We had another graduate from our vision therapy program earlier this week. With her hard work and dedication to showing up and giving high level with her homework and consistency she even finished earlier than estimated!! Congratulations!!

“I never really noticed my vision problems until high school hit. I struggled with reading from a page without using my finger, reading from a chalkboard especially in the dark, and several more vision problems involving jumbled words and skipped lines. After I met the office I realized things needed to change in order for my way of daily living to improve. Laura has been my biggest supporter through vision therapy. At every session I’m proud to say I’ve learned something new about myself. She’s helped me become a goal setter and has incredibly improved my time management. Vision therapy as a whole has made learning at school easier for me and has improved my overall vision so much as well. I am forever grateful for Dr. Huang, Laura and the team for this opportunity and experience. Thank you for everything. Another thanks for Dr. Bussey for referring me.”

The beautiful soul graduated from our program recently and we couldn’t be happier with the dedication and hard work she put in to achieve such wonderful results!!

“After I hit my head, I continued to decline from persistent concussion symptoms for a whole year. I had consistently visited my family physician and several specialists during that time, nothing was working. By the time I found Dr. Huang I was desperate and very worried. My symptoms included non-visual issues suck as memory, balance, extreme fatigue, anxiety, slow speech, as well as visual issues such as very slow focusing, inability to look at motion, poor eye-teaming and I couldn’t read. I was so desperate to get better and so hopeful that vision therapy could help that I kept an open mind and did everything that was asked of me to the best of my ability. I was serious and I did my homework. It paid off. I’m back to my old self. I’m able to help my kids with their homework, engage in physical activities with them, I’m achieving growth in my career, and my relationship with my husband has never been better. It was a challenge for us all and we couldn’t be more grateful. Vision therapy literally helped my family get their lives back.”

Many patients ask me how my program came to be and I would often mention specific names. Names that grew big enough that allowed the rest of us to grow as well.

These were the people that I frequently travel to just to get the next lesson or regroup among like-minded people. Hawaii, Switzerland, and San Diego.

There's an even smaller group of names that I was blessed to get to know on a personal level. Meeting regularly and glean even more important lessons. The ones that help carve out the paths that we navigate, trying to reach that next level of success, who we were meant to be.

This is one of the big ones and recently, he posted that his health has taken a turn. And with the tremendous outpouring of stories and memories, this is my humble contribution to a great man.

I hope to make it back to San Diego soon to share one more story. One more laughter. One more lesson. One more hug.

I love you Bob.

Bob Sanet and the importance of being brave.

Look at this newest graduate from our vision therapy program. He was successful in making some huge changes because of all the hard work he put in! Congratulations sir, your effort was amazing!

“Significantly changed my life! It helped me to be more aware of how to control my eye movement. It greatly helped to reduce how strained my eyes always felt. It also helped to improve my light sensitivity. Dr. Huang and the team of vision therapists are great at listening to your concerns and creating a program targeted to those concerns. Very thankful for their help.”

Today we had another hard working graduate! She gave her best effort every week and it shows in her results. Congratulations!!

“Vision therapy has made a huge impact on her life. Her academics have improved. She is no longer reversing letters and if she does, she catches herself. Her attention to detail and penmanship is better. She wants to read more. In sports, her hand-eye coordination has improved. Most noticeable is her confidence to overcome challenges. If something is difficult she finds a strategy to be successful. We could not be more thankful. Thank you.”

Earlier this week we got to graduate the wonderful human from the therapy program! They worked so hard making wonderful gains and succeeded with all their goals in here! Congratulations!!!

“Vision therapy helped me learn how to achieve my goals, for example I can now copy notes easier, my hand- eye coordination is better, my depth perception has improved. My writing finally doesn’t slant upwards or downwards. And most importantly to me I’ve come out of my bubble a bit and find it easier to make friends. I also thankfully have better time management and coordination and balance.”

Last week this wonderful woman graduated from our vision therapy program. She showed up, gave high level, crushed her goals, and made some really great changes because of it. Congratulations!! You worked hard and it paid off!

“When I came in to see Dr. Huang it was due to a dizziness/lightheaded issue that had really affected my life. It was to the point that I was really afraid to leave my home and travel anymore as my husband and I had loved to do, especially in retirement. My own optometrist, Dr. Vespa suggested that perhaps Dr. Huang’s vision therapy could help. I had certainly tried everything else and had undergone a lot of medical tests and specialist visits to no avail. I am very grateful to the team at Eye Care First for their help over this past year. I have now resumed travel and can go about my day to day feeling solid and balanced on my feet. I walk with confidence and am no longer in constant fear of falling/ fainting. The exercises and practice have helped me to achieve this. My gratitude towards Dr. Huang and his team(in particular, Tessa and Laura) cannot be measured. You have helped to restore my balance and ability to go about my day to day feeling as I did before all of this began.”

Here is our second graduate from last week! This young lady gave her very best every week and worked so hard. The results show how much she put into this program! Congratulations! Thank you letting us be part of your journey!

“Vision therapy has changed my life by making my school work easier to do and to understand assignments better. As well it made me more aware of my strengths and weaknesses in school work, dance and actual work. Vision therapy also helped me realize that I can do hard things and overall helped me to read better without confusion. Finally, vision therapy helped limit the headaches I used to get daily which eventually lead to more motivation to want to read and more motivation to do my assignments. Overall, vision therapy changed my life significantly for the better.”
