Nearly all humans are born with the potential for good eyesight. However, vision - the ability to identify, interpret, and understand what is seen - is learned and developed starting from birth. Thus, 20/20 visual acuity in each eye might not be enough. The ability to use both eyes together, smoothly, equally, simultaneously, effortlessly, and accurately is important for the visual system. Not having adequate visual skills can impact many aspects of life.

The Vision and Learning Center specializes in understanding the extent of your vision difficulties and finding solutions to alleviate the troubling symptoms. We specialize in helping patients gain visual skills so they can function better in the classroom, work, sports, and life.

We help our patients avoid the greatest tragedy in the world - lost human potential.

Using one-on-one vision therapy, trained doctors and therapists select specific vision therapy procedures tailored to your level of vision functioning. Patients will learn to improve the skills of eye-tracking, eye-focusing, and eye-teaming for better visual function. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. However, we make therapy fun!

Our office in the Collegeville area is easy to reach. Our therapy hours accommodate needs of school students and working adults.

Vision and Learning Center provides:
  • Binocular Vision Evaluations are used to understand the extent of vision problems related to eye-tracking (pursuits and saccades), eye-focusing (accommodation), and eye-teaming (convergence and divergence). The binocular vision evaluation is dramatically different from the primary eye exam which addresses aspects of eye-health (dry eye, glaucoma, etc.).

  • Comprehensive Visual Perceptual Testing is used to understand the extent of visual processing problems. These tests are indicated for children having difficulty in school. Our visual perceptual battery includes a selection of the following tests:

    • Developmental Eye Movement • Wold Visuo-Motor and Wold Sentence Copy • Gardner Reversals Frequency • Piaget Left/Right Concepts • Test of Visual-Perceptual Skills - non-motor (TVPS) • Beery Visual Motor Integration • Visual Aural Digit Span (VADS) • Monroe Visual III • Auditory Visual Integration Test (AVIT) • Rosner Auditory Analysis Test (AAT) • Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test (ADT) • SUNY Suchoff Motor Battery • Word Recognition and Spelling Wide Range Achievement Tests (WRAT), and • Gates McKillop Oral Diagnostic Test.

  • Vision Therapy Program is for people of all ages, each with the desire to improve the way his/her vision system functions. Patients have ranged in ages from young children though older adults. Our vision therapy program is carefully customized for your individualized needs, as assessed by the doctor and therapist. Therapy will be with a trained vision therapist in a one-on-one setting to help you grasp the vision concept and make it part of your new vision abilities.

  • Treatment for Learning-related Vision Problems, including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Reading, and Tracking Problems, etc.

  • Treatment for Binocular Vision Conditions, such as Amblyopia (lazy eye), Convergence Insufficiency (near vision disorder), Diplopia (double vision), Lack of Stereopsis (two-eyed depth perception), and Strabismus (cross-eyed, wandering eye, eye turns, etc.) problems.

  • Visual Rehabilitation for Patients with Special Needs, such as developmental delays, traumatic brain injury, autism, stroke, whiplash, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, etc.

  • Sports Vision Correction and/or Improvement

  • Phototherapy syntonics/colored light therapy.

There's more to healthy vision than 20/20 eyesight!
