Innovative Vision Development Services in Annapolis & Glen Burnie, MD

Since starting vision therapy, I have noticed a significant improvement in my school work. I am now able to copy more down from the board without looking up multiple times. Also, since I am now able to copy down more, my grades have gone up tremendously. I can now take tests and do close-up work without getting constant headaches. Finally, I am now allowed to take the driver’s ed test to get my permit! I would not have been able to do all this without the spectacular help of my therapists and therapists-in-training. I owe my success to Ms. Annie, Ms. Kerry, Ms. Jenna, and Dr. Kungle. Thank you for your love and support

I was referred to vision therapy after sustaining a concussion. The concussion interfered with my ability to read, concentrate, and focus. I experienced light sensitivity and headaches resulting in my avoiding some activities I normally participated in, which included playing bridge, reading, working crossword puzzles, and sudokus. 

Through weeks of weekly visits and daily “homework,” my ability to focus and concentrate improved significantly. I once again was able to read a newspaper and comprehend what I was reading without getting a headache or having issues with my eyes.

The therapists at The Center for Vision Development are all wonderful and very caring individuals. I especially developed a bond with Joanne and thought I benefitted from routinely being with her as she really knew my history and witnessed my development. She was very encouraging, caring, and supportive as I went through the therapy.

Also, Cheryl was wonderful to deal with on a regular basis and helped me significantly when I had an issue with a headache and vision limitation. Dealing with a person and not an answering machine was wonderful. She dealt with my issue as though it was as important to her as me.

Whenever I would look up at the board, it was blurry or doubled. And I play soccer so whenever the ball came at me, I would get confused. I also do band so when I had a solo at the beginning of the year, there was no way I could play it, so I memorized it. Now, I play not needing to memorize notes. At school, they make us read out loud. I would get nervous, stutter, repeat words, and it held up the class because it was so slow. Now, I read faster and more clearly than half of the kids in my class. Sometimes at school, I would open the wrong locker or grab the wrong copybook. I can read the menu at restaurants, and I’m not scared or afraid to read. People would ask why I’m slow at reading, and I would say I don’t know, but now I do, and I’m extremely glad it’s all better!

Eye therapy has impacted my life in a major way. I can’t say much about improvements in personality and attitude besides the fact I’m less irritable due to lack of fatigue and headaches, but I can say my school performance has drastically increased along with my athletic ability. Long tests, book reading, and textbook work are no longer as stressful and painful. As for sports, my ability to focus and refocus has gotten much better, and I make many more shots in basketball. Thank you Mrs. Debbie for your help and positive attitude.

Joey struggled with school and being able to differentiate his letters when his journey began. His problem was discovered when he was four and prescribed glasses. Within a year, we were advised to bring him here for vision therapy.

He enjoyed his therapy sessions with Ms. Asia and Ms. Rebecca. Coming to Annapolis from Charles County twice a week was a struggle, but thanks to everyone at the office, Joey NEVER complained. He looked forward to these visits.

Now, Joey is finding more success at school, he is starting to read, and loves to write! We are so thankful for this experience!
