A vision care practice with emphasis on developmental vision and vision therapy. Whether your world places more demands on your vision at distance or near, my patient-centered approach means your visual needs are taken into account for an accurate prescription. A comprehensive evaluation of your visual system will provide a tailored solution for clear, comfortable, and accurate vision.

"20/20" is the beginning to good vision, not the end. "20/20" refers only to visual acuity and is merely a static measurement of the clarity of a person's eyesight. Vision, on the other hand, is a dynamic and integrated process that provides us with knowledge about our world and involves all the senses. This process begins with a healthy visual system to not only coordinate the eyes with speed and accuracy in all directions, but also as a team from near to far - and back again. It needs an adequate and rapid focusing mechanism to clear these images to help us find meaning from what is seen.
Vision is learned. Learning how to see is a skill like any other skill. It requires practice through meaningful interactions with our environment. From this process we learn the skills needed to have good vision. Visual acuity is just one of these skills. The visual process begins in utero and requires movement to develop fully, and consequently provides us with information about our world and is therefore unique to each person.
