Austin, TX, Austin Vision Center is pleased to announce that they now offer a complimentary consultation to parents who wish to discuss their children’s visual system concerns. This will also allow their doctors to recommend potential next steps.

“Our dream is to revolutionize the lives of people who want answers, and desire something different from conventional treatment approaches designed only to alleviate symptoms. We are constantly improving our methodologies so that more people can benefit from our services,” said Dr. Denise Smith, Austin Vision Center.

Austin Vision Center offer a full range of vision related services for children and adults, including vision therapy and visual rehabilitation, treatment for brain injuries where vision has been impaired by illness, injury and neurological disorders, eye care for Strabismus (crossed eyes), Amblyopia (lazy eye), as well has providing therapy programs to address problems relating to vision and learning disabilities similar to dyslexia.

Some of the most common visual symptoms that may be caused by a brain injury include sensitivity to bright light, difficulty reading, poor concentration, decreased memory, and double or blurred vision.

Vision is directly connected to how people learn things, visually and verbally. How people read, spell, write, and learn from daily experiences depends greatly on how visually equipped people are. Poor vision can impair learning ability, something that may not be obvious for many children. 25% of children with learning challenges have a vision problem.

Children are sometimes given treatments without adequate knowledge of what the problem is because there are symptoms that overlap across multiple conditions. All too often, someone may engage in treatment for dyslexia or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), when they actually have a vision problem.

“At the Austin Vision Therapy Center, we see the whole picture and work to find a proper diagnosis of the root cause of the problem before offering any treatment,” said Dr. Smith. It is important to understand that vision and concentration are interrelated. If eye movements aren’t properly coordinated and the eyes cannot focus adequately, it will affect an individual’s ability to concentrate, something that can be easily mistaken for ADHD. The website makes available a Functional Symptom Checklist which can be filled in and submitted online. This checklist is a critical first step in determining the type and amount of functional vision problems which may exist.

Many customer reviews are also accessible through the website, including 123 five-star reviews from around the web, including Valerie Mutter’s: “We had an amazing experience with Dr. Smith and her team. Our son suffered a significant concussion, and after visiting several doctors, including child neurologists, we eventually had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Smith. She was amazingly thorough, and was able to uncover several deficits affecting our son's vision, as well as his brain's ability to process what he was seeing. He had even lost a significant portion of his peripheral vision. After many months of therapy, he was able to regain all of his sight and his brain's vision processing skills, which in turn improved his reading and academic skills. It even contributed to his ability to participate in any sports related activities requiring fast visual processing skills. We can't thank them enough! They truly changed our son's life. It was the best money we have ever spent to help our son.”

Getting treatment for problems relating to vision and dyslexia in Austin might be challenging, especially if the medical facility doesn’t provide the proper examination and diagnosis. “At the Austin Vision Center, we ensure that patients get the requisite testing to ascertain an accurate diagnosis before a treatment plan is recommended, said Dr. Smith. “We dedicate ourselves to finding and providing solutions to meet our patients’ individual needs. We truly take to heart the trust our patients have instilled in us and do everything we can to earn and hold on to that trust.”

Via Facebook, the Austin Vision Therapy Center provides many insights that go beyond what most consider to be simple eyesight issues. The Austin Vision Center knows that there’s more to healthy vision than just 20/20 eyesight and provide comprehensive examinations to thoroughly evaluate vision for adults and children including Eye Teaming, Eye Focusing, Eye Movements/Tracking, Letter Reversals, Visual Processing/Memory, Depth Perception, Hand-Eye Coordination, and Peripheral Vision.

Those looking for more information may contact Dr. Denise Smith of the Austin Vision Center. Visitors to their website, at http://austinvisiontherapycenter.com/, may also access the Functional Symptom Checklist, ask questions, make an appointment, and access Google maps for directions to the clinic.
