REVIEWS

Lyme Disease Treatment with Vision Therapy

Thank you Dr. McCrodan and team!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support, encouragement and fun training exercises! Sarah M. was an exceptional trainer and patiently answered all of my questions 😉

It was enlightening to learn how to improve my vision so that my eyes and brain function together now. I’m absolutely amazed (and so grateful) that my headaches have disappeared entirely! I’ve had headaches for 8 years so this is a lifesaver for me!

Thank you also for engaging in a fabulous interview with me on the CanLyme podcast Looking at Lyme episode 25 https://www.lookingatlyme.ca/2021/03/25-optometry-eye-brain-connections-and-lyme-disease/

I especially enjoyed hearing your perspective as an engineer who understands how systems work together. Our listeners loved learning from you and expressed how much they learned from you. Thank you so much for your leadership, expertise and generosity!

Never Heard of Vision Therapy
or Neuro Optometry?

Specialized Eye Care For You

Vision Therapy Treatment

Vision Therapy helps patients improve their foundation for reading, learning and playing sports. It’s a series of custom and individualized activities and exercises which function as a form of neuro-optometric rehabilitation.

The goal is to enhance eye tracking, focusing and eye teaming abilities as well as eye-hand coordination and visual processing speed.

The program is not only for children. Vision Therapy is effective for adults, especially if they are motivated to improve their visual abilities.

Sports Vision Training

Sports Vision Training isn’t about correcting your vision. You wear glasses or contacts for that. Vision Therapy is about training (or retraining) the brain to achieve maximum efficiency in the way it processes and responds to visual inputs.

Sports Vision is about training people with excellent vision to process and respond to what they see faster and better. Using a personalized and customized series of techniques and exercises, the brain learns to respond more accurately and efficiently. It’s just like muscle memory. Once you know and refine exactly how to react, you can do it again and again, and get better every time.

Neuro-Optometry

Traumatic brain injury such as a concussion or stroke, or diseases such as MS, cerebral palsy, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), can result in potentially devastating visual problems.

There are also a number of inherited brain conditions that can similarly prevent the normal development of the visual system.

Fortunately, we've helped numerous patients rehabilitate and recover from their visual problems, ultimately reducing or eliminating headaches, dizziness, poor balance, and other symptoms.
