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!

Congratulations, Lexi!
Before vision therapy Lexi was struggling with reading and car sickness.

Lexi: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to read. My favorite thing about therapy was seeing my therapist Cherise! After vision therapy it's easy to read and I don't get carsick."

Lexi’s Mom: "Before vision therapy, Lexi only enjoyed reading board books with large print. She got carsick almost every time she was in a vehicle. She was always reluctant to try new things. Since she completed vision therapy, she has absolutely blossomed! She read multiple chapter books over the summer! She has not complained of car sickness or headaches! She has also tried out for and made the quiz bowl team at school, got elected to Lead (the school leadership team), and was the captain of her volleyball team for their first two games! I am so proud of all the progress she has shown academically and the confidence she has grown into! Thank you for everything you have done for Lexi!”

Thank you to Dr. Betsy Turk at Lind Eye Care for recommending vision therapy!

Congratulations, Kendyll!
Before vision therapy Kendyll was struggling with depth perception and her eye turning in.

Kendyll: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to hit the softball. I had trouble reading. My favorite thing about therapy was doing virtual reality. It was fun to get prizes for doing all my therapy at home. I had fun with my therapist Erin. She is the best. After vision therapy I hit the softball much better. It is easier for me to read. I can use both of my eyes together now."

Kendyll’s parents: "From the young age of around 1, we knew our twins Kaden and Kendyll both had eye turns. They have both worn glasses ever since. Their eye doctor always told us he thought vision therapy could help them. This led us to Dr. Betka and her amazing team…Our daughter Kendyll lacked depth perception and really struggled to use both of her eyes together. Without her glasses her eyes turned in almost instantly causing her to see double. She was compensating by turning that eye off. We didn't realize she could do that and was doing that. After working with Kelsey and Erin, their amazing therapists, we have seen significant improvements…Kendyll now has some depth perception, which is amazing!! She now knows how to control her eyes so she can use both of them together instead of just shutting one off. It is amazing to see her growth in all activities due to her ability to use both eyes. After therapy, her eye turn has decreased significantly. We are truly grateful for Dr. Betka, Erin, and Kelsey for all they have done to help improve Kaden and Kendyll's vision. We are thankful for all of you. Thank you all!!!"

Congratulations, Kaden!
Before vision therapy Kaden was struggling with seeing double and reading.

Kaden: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to read. I couldn't keep my place and sometimes it was double. It was hard to see and catch a football. I had lots of times during the day at school that my eyes would see double. My favorite thing about therapy was doing virtual reality. After vision therapy I can read without seeing double. I am much better at catching a football. School is much easier. I can even see better if I take my glasses off."

Kaden’s parents: "From the young age of around 1, we knew our twins Kaden and Kendyll both had eye turns. They have both worn glasses ever since. Their eye doctor always told us he thought vision therapy could help them. This led us to Dr. Betka and her amazing team. Our son Kaden struggled to read and could not track with his eyes. He also saw double when his eye turned in. We didn't realize how hard he was having to work just to read, catch a football, or do any activity needing his eyes to focus…After working with Kelsey and Erin, their amazing therapists, we have seen significant improvements. Kaden now reads faster than he ever has and schoolwork comes much easier. His hand-eye coordination in sports has improved greatly. He tells us now ‘guess what, I don't see double anymore.’…We are truly grateful for Dr. Betka, Erin, and Kelsey for all they have done to help improve Kaden and Kendyll's vision. We are thankful for all of you. Thank you all!!!"

Congratulations, Joviella!
Before vision therapy, Joviella was struggling with reading comprehension and skipping lines and words.

Joviella: "When I started vision therapy it was hard to remember what I had just read. And I used to skip lines and words. My favorite thing about therapy was talking to Cherise! :) After vision therapy I am now better at cold reading, which is important to me since I'm an actress."

Joviella’s Mom: "We are so happy to have found inSIGHT! I didn't even know vision therapy existed until we were referred to the amazing Dr. Betka by our family optometrist. My daughter had slowly been forming a hatred towards reading that I didn't understand. Once we saw Dr. Betka and she diagnosed and explained my daughter's vision dysfunction, suddenly everything became clear! She paired us with the lovely Cherise whom my daughter formed a trusting relationship with. My daughter genuinely looked forward to their visits and worked diligently on her home therapy in between. Now, as a therapy graduate, my daughter no longer dreads reading aloud because she can now read with nearly the same speed, accuracy, and comprehension as her peers. While she may never love reading, she has learned life-changing skills to help her better navigate living with the vision dysfunction, and we are so grateful to Dr. Betka and her team for making that possible. :)"
