As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. You celebrate their milestones, help them through challenges, and notice when something doesn’t seem quite right. But what if the struggle isn’t with learning, attention, or coordination—but with vision?

A concussion can turn life upside down in ways you might not expect. While headaches, dizziness, and memory issues are well-known symptoms, many people do not realize how often concussions affect vision. If you’ve been struggling with blurry vision, difficulty reading, or sensitivity to light after a head injury, you’re not alone. With the right care, you can regain control over your vision and daily life.

Amblyopia, commonly known as “lazy eye,” affects millions of children and adults, impacting their vision and quality of life. Traditionally, treatment focused on patching the stronger eye to force the weaker eye to develop. However, modern advancements in vision science have introduced more effective and comfortable treatment options. Today, innovative therapies offer hope for those seeking to improve their visual function.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are often associated with challenges in focus, impulsivity, and learning. However, what many people don’t realize is that vision problems can contribute to or even mimic the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. A child struggling with undiagnosed visual issues may find it difficult to concentrate, complete schoolwork efficiently, or maintain attention—leading to a misdiagnosis or a missed opportunity for proper treatment.

Vision is one of the most critical senses in a child’s development, playing a fundamental role in how they learn, grow, and interact with the world. From infancy through adolescence, healthy vision is essential for physical, cognitive, and emotional development. At The Center for Vision Development, we are passionate about ensuring children have the tools they need to thrive, starting with comprehensive vision care.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can dramatically alter how we interact with the world, impacting vision, cognition, and overall quality of life. Each brain is unique, and so is the path to recovery. Personalized care that considers your specific needs is critical to regaining function and improving well-being. At The Center for Vision Development, we specialize in optometric vision therapy, a customized approach to help TBI patients reclaim their visual and neurological balance.

As a parent, ensuring your child’s health and development is a top priority. While regular pediatric check-ups are routine, many parents overlook the importance of early vision care for their infants. Your baby’s eyes are vital for learning and interacting with the world, and early detection of potential issues can make a lifelong difference.

Double vision, or diplopia, can be a challenging condition for children, affecting their ability to focus, learn, and enjoy daily activities. For many parents, finding a non-invasive and effective treatment for their child’s vision challenges is a top priority. Optometric vision therapy is a structured, evidence-based program designed to improve visual skills and resolve functional vision issues, like double vision, through personalized exercises.

With the increasing use of digital devices among children for schoolwork, entertainment, and social interaction, we’re seeing a growing number of children experiencing Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This condition, once primarily seen in adults, is now common among younger generations.

Concussions can disrupt more than just a person’s day-to-day activities; they affect the complex network of brain functions that regulate vision. From blurred vision and difficulty focusing to light sensitivity and even balance issues, post-concussion vision problems are common. At The Center for Vision Development, we recognize that recovery from a concussion often involves more than just rest and time; it may require specialized care to help the brain fully heal. One powerful tool in this process is optometric vision therapy.
