We’re excited to introduce the Optometric Multi-Sensory Training (OMST) system, one of the newest and most advanced tools in our office.

OMST combines visual, auditory, vestibular, and somatosensory stimulation to help the brain process information more efficiently, improving coordination, attention, and visual function.

Developed by Dr. Steven Curtis of EyeLux Integrations, OMST supports post-concussion rehabilitation, children with sensory processing delays, athletic performance, and overall neurological wellness. By engaging multiple senses at once, it helps patients of all ages function with greater comfort and confidence in daily life.
We’re proud to offer OMST as part of our commitment to advanced, research-driven vision care.

Reading time used to end in tears for Stetson and his family. He mixed up letters, struggled with handwriting, and felt frustrated every night they tried to read together. After learning he was seeing double and had eye-tracking difficulties, his family finally found answers at Idaho Vision Development Center.

With Dr. Nielson’s help and fun, game-based therapy sessions, Stetson started seeing real changes—no more double vision, better coordination, and smoother reading. His confidence has soared, and his parents are thrilled to see him enjoying learning again.
“I would not hesitate to recommend vision therapy,” his mom shared. “It’s changed his life.”

Stetson’s story is a powerful reminder that with the right care and vision therapy, kids can rediscover the joy of learning and life.

Amblyopia, often called lazy eye, is more than just poor vision in one eye. It happens when the brain and eyes aren’t communicating properly, which can cause reduced vision, depth perception challenges, coordination issues, and even learning difficulties.

Amblyopia can develop in one or both eyes and may result from eye misalignment, unequal prescriptions, or lack of visual stimulation in early childhood. Signs to watch for include an eye that turns in or out, squinting, head tilting, or a noticeable difference in vision between the eyes.

The good news is that amblyopia can be treated at any age with advanced vision therapy techniques, specialized lenses, and exercises that strengthen the brain-eye connection. Many patients see significant improvements in vision, coordination, and daily comfort.

If you or your child may have amblyopia, schedule a binocular vision evaluation at Idaho Vision Development Center today. We’re here to help every patient see clearly and thrive.

This Thanksgiving season, we’re feeling extra grateful for our amazing patients, their families, and the inspiring progress we get to witness every single day.

Watching a child discover the joy of reading without frustration or seeing an adult finally find relief after a concussion reminds us why we do what we do. Vision therapy changes lives by helping the brain and eyes work together more efficiently, and that’s something truly worth celebrating.

From all of us at Idaho Vision Development Center, thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey toward clearer, more comfortable vision. Wishing you a holiday filled with gratitude, connection, and bright, happy eyes.

Did you know that more than half of your brain’s activity is connected to vision? After a concussion or brain injury, symptoms like headaches when reading, light sensitivity, or double vision may appear. These are signs your visual system might need extra care.

The good news is that your brain can heal through neuroplasticity. Vision therapy, tinted lenses, and specialized glasses can support recovery and help restore clear, comfortable vision.

Does homework end in tears after endless hours at the kitchen table? Your child is not alone and the problem might not be motivation or attention. Many kids who appear distracted or “lazy” during homework are actually battling hidden vision problems that make it hard to concentrate.

When the eyes do not work together properly, it can lead to headaches, blurry words, and mental fatigue. It is no wonder your child loses focus after just a few minutes. These struggles often get mislabeled as ADHD or learning difficulties when the root cause is visual, not behavioral.
Watch for these signs at home:
• Homework takes far longer than it should
• Frequent headaches or eye rubbing during reading
• Difficulty sitting still or paying attention
• Reversing letters or skipping small words

If this sounds familiar, your child may have a functional vision problem even if their eye exam showed 20/20 eyesight.

A developmental vision evaluation can uncover what standard eye tests miss. Take our free Vision Quiz to learn more.

One of the biggest questions we hear is, “When will I start to notice a difference?”

At Idaho Vision Development Center, every therapy plan is designed around the individual. Each person comes in with unique goals and challenges, so the timeline for results will never be exactly the same.

The good news is that many patients begin noticing improvements after only a few sessions. Better concentration, smoother reading, less strain, and even fewer headaches are just a few of the changes that can happen early on. With steady effort, those results continue to grow stronger.

If you are wondering whether vision therapy could help you or your child, now is the perfect time to schedule an evaluation and begin the journey toward clearer, more comfortable vision.

After two concussions, daily life became overwhelming, reading was difficult, coordination was off, and driving felt impossible. For a Paramedic Firefighter, Aleisha, this was more than frustrating, it was life-altering.

That’s when Vision Therapy at Idaho Vision Development Center became the turning point.

With the help of specialized lenses and customized therapy sessions, the constant visual overload started to calm. Headaches faded. Reading comprehension returned. Driving no longer triggered fatigue or strain. Week by week, things got better.

“I didn’t think my eyes could be better than they were before the accidents, but they are.”- Aleisha

Vision Therapy isn’t just for kids. It’s for adults, professionals, and first responders whose lives are changed by brain injuries and visual dysfunction.

Playing sports isn’t just about strength and stamina, it’s about how quickly and effectively your brain can work with your body. Great athletes rely on sharp visual skills to track fast-moving objects, judge distances, and stay alert to everything happening around them.

Clear vision alone isn’t enough. Key visual abilities that impact athletic performance include:

-Rapid eye movements and tracking
-Depth perception for timing and distance
-Peripheral vision to monitor the field
-Coordinated eye and body movements
-Quick reaction to visual cues
-Maintaining focus even in fast-paced situations

If you’re missing plays, struggling to keep up, or feeling visual fatigue during games, vision may be the hidden factor.

That’s where sports vision training comes in. Using specialized exercises and equipment, vision therapy helps athletes improve coordination, reaction speed, and overall visual processing giving you the edge you need to perform at your best.
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, enhancing your visual skills can elevate your game to new heights.

Ready to sharpen your vision for sports? Contact Idaho Vision Development Center today for a sports vision evaluation and tailored training.
