Dyslexia vs. Vision Issues with Dr. Ash 👁✨

Your child is struggling to read… but why?

If the eyes can’t stay on the line,
the brain can’t decode the word.

👀 Skipping lines
📖 Losing place
🔄 Letter reversals

These can sometimes be visual—not just learning-based.

The good news? Visual skills like tracking and teaming can improve with the right support.

Through a comprehensive vision exam, we can help you get answers.

Question Time! 🙋‍♀️ Which letters were challenging for Dr. Ash?

The 20-20-20 rule with Dr. Emily!
Every 20 minutes → look 20 feet away → for 20 seconds.

It relaxes your focusing muscles and helps prevent headaches and eye strain 🙌

Comment “👀” when you’ve taken your break!

Better together! 👁️👁️✨
We had an incredible day of growth and learning at the OVDRA Washington Chapter Winter Seminar this Saturday. Dr. Katie Hash and Vision Therapist Jared Torgerson presented a motivating concept on combining VT with subjects our patients are interested in.
We also learned from Vision Therapist Maddie, Dr. Kristi Kading, Dr. , and local ophthalmologist Dr. Thomas Lenart. Thank you for hosting, !
With 14 doctors and therapists from Alderwood Vision Therapy and Development in attendance, we are leveling up our skills to bring even more expertise to our patients!
It was a powerhouse day for developmental optometry and vision therapy in Washington! 🧠💪

We are SO proud of Sabrina and her incredible Vision Therapy journey! 🐈 🦎 👀💚✨
When Sabrina first came to us, she was struggling with reading and had difficulty controlling her eye movements. It made school and everyday tasks unnecessarily hard.
The amazing transformation:
-Reading is now significantly easier!
-She’s noticing her peripheral vision more than ever!
-Her favorite memory? Spending time with her therapist and playing fun, engaging therapy games!
Sabrina wants everyone to know: Vision Therapy is fun, it’s worth the investment, and the gradual improvements will make you so happy.
It’s more than just eye exercises—it’s about developing the visual skills needed for life!
