We're so happy to hear that Tina is feeling more hopeful! Dr. Ryan has a special interest in injury-related binocular vision challenges, and he truly cares about helping patients find relief from vision symptoms after concussions or other neurological events.
If you’ve been dealing with lingering vision symptoms, you don’t have to push through them alone. 💛

Has it been a minute since your last eye exam? Even without noticeable vision changes, it's important to have your eyes checked regularly to prevent or treat sight-threatening disease.

Dr. Joy and our team spent some time this week screening pre-school children at Peace Academy Fargo for eye movement problems that normal pediatrician and school vision screenings miss! Thanks for the opportunity to serve your children. If your school wants us to visit for a FREE screening for children ages 5-7, send us a message!

When one child has vision challenges, parents often become experts at spotting the signs. Early awareness led to early support and now, real progress. Great work, Annika! We're proud of you!

Ryan Capouch was in middle school, and woke up one September morning without any vision in his right eye. His local optometrist, Dr. Michael Rexine, met him after hours and diagnosed him with optic neuritis. Over the next two days, Ryan lost vision in his left eye as well, and was rendered legally blind. He spent a week in Fargo’s MeritCare (now Sanford) hospital, under the care of ophthalmologists Dr. Tom Strinden and Dr. Steve Thom, and pediatrician Dr. Patrick Welle. Through their expertise, Ryan made a full recovery and now enjoys healthy vision. It was because of the care and attention of Dr. Rexine, Dr. Strinden, Dr. Thom, and Dr. Welle, that Ryan found his calling to be a pediatric optometrist.
Dr. Ryan’s Education
After finishing high school, Ryan attended the University of Mary in Bismarck and spent his summers working for Dr. Rexine in Mayville as an optometric technician. He then went to the Arizona College of Optometry in Glendale, where he received additional training in pediatric optometry and vision therapy. His externships included working at three pediatric optometry and vision therapy clinics in Chicago, IL, Nashville, TN, and Fort Collins, CO. Under the tutelage of Dr. Robb Johnson at Brighter Future Vision Clinic, Ryan learned an incredibly unique approach to vision therapy that is efficient and effective. Upon graduation from optometry school, Dr. Ryan and his wife Maggie moved to Fargo.
The Inception of Lumen Vision
Dr. Ryan spent two years working with Dr. Rexine and his amazing team at Eyes on Broadway. He served hundreds of patients in his vision therapy program. With gratitude to all of the doctors, mentors, patients, and friends who helped along the way, Lumen Vision was born. “Lumen” is Latin for “light”, and is a measure of brightness. Our mission is to help children and their families build a brighter future through comprehensive eye care and optometric vision therapy. We can’t wait for you to join our story!
