Visual health is about more than just 20/20 vision—it’s about how a child processes the world around them. 🌍

As Dr. G.N. Getman famously said: “If a child sees distorted, he produces distorted and therefore learns distorted.”

When the "input" is skewed, the "output" (reading, writing, and sports) follows suit. If you suspect your child is struggling with how they see the world, let’s find a solution together.

Ever wonder why vision therapy uses those red and green glasses? 🔴🟢 It’s all about teaching the eyes to work as a team!

Think of it in two steps:
1️⃣ Bi-ocular (The Individual Drills): Both eyes are open, but they see different things. This "wakes up" the brain and stops it from "shutting off" (suppressing) one eye. It’s like making sure every player is actually on the field! 🏃‍♂️
2️⃣ Binocular (The Teamwork): Both eyes look at the same thing and the brain fuses them into one 3D image. This is how we get depth perception and steady vision for reading. This is the team finally passing the ball to score! ⚽️🥅

By working on bi-ocular AND binocular work, we ensure the brain isn't just using both eyes, but using them together.

Visual health is about more than just 20/20 vision—it’s about how a child processes the world around them. 🌍

As Dr. John Streff famously said: “When vision is working well, it guides and leads all that we do; when not, it interferes.”

Today we're reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his timeless wisdom. 🕯️

We believe that building character starts with building confidence. Many of the children we work with have felt "stuck" in the classroom. Optometric vision therapy changes the narrative, helping them realize that success is within reach and they are capable of greatness.

We are inspired by Dr. King’s vision of potential and are honored to help our patients unlock their own. ✨📚

Ever wonder why Vision Therapy involves "left and right" techniques? 🧠↔️

It’s all about Laterality. Before a child can tell the difference between a "b" and a "d" on a page, they need a rock-solid internal map of their own body. If you don't know where your own "left" is, how can you tell which way a letter is facing?

Optometric vision therapy works on laterality to:
✅ Stop letter reversals (b/d, p/q)
✅ Smooth out eye-tracking across the "midline"
✅ Free up brain power for comprehension instead of just decoding.

It’s not just about the eyes—it’s about how the brain maps the world! 🌎✨

Is 20/20 vision enough for your child? 👁️✨

Clear vision (20/20) is just the foundation. To succeed in school, children also need strong Visual Efficiency and Processing.

At PVDC, our licensed optometrists specialize in the entire vision pyramid:

1️⃣ The Foundation: First and foremost, our doctors are Licensed Optometrists. They ensure your child’s eyes are healthy and prescribed the right "hardware" when needed (glasses or contacts).

2️⃣ The Custom Build: On top of that expertise, they specialize in the higher levels of the pyramid. They don't use "one size fits all" plans.

3️⃣ The Result: Every Vision Therapy program is individually prescribed by our doctors to bridge the gap between seeing and understanding.

If your child has 20/20 vision but still struggles with reading, headaches, or losing their place, the "foundation" might be fine, but the rest of the pyramid needs support.

As you settle back into your school and work routines, make sure your child’s vision is ready for a successful 2026.

We’re bringing this back to your feed to highlight why early exams matter:

• Our Approach: Fun, easy, and tailored for toddlers/non-verbal children.
• The 80% Rule: Most classroom learning is visual—don’t let a hidden vision issue hold them back.
• InfantSEE®: Babies 6–12 months get a no-cost assessment at our clinic.

Annual exams are the best way to protect their sight from infancy through graduation. 🎓
