Before Vision Therapy:
Before I started vision therapy I had a “silly” eye. When I would try to focus, my silly eye was all over the place. I would lay my head down on my desk at school because my eyes were tired. When I would read, I would cover my right eye (silly eye).
After Vision Therapy:
Now when I am at school my eyes are not tired. I can now read a book without covering my eyes. It is now easier to stay focused at school.

Before Vision Therapy:
Maxine was quick to say that she can’t before even trying. When reading she would skip words and often lines (often skipping small words). She called her right eye her “silly eye” and would cover it when reading. Her teacher last year said that Maxine seemed tired at school, (rubbing eyes/ laying head down on desk).
After Vision Therapy:
Maxine told us that she no longer has a silly eye. She has become more confident in her ability to read. Reading is still a challenge but she is working hard at school and home. She no long has a meltdown (crying) when reading at home.
