entire staff have been great to work with as they are great and they always greet you with a smile and warm reception. My son just turned 13 yesterday and I can once see the joy in his daily life.

A very happy dad!”

“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.”

“I loved it. I loved how fun the paperwork sheets were and now I can draw 3D!”

FINLEY’S PARENT:

“Vision therapy has made a positive impact in our child’s life. We can tell that his eye is noticeably straighter and holds straight for longer periods of time. It is not perfect but we realize that this process/therapy is not a sprint but much more of a marathon. I was born with a lazy eye, it does not wander but my vision is not good. Knowing that there is therapy to help treat his eye makes us excited and determined to keep Finley in it, and working hard to correct it. Thank you Lumen Vision for all that you do, your staff are amazing. Finley feels comfortable and welcomed every day he is there.”

“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.”

"Prior to beginning eye therapy, I had no idea what it was. It really changed my life though. I was struggling with headaches, constant nausea, and seeing far distances. The variety of exercises were engaging and fun. The staff were all kind, supportive, and I loved every one of them. It was fun having a different person every session. One of my highlights was working on Tobi! Overall, eye therapy has helped me learn about my eyes and helped the heal.

Thank you Lumen Vision!”

EVE'S PARENT:

"I feel Eve’s eye therapy has been a good experience. I was able to notice improvements early on in the treatment. Her complaints about headaches and not being able to read from further distance decreased in the first couple of weeks. The homework was simple and easy to understand.

Working with the staff at Lumen has also been a good experience. Everyone was very friendly and easily answered any questions we had. They were very accommodating with the schedule and made it easy to reschedule if we needed.

Thank you!”

“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!”

“I liked the games. I liked the papers. It was a little hard.”

ELI’S PARENT:

“Vision Therapy has been easy to use and easy to set an 8 year old to complete the lessons. The iPad is very in tune with the era we are in and the paper games he thought they were fun. Staff were great! Overall it was a painless experience and we are hopeful that his vision has improved.”

“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!”
