[04/06/20]   Most of our patients have moved to our interim remote vision therapy program and it is working with great success! Patients are working with therapists through an online meeting platform until it is safe to return back to in-office VT. If you were enrolled in our program before the stay-at-home order and have not yet scheduled for remote vision therapy, please call our office right away so we can get you moving! (703) 729-3545.

[03/23/20]   I am excited to announce that I have worked the past week developing an effective remote vision therapy program for our patients so you can continue to make gains during this time. I can implement this tailored-to-the-patient program immediately. I will be contacting all of our patients/parents by email today. Stay safe. Kindest regards, Dr. Cantwell

Spot-It Party Game (Color of Packaging May Vary)

Parents are asking what they can do to keep their children's visual skills improving. I'll provide a detailed list a bit later, but for right now, let me share one of my all time favorite games: Spot It! Fantastic for visual memory, tracking, and visual discrimination. And fun as well!!

amazon.com Packaging Color & and Packaging Labeling May differ. Same exact contents within. Exact same manufacturer UPC Bar Code, Same manufacturer product number. Sam exact game except the color and wording on packaging may vary.

[03/16/20]   March 16: Today my staff and I will be discussing a detailed action plan which will be implemented immediately which includes: 1) arranging the VT schedule in order to limit VT sessions to 2 patients or less at one time; 2) "Buffered" scheduling for Dr. Cantwell, allowing more time in between each of his appointments which will limit the number of people in the waiting room; 3) Having all patients wash their hands as soon as they enter the office. These are just a few of the changes that will go into affect. Current Vt patients expect a call and email with more details.

The ultimate goal to have as few patients in the office at one time so we can continue to serve patients and their needs in a safe manner for them and the community at large.

If you or your child are sick or have a fever, please reschedule your appointment as soon as possible.

[03/16/20]   March 15 UPDATE: Our office will open Monday the 16th and VT sessions run as usual; all VT patients/parents will be contacted Monday regarding our plan to limit the numbers of patients in each session and in the waiting room going forward.
