I am writing this letter to tell you thank you for changing my son’s life. I cannot express my thankfulness in words but only by saying that this experience has been priceless. I now have a son that doesn’t get headaches every day. He now has energy and is not complaining of being tired. He has a spark in his eye that I have not seen before and is so much more outgoing. He is now able to learn for all those years teachers didn’t know what to do. We had been through auditory processing, prism eye therapy—only to be told he may have ADD and I should check into it.

Refusing to believe that diagnosis—I found you.I searched and by the grace of God—vision therapy and your name appeared on my computer. You have been a God send to Harrison—he is a different child. He is now able to read and comprehend. He made a 100 on a reading comprehension paper at the end of school. Before vision therapy, there is no way that would have been possible. He has come a long way and now we can hardly wait to see what the future holds for this bright eyed, happy, smart, capable child who struggled for so long. The world and school is a happier place for him because of you. Thank you for everything!

“He has gained so much confidence at school, in life, in sports. He has really gotten a lot more comfortable and willing to try new things, where as before we found a lot of frustration and giving up easily knowing that things were not really working how he had hoped.”

I came to VTSA skeptical as to if there was any ‘eye’ therapy that could relieve the vertigo/dizziness episodes I experienced. I certainly was hopeful but skeptical. Fast forward several months and I truly feel this has changed my life. I feel I am now more at ease about the symptoms which have reduced dramatically. My therapist was kind, patient, and encouraging. She helped reduce the anxiety that often accompanied my episodes and pushed me to stretch my comfort zone so that I could work on my health – something a mom doesn’t often do. Thank you!

Mailey has had the best experience with Vision therapy. Her vision has drastically improved, her confidence is back, and her headaches are gone. Her reading comprehension has improved so much. She loves learning again and completes assignments with ease. Thank you all for all you have done for her.

Before vision therapy, I had strabismus. Kids at school would ask me, ‘Why don’t your eyes stay together? What are you looking at?’. I wasn’t aware of my condition until kids at school started asking. I began to ask my mom why my eyes would go different directions.

My favorite thing about vision therapy is playing new games every week. I love being rewarded from the treasure box, after my long week of therapy exercises. Playing games with the Virtual Reality is what I enjoy the most.

After vision therapy, I gained control of my own eyes. I now enjoy playing with my friends more. I can control the direction of my eyes without being asked, ‘Why aren’t your eyes together?’. After vision therapy, I have dominated strabismus.

Before vision therapy, I had poor depth perception and on my left side my peripheral vision wasn’t great. I was skipping and re-reading lines while reading and would have pain in my left eye.

After vision therapy, my depth perception and peripheral vision has improved. My reading ability has improved and my eye no longer hurts.

My favorite things about vision therapy were: Virtual reality (obviously). The people, especially my therapist Jessica. How it improved my vision and made my eye stop hurting. How everything was explained.

It’s been a great experience. Everyone at VTSA has been wonderful to work with – so kind and accommodating. The staff is very professional. And last but not least of all, I’m very happy with the progress Jack made. His sight has improved very much and he is no longer suffering from headaches! Thank you!

“Since coming to Vision Therapy of San Antonio, I have experienced significant progress in various aspects of my vision and cognitive recovery from two strokes in March 2018.

I can now see more colors than before my arrival here. I can now read faster with retention than before vision therapy. I have developed better focus without distractions. I am able to see images with much greater detail than before my arrival here. I have more confidence overall in my sight and my cognition and managing my business in everyday life.

The motivation that my therapist Wendy provided each week kept me moving forward from one level to the next.

There are tasks I can do today that I could not just one year ago, and I am grateful for Wendy and Melody’s help and encouragement.

My heartfelt thanks goes out to the staff of VTSA! You are exactly what I needed when we found you and your program!!

Opps! Almost forgot,

I have also taken my wife for a ride in my car 3 times in the neighborhood! (The first time since coming to vision therapy for one year!!) Awesome! I am cooking and grilling more too!!! I can now read and see my phone – couldn’t before.

I am loving life more each day, thank you so much!! I’ll be back, all the way!! I don’t quit.”

Before vision therapy, I had pretty significant dizziness regularly. It was pretty frustrating. After vision therapy, I no longer have had any dizziness. It went away completely.

My favorite things about vision therapy were: I really enjoyed doing virtual reality activities as well as the games towards the end of an appointment. I also just enjoyed being able to see and feel my progress.

Before vision therapy, reading was A) a struggle and B) not fun/enjoying. Sports were not as bad, but certain situations were extremely challenging. After vision therapy, I’ve seen a significant increase in my fluency and my ability to intake information.

My favorite things about vision therapy had to be the staff. Now I know this might be basic, but my success wouldn’t be possible without the constant positive reinforcement and the patience that was given to me. So, I thank them for that. No game of “Oracle” or the “color shapey thingy” could ever top them.

My vision was negatively affected after I had several brain injuries. My vision test results were abnormal and I really struggled to be able to read and have much vision stamina. When I did read, my headaches and fatigue would get worse. I wasn’t able to read without using my finger to track my place and my eyes would get easily tired during my everyday activities.

I can now read with so much more ease and without losing my place, using my finger to tack, or experiencing a substantial increase in fatigue or in my headaches. On days when my neuro symptoms are worse, my vision can still be affected, but it improves again so much faster than it did before. My vision test results have dramatically improved and are in the normal ranges now! My eyes have much better stamina and my quality of life have been positively affected as a result of the changes I’ve had to my vision!

Melody has been the most amazing vision therapist. Her expertise, care, and approach made such a huge difference as she knew how to make vision therapy enjoyable and effective with attainable goals along the way. All of the office staff are so kind and help you to feel so welcome. They are your biggest cheerleaders that keep you staying positive and encouraged throughout your time in vision therapy. Thank y’all so much for everything!
