Congratulations, Michael!
Before vision therapy Michael was struggling with driving and finding glasses that actually helped.

Michael: “I had vision problems for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a kid. I went to lots of vision centers, but nobody could ever figure out what was wrong. No matter what glasses I wore, they never helped. But inSIGHT helped me. Dr. Betka found out what was wrong, I had 8 different issues with my eyes. She prescribed me Shaw lens glasses and vision therapy with Avery. Shaw lenses were the first glasses to ever work and stay working. I could actually see, and I could actually see in 3D. But that was just one piece. Vision therapy was amazing. With Avery’s help, my eyes were retrained and I can even take my glasses off and still see. Avery is the best and kindest therapist I’ve ever had. She helped me so much. I have her and Dr. Betka to thank for the vision I have now. Thank you so much.”

Michael’s Mom: “Avery and Dr. Betka have made a huge impact in Michael’s success story. His success is because of them. Michael spent all of his school years struggling with his vision. As he went through school, his confidence kept getting less. He struggled to read, write, held his phone close to his face, the print on his phone and computer were increased, he sat at the front of the classroom. Math was his worst class. He could hardly do basic math. He wrote uphill and couldn’t line up his numbers. We really knew something was more than normally wrong when he started to drive. By the time he graduated high school he willingly gave up driving. He was never that interested in driving anyway, but it all seemed like something more was wrong. He could hardly read street signs or tell what was on the road. He didn’t spend much time looking out the windows as I drove, saying there was nothing to see. When he turned 18, he went to see Dr. Halgren. After spending years at eye doctor visits and trying out many eyeglasses (that never lasted more than 2 weeks) we finally were told there was something wrong with his eyes.

I had googled and made many phone calls to many other places offering vision therapy. I was impressed with inSIGHT Vision’s reviews and phone conversations with staff. Dr. Betka’s exam was very thorough and informative. Finally, after 18 years, we got confirmation that Michael has eye tracking and focusing issues. She explained our options in detail. Very informative. Michael has spent much of his life (since 2 yrs old) in therapy (OT, SLP, PT) until age 18. We had already tried everything. If left without help, we didn’t think it would leave him with much of a life. At his age, we didn’t think that was good for him. There was nothing to lose. We chose to give Dr. Betka a chance. She recommended Shaw lenses for his glasses. For the first time his glasses have worked for him to see. It has been six months and the glasses are still perfectly working. Therapy has been the icing on the cake for perfect vision. I would recommend Dr. Betka, Avery, Shaw lenses and vision therapy as a complete set for seeing again. His confidence is improved, he is no longer driving in the middle of main street, his writing improved, his phone is further away from his face, the computer/phone print is small. All the problems he had are gone. It’s the best he’s ever seen. Avery is an outstanding therapist. Highly recommend. In six months I have a different kid. I knew he was a smart kid and something just wasn’t right. They finally helped him be the person I always knew was inside him.

Michael was never on the honor list in school. He is attending college and made the Dean’s list this past semester. This is a huge accomplishment for someone who struggled to see. Vision therapy has totally changed his life. He no longer says ‘I can’t,’ in fact, he would like to repeat all his experiences with his family again, just to get to see all the museums he saw as a child, but couldn’t see them as well. Thank you for giving him a life. Because he can see, I know he can do anything he wants if he chooses. This was the best 6 months of therapy he ever had. Thank you to Avery and Dr. Betka.”

Congratulations, Raigen!
Before vision therapy Raigen was struggling with coordination and getting her eyes to work together.

Raigen: “When I started vision therapy it was hard to cross my eyes and see a lot of things. My favorite thing about therapy was seeing my vision therapist. After vision therapy I am so happy and I am going to have so much fun!”

Raigen’s dad: “I will openly and readily admit I was skeptical when we were first referred to Dr. Betka. However, watching my daughter struggle through exercises I didn’t realize she could not do, I realized quickly that she had problems we never realized or saw. Once started, it was an immediate change. Her handwriting improved. Balance and movement improved. She wasn’t ‘clumsy’ any longer. As the months went by I saw her change. She could see.

“I am, and will be, an advocate for vision therapy and the wonders Dr. Betka and the therapists do. Work every day, keep at it, and the kids will flourish.”

Thank you to Dr. Erin Graff at Lind Eyecare for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Zipporah!
Before vision therapy Zipporah was struggling with reading and catching a ball.

Zipporah: “When I started vision therapy it was hard to catch a ball, use my side vision, and see my surroundings. I had a lot of spaces in my handwriting and it was hard to read my book. It was hard to hit the ball and I would skip over sentences when I read. My favorite thing about therapy is that it helped my eyes work together as a team a lot. And I’m really grateful for that. After vision therapy I can catch a ball, see my surroundings, read a book, and hit a ball. I don’t skip over sentences when I read and my spaces in my handwriting have improved a lot.”

Zipporah’s Mom: “Before vision therapy, Zipporah struggled with reading. She would skip words or sentences. She would sometimes forget where she was reading. She also really struggled with catching a ball or hitting a ball. Reading comprehension was very hard for her as well.

After starting vision therapy, Zipporah started to be able to catch a ball and hit a ball. Her depth and side vision started to improve. She is now able to track objects without moving her head around. Zipporah’s reading and reading comprehension has tremendously improved and is no problem for her now.

Ms. Kelsey was wonderful and patient with Zipporah throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable and explains the process well and made sure that she and I knew what to do regarding eye exercises during the week. Dr. Betka is so great at what she does! From the start to the progress checks and to the end, she walked us through the why behind what her eyes were doing and how certain eye exercises will fix it.

From the start to the finish everyone who worked with Zipporah was supportive and made it their goal to see her succeed! We are very thankful for all the staff at inSIGHT!”

Thank you to Dr. Nancy Dob at Mid America Vision Center for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Taylor!
Before vision therapy Taylor was struggling with seeing double when driving and reading.

Taylor: “When I started my right eye was working separately from my left eye. I saw double when driving. I got my numbers mixed around when reading and I had trouble staying on the line. I enjoyed seeing Kelsey, Dr. Betka, and Mary. I enjoyed getting my eyes going again... After vision therapy my right eye isn't watery. It doesn't shut down or get tired as quickly. Reading is improving a lot. I can duplicate numbers and copy words more accurately. I remember phone numbers better. I'm not seeing double when driving. I hope to improve my reading skills with practice.”

Taylor’s Mom: “After years of special ed, IEP’s and trying to teach my daughter to read, we finally found the key to her disability. Her right eye wouldn’t track with the left eye, making it impossible to stay on track while reading words and numbers. Everything was jumbled as she tried so hard over the years to learn. So frustrating!!... Reading is not something she wants to do, but we are all amazed at how much better she can do it. And by not having to focus on the technique, she can actually focus on the content!...Now she can remember what she reads and comprehend the information.

I was truly amazed at how Dr. Betka tested her and found the issues she had. What a detailed process! Kelsey was fantastic at making her do the work and encouraging her at every appointment. The exercises were very stimulating and kept her interest week after week...

We can’t thank you enough for the life-changing opportunity we experienced at your office! I've suggested to others many times, if there is a difficulty with reading, that they check into vision therapy. It is hard to pinpoint what the problem is with many kids. It takes a specialist to figure out the puzzle.

Thank you to Dr. Kelly McLain at Lakeside Family Vision for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Connor!
Before vision therapy Connor was struggling with seeing clearly and reading.

Connor: “When I started vision therapy it was hard to read, focus, and do my homework. My favorite thing about therapy is that my school work got easier. Erin was nice and easy to work with. After vision therapy it got easier to read, focus in school, and do my homework.”

Connor’s Mom: “When Connor first began vision therapy, he was seeing double and dealing with frequent blurry vision. All school work and reading had become a challenge. He would understand the instructions, but only had a moment of clear vision after blinking. This made focusing and keeping up and on tasks very difficult. By the time he focused so hard to read a word, he would forget what he already read. He had to put so much work into reading the actual word he could not remember anything he read and his reading comprehension suffered. After speaking up and asking if this was ‘normal’ we took him in for an eye appointment. One thing led to another and we were referred to inSIGHT Vision. Week by week, Connor progressed with consistent work at therapy and at home. He was determined to improve his vision and graduate from therapy. Now Connor is no longer in reading intervention at school. And is above where they want him. Reading and school work has become easier. We are incredibly proud of the hard work he put in and are so grateful for the team at inSIGHT Vision who helped him get here. Thank you to Dr. Betka for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis, thank you to Erin for your weekly guidance and help. Connor enjoyed having you as his therapist. You made him very comfortable to speak up and get the help he needed. And thank you to Mary for always being so pleasant and kind as we stepped inside. Connor now has the tools he needs to continue to thrive and be successful.”

Thank you to Dr. Sean Stille at EyeCare Specialties for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, DeEtte!
Before vision therapy DeEtte was struggling with double vision from cataract surgery.

DeEtte: "The old adage ‘you can't teach an old dog new tricks’ was just proved false. I had cataract surgery on both eyes and came out with total double vision. From my first appointment, Dr. Betka and Erin Devine believed they could help me with my double vision. And they did! Erin worked her magic with me for 7 months. I was totally fascinated by the entire process. I truly recommend anyone with a vision problem to check out inSIGHT Vision Performance Center. I want to thank both Dr. Betka and Erin for their time with me, teaching me, and believing in me! The whole process was the BEST!"

Thank you to Dr. Taylor Steger at EyeCare Specialties for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Delaney!
Before vision therapy Delaney was struggling with headaches and eye fatigue.

Delaney: "Before vision therapy, reading was really hard and frustrating. I often lost my place and got distracted. For years I just stopped reading for fun altogether. Headaches and eye tiredness were also common. After starting therapy, that all began to change. I slowly started to love reading again. It was so much easier and even quicker. After finishing therapy, I'm so much more confident in reading and just overall. I owe a lot of my success to Kelsey. She was the sweetest and most patient person. She came up with ways to make things ‘click’ for me. I looked forward to every appointment with her."

Thank you to Dr. Nicole Morrissey at Downtown Family Vision for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Blakely!
Before vision therapy Blakely was struggling with severe headaches.

Blakely: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to miss school and get caught back up! It was also hard to show cows because it is always late and just being busy! My favorite thing about therapy is knowing there is only a certain amount of time left. After vision therapy I feel happy because I don't have to wake up so early."

Blakely’s mom: "Blakely had severe headaches in school–multiple times a day. She would come home crying and frustrated. We tried blue light glasses, had her vision checked, and did chiropractic care, but nothing helped. When we started vision therapy the headaches stopped immediately. This was our second child who has now completed the program. It is a major commitment, but we are so glad we did it!"

Thank you to Dr. Nicole Morrissey at Downtown Family Vision for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Ava!
Before vision therapy Ava was struggling with frustration and fatigue with schoolwork.

Ava: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to concentrate and do my schoolwork. I had a lot of late assignments because I would get so frustrated while doing my schoolwork. It was hard. At home I would have headaches and be tired. My favorite thing about therapy was when things started to get easier for me. I was motivated by the prize box. I liked it when I would have games for an activity and could play with my family. After vision therapy I like to read more. My favorite is the ‘I survived’ books. I have passing grades. I don't skip lines when writing and reading like I used to. I don't get headaches anymore and I'm not so tired. I can concentrate, I write better, and things make more sense."

Ava’s parents: “In 2022, we began noticing signs that our daughter, Ava, might be struggling with learning delays. She was bright and eager, but schoolwork came with anxiety and frustration. We started play therapy to help with her school anxiety, which led us to Children's Rehab for further evaluation.

“During those evaluations, we discovered challenges with reflex integration and visual-motor skills. Through occupational therapy, we began to see real progress–not just in the clinic, but at school, too. However, about a year in, her therapist noticed something new: Ava's eyes were having difficulty converging. Over several sessions, the issue worsened.

“As parents, we didn't understand what we were seeing until one day her therapist guided us through an exercise. As objects were moved nearer and farther, Ava's eyes began to shake and flutter–she simply couldn't focus. It was alarming. That experience led us to an eye doctor familiar with pediatric exams and vision therapy concepts. We learned Ava was farsighted and needed bifocal glasses. Her new ‘fancy lenses,’ as she called them, became part of her daily life.

“Fast forward to 2024: a new town, a new school, no home base yet, and lots of emotions. Her one-year eye check came back all clear, and we thought we were in good shape. But as the school year went on, the struggles returned–this time without the eye convergence issues, but with mounting frustration at school. Despite all the effort, it felt like we had taken several steps backward, and as parents, we were heartbroken and unsure of what to do next.

“We reached out to her previous occupational therapist, who recommended a sister clinic in Lincoln. We resumed OT, which helped, but something was still missing. Then, through a conversation with a close friend, we were introduced to Dr. Betka at Insight Vision. His son had experienced remarkable success through vision therapy, so we decided to reach out.

“From our very first appointment, I felt seen and heard. Dr. Betka understood our journey–the frustration, the confusion, and the hope. Soon after, Ava began her 10-month vision therapy journey, and it has truly been life-changing.

“Not only did Insight Vision address her visual processing and tracking challenges, but they also worked closely with us to ensure Ava was supported in the classroom. Over time, we watched her confidence rebuild. The frustrated, discouraged, distracted student we once knew transformed into a focused, motivated learner.
“Today, Ava completes her work at school, tackles homework without tears, and–best of all–has found a new love for reading.

“This journey was long and at times overwhelming, but it has been nothing short of transformative. We are endlessly grateful for the care, expertise, and encouragement from the entire team at Insight Vision.”

Congratulations, John!
Before vision therapy John was struggling with headaches and fatigue with reading.

John: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to focus on homework and just never ending headaches. My favorite thing about therapy was the fact that my therapist was very nice. They're all nice! After vision therapy everything felt so easy."

John’s Parents: “For years we knew something wasn't right with John's eyes. His optometrist kept a close eye on things and one year ago decided it was time for us to seek out vision therapy for him. John was getting headaches, struggling to read for more than a few minutes at a time, and getting frustrated doing homework. Now a year later, after 9 months of vision therapy with inSIGHT, John is reading more and getting homework done quicker!

“We believe his eyes being able to work together better has also led to him processing information quicker and more accurately leading to a calmer and more confident John!"

Thank you to Dr. Bridget Meduna at Lincoln Vision Center for recommending vision therapy!
