“My situation was challenging – an 80-year-old who had struggled with double vision for almost half my life. The prism strength kept getting stronger and I didn’t think anything could be done until I was referred to Dr. Nielson. There was no magic wand that could instantly cure my vision problem, nor did I expect one, but with Dr. Nielson’s help and by diligently completing the exercises each day, I have been able to make huge improvements and maintain those improvements. I can finally read comfortably and enjoy reading again. Thanks, Dr. Nielson!” - Mary

Stories like this show that it’s never too late to improve vision. Vision therapy can help patients of all ages strengthen eye coordination, reduce double vision, and regain comfort in daily activities.

If double vision or eye coordination issues are affecting your life, contact Idaho Vision Development Center today and take the first step toward clearer, more comfortable vision.

Seeing double can be unsettling and frustrating. Double vision, or diplopia, happens when a single object appears as two images. It can affect one or both eyes and may occur occasionally or persistently.

Double vision occurs when the eyes are not working together properly. When alignment or coordination is off, the brain receives conflicting signals, creating overlapping or separated images. Causes can range from temporary issues like an outdated prescription to more serious concerns such as eye muscle weakness, neurological problems, or trauma.

The good news is vision therapy can help. Personalized exercises and targeted therapies strengthen eye coordination, improve alignment, and retrain the brain to process visual information efficiently. Many patients notice significant improvement and regain comfort in daily activities like reading, driving, and playing sports.
If you or someone you know struggles with double vision, don’t wait. Contact us today to learn more about our vision therapy services and take the first step toward clear, coordinated vision.

If your child often avoids reading, loses their place, mixes up words, or struggles to concentrate, it could be more than just effort—it might be a functional vision problem.
Many children who struggle in school may have visual processing problems, not learning or attention issues. Even with 20/20 eyesight, focusing, tracking, or using both eyes together can be a challenge.

A developmental vision evaluation can reveal issues standard eye exams miss. Take our free Vision Quiz to see if your child’s challenges could be vision-related.

We’re excited to introduce the Optometric Multi-Sensory Training (OMST) system, one of the newest and most advanced tools in our office.

OMST combines visual, auditory, vestibular, and somatosensory stimulation to help the brain process information more efficiently, improving coordination, attention, and visual function.

Developed by Dr. Steven Curtis of EyeLux Integrations, OMST supports post-concussion rehabilitation, children with sensory processing delays, athletic performance, and overall neurological wellness. By engaging multiple senses at once, it helps patients of all ages function with greater comfort and confidence in daily life.
We’re proud to offer OMST as part of our commitment to advanced, research-driven vision care.

Reading time used to end in tears for Stetson and his family. He mixed up letters, struggled with handwriting, and felt frustrated every night they tried to read together. After learning he was seeing double and had eye-tracking difficulties, his family finally found answers at Idaho Vision Development Center.

With Dr. Nielson’s help and fun, game-based therapy sessions, Stetson started seeing real changes—no more double vision, better coordination, and smoother reading. His confidence has soared, and his parents are thrilled to see him enjoying learning again.
“I would not hesitate to recommend vision therapy,” his mom shared. “It’s changed his life.”

Stetson’s story is a powerful reminder that with the right care and vision therapy, kids can rediscover the joy of learning and life.

Amblyopia, often called lazy eye, is more than just poor vision in one eye. It happens when the brain and eyes aren’t communicating properly, which can cause reduced vision, depth perception challenges, coordination issues, and even learning difficulties.

Amblyopia can develop in one or both eyes and may result from eye misalignment, unequal prescriptions, or lack of visual stimulation in early childhood. Signs to watch for include an eye that turns in or out, squinting, head tilting, or a noticeable difference in vision between the eyes.

The good news is that amblyopia can be treated at any age with advanced vision therapy techniques, specialized lenses, and exercises that strengthen the brain-eye connection. Many patients see significant improvements in vision, coordination, and daily comfort.

If you or your child may have amblyopia, schedule a binocular vision evaluation at Idaho Vision Development Center today. We’re here to help every patient see clearly and thrive.

This Thanksgiving season, we’re feeling extra grateful for our amazing patients, their families, and the inspiring progress we get to witness every single day.

Watching a child discover the joy of reading without frustration or seeing an adult finally find relief after a concussion reminds us why we do what we do. Vision therapy changes lives by helping the brain and eyes work together more efficiently, and that’s something truly worth celebrating.

From all of us at Idaho Vision Development Center, thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey toward clearer, more comfortable vision. Wishing you a holiday filled with gratitude, connection, and bright, happy eyes.

Did you know that more than half of your brain’s activity is connected to vision? After a concussion or brain injury, symptoms like headaches when reading, light sensitivity, or double vision may appear. These are signs your visual system might need extra care.

The good news is that your brain can heal through neuroplasticity. Vision therapy, tinted lenses, and specialized glasses can support recovery and help restore clear, comfortable vision.

Does homework end in tears after endless hours at the kitchen table? Your child is not alone and the problem might not be motivation or attention. Many kids who appear distracted or “lazy” during homework are actually battling hidden vision problems that make it hard to concentrate.

When the eyes do not work together properly, it can lead to headaches, blurry words, and mental fatigue. It is no wonder your child loses focus after just a few minutes. These struggles often get mislabeled as ADHD or learning difficulties when the root cause is visual, not behavioral.
Watch for these signs at home:
• Homework takes far longer than it should
• Frequent headaches or eye rubbing during reading
• Difficulty sitting still or paying attention
• Reversing letters or skipping small words

If this sounds familiar, your child may have a functional vision problem even if their eye exam showed 20/20 eyesight.

A developmental vision evaluation can uncover what standard eye tests miss. Take our free Vision Quiz to learn more.
