Texas Vision Therapy

A week from today Dr Chelette will be giving an introductory webinar about the relationship between attention and vision. Here's the official course description.

For many people with ADHD, staying "focused" can feel like trying to watch a movie that keeps going out of sync, it's effortful, inconsistent, and exhausting. But sometimes, what looks like a "focus problem" isn’t just about not being able to concentrate, it’s about how the eyes and brain are not working together. This talk explores how hidden visual issues like eye teaming, tracking, and focusing difficulties can quietly drain attention and energy throughout the day, in ways that might otherwise have been brushed off as "ADHD-problems". Join us for an eye-opening discussion about how visual overload can mimic or worsen ADHD symptoms, and how small visual inefficiencies can make reading, schoolwork, or screen time feel harder than they should. We’ll share simple clues to look for at home or in the classroom and explain how vision therapy can help the brain work more efficiently, reducing effort, improving focus, and making daily life a little less tiring for both kids and adults.

It's free to anyone to listen to on behalf of the Attention Deficit Disorders Association and the Lighthouse Learning & Resource Company, but you've got to register first!

Houston parents of children with dyslexia - do you know what kind of dyslexia your child has?

Many times your child’s reading dysfunction is not a problem of phonics but instead of difficulty knowing where to look and how to sequence all of the things that they see.

Share this video around because your child’s school certainly won’t make the distinction between a functional vision problem and a phonics problem!

“It’s alive!”

…but sometimes our two eyes don’t work together the way they should. Doubled vision, a drifting eye, or trouble keeping both eyes looking at the same place can feel frustrating.

This post is to tell you that surgery isn’t the only option if these are problems you're experiencing.

Yesterday, during a session a 17-year-old patient told his mom, “We should’ve come to vision therapy instead of getting surgery first.”

Vision therapy helps retrain the brain and eyes to work together, improving comfort, coordination, and confidence.

So if your vision sometimes feels like it has a mind of its own, it might be time to see if your visual system can be brought back to life, with no bolts required!

Now that the first report cards of the school year are out, many parents are starting to notice where their child is thriving - and where things are a little harder.

If reading continues to be a struggle, it’s easy to assume it’s about attention, motivation, or effort. But sometimes, the real issue lies in how the eyes and brain work together.

Some kids can’t keep their eyes tracking smoothly across the page. Others lose their place, skip words, or tire out after a few lines. And for many, it’s not about eyesight at all. Instead, it’s about visual attention: how long their brain can stay locked in on what they’re seeing before it starts to fade or drift.

A functional vision evaluation looks at exactly that. Teachers do an incredible job providing information, but it’s the child’s visual system that has to make sense of it. If those skills aren’t working efficiently, learning feels harder than it should.

If you’ve noticed your child’s grades or reading confidence slipping already this year, it may be time to look beyond the report card and see how their visual system is really functioning.

Call our office or send a message today to schedule a Functional Vision Evaluation and find out what your child’s eyes might be saying that their grades can’t.

If you've got 20 minutes to spare and want to learn something new about how children see, take a look at this! If you play it at 1.25x or 1.5x, it's less than 20 minutes 🤣

Most people think 20/20 eyesight means a child’s vision is “perfect.” But vision is much more than seeing clearly at a distance. Many children struggle with ...

Your child sees 20/20… but still struggles with reading? If their eye exam says “everything’s fine,” but you know something’s off — don’t ignore it.

Here are 3 subtle signs of a hidden vision problem:
- Skipping lines or losing their place while reading
- Complaining of headaches, tired eyes, or watery eyes after homework
- Avoiding reading or getting frustrated — even though they’re smart

These aren’t just reading issues.
They’re often signs of problems with eye teaming, tracking, or visual processing — things a regular eye chart can’t detect.

20/20 isn’t the whole story.
We see with our brains — not just our eyes.

DM us “VISION” and we’ll send you a free checklist of signs to look for.

What has Dr Chelette been up to lately? Publishing a podcast...!!

Here's the episode that dropped today and it's probably the most important one of the series that is being made. Why most "eye exams" miss "vision problems", and why 20/20 eyesight is not the end of the story (rarely is it even the beginning of the story!).

They said the eye exam was fine but your child still hates reading.

Still forgets what they just saw. Still stumbles over words you know they recognize.

So if everything’s “fine", why does it still feel so hard?

Most people think vision is just about clarity.

But behavioral optometrists ask a different question... How well are the eyes and brain working together?

That’s where vision therapy comes in.

It’s a structured treatment program that improves how the brain and eyes function together, not just how clearly someone sees, but how efficiently they process, track, focus, and remember what they see.

20/20 doesn’t measure that but it’s exactly what affects reading, learning, attention, and comfort.

Who is vision therapy for?
🔹 Kids who struggle with reading or focus even with tutoring
🔹 Children with crossed eyes, lazy eye, or convergence issues
🔹 Adults recovering from brain injuries or concussions
🔹 Athletes wanting to sharpen performance
🔹 Anyone with eye strain, double vision, or headaches from screens

Through neuroplasticity and guided training, we help retrain the visual system to work better, one session at a time.

If the test says everything’s normal but your gut says something’s off, trust it.
Vision therapy may be the missing piece.
