The Hidden Barrier to School Success
If your child is smart but falling behind in school, look beyond grades. Almost 10% of children have Convergence Insufficiency—and most don’t even know it. Symptoms can include:

• Frequent headaches
• Trouble focusing up close
• Avoiding homework
• Short attention span during reading

Take our free Optometric Vision Therapy Quiz to find out whether you or your loved one may have functional vision issues getting in the way of academic achievement and quality of life. https://www.visiontherapywny.com/evaluations/functional-vision-symptoms-quiz/

📞 Call today and get your child back on track: 716-398-4300. A functional vision evaluation can uncover what a basic eye exam can’t.

🎶It’s the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR……

This beautiful Nativity was assembled over decades of marriage by Pasquale & Betty Fermo. As they were aging, they pondered who would appreciate it and take care of it. They decided Dr. O’Connor was the one. We gratefully display their treasure and pray it brings many people joy and hope as they look on the true reason for this season….Our LORD and Savior, JESUS CHRIST.

BVD Affects Adults Too
Binocular Vision Dysfunction isn’t just a childhood condition. If you’ve had a concussion, head injury, or notice new visual discomfort—you may be experiencing BVD.

Symptoms include:
• Trouble focusing or reading
• Double vision or eye strain
• Dizziness or nausea at screens
• Increased anxiety or headaches

We treat adults too—with vision therapy, prisms, and syntonic phototherapy.
📅 Schedule a functional vision evaluation with Dr. Dick O'Connor and Dr. Alyssa Fortuna today.

Is it Reading Trouble or Vision Trouble? Does your Child Skip Lines, Lose their Place, or Hate Reading?

It could be more than a learning issue—it might be Convergence Insufficiency (CI). CI is a common vision problem that makes it hard for both eyes to work together at near distances. Symptoms include:

• Eye strain
• Headaches
• Blurry or double vision
• Trouble focusing during reading

📞 Call 716-398-4300 to schedule a functional vision evaluation today. There’s hope—and it starts with Vision Development of WNY!

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.

✅ 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:

✅ Sleep
✅ Mood
✅ Visual clarity
✅ Headache & migraine symptoms
✅ Motion sickness

It’s a safe, light-based therapy used under the guidance of a Behavioral Optometrist—and it could be the missing link to restoring balance in your mind and body.
