Misdiagnosed and Still Struggling? It Could Be BVD.

If you've been told your child has:
❌ ADHD
❌ Dyslexia
❌ Anxiety
…but treatments haven’t helped—consider Binocular Vision Dysfunction.
BVD symptoms are often mistaken for learning or behavioral issues. But the root cause may lie in how the eyes and brain work (or don’t work) together.

📅 Schedule a functional vision evaluation with Dr. Dick O'Connor and Dr. Alyssa Fortuna today - call 716-398-4300. Get:

✅ Accurate diagnosis
✅ Personalized treatment

WHAT A FANTASTIC & COMPREHENSIVE GEM OF A LIBRARY! Particularly impressive is that they are a much-needed Homeschool Resource Center!

It was our pleasure to team up with Misses Holly and Joanne to do a Free Vision Screening recently to evaluate kiddos for vision problems that negatively affect their ability to read, learn, comprehend and pay attention which often results in frustration, behaviors, school struggles and low self-esteem. We trust the kiddos have brighter futures now that parents know what's going on with them 🥳

Stop in to check out the library and say HI!🏆

Trouble Sleeping, Focusing, or Feeling Calm?
Light has the power to heal more than vision. Syntonic Phototherapy has been shown to improve:

✅ Visual clarity
✅ Headache & migraine symptoms

WHAT VISION SCREENINGS MISS...

Your child may have 20/20 eyesight and still struggle with:

❌ Reading fluency
❌ Comprehension
❌ Attention span
❌ Confidence in school

Why? Because good eyesight isn’t the same as good vision.
School screenings only check distance clarity, not the visual skills required to read and learn.

At Vision Development of WNY, we test for—and treat—hidden visual dysfunctions that may be holding your child back.

Let’s uncover the root cause.

One Diagnosis That Can Change Everything
You or your child may have 20/20 eyesight and still struggle with reading, attention, balance, or depth perception.

Why? Because good eyesight isn't the same as good vision. The problem may be Binocular Vision Dysfunction—when the eyes don’t align and communicate properly with the brain.
