Helping people of all ages improve learning skills so they have more time for fun, friends and family.

I do this by providing one on one coaching, 12 week courses, Mastermind Vision Courses and Vision Therapy Seminars. The Cedarville Vision Therapy Seminars consist of 3 weekend events (4 days each) that teach how to have SUCCESS with Vision Therapy for all patient cases (Strabismus, Amblyopia, Convergence or Divergence Binocular Vision Disorders, Vision Related Learning Deficiencies and Brain Injury). These presentations benefit optometrists with or without experience in vision therapy, optometry students, residents, and optometric vision therapists. Last year’s attendees all highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to have more success in less time. Go to www.visiontherapyseminars.com for more details, or call Dr. Montecalvo at 937-766-9787 with questions.

If your child struggles to focus, it may not be attention… it may be visual control.

Concentration is not just about willpower. It is also about how efficiently the eyes and brain work together.
By strengthening visual skills and improving eye movement control, children can read more comfortably, reduce eye strain, and stay engaged in their schoolwork longer. When the visual system works smoothly, learning feels easier and more manageable.

If your child is bright but is easily fatigued during visual tasks, it may be time to evaluate how their visual system is functioning.

Remember, better visual skills support better concentration.

Ever wonder why your favorite coffee cup is the perfect shape, or how your GPS knows exactly where you are? It’s all "3.14159..."
Happy International Day of Mathematics (and the tastiest day of the year, Pi Day)!
Math isn’t just about solving for "x". It’s the hidden language of the universe. It’s in the spiral of a seashell, the architecture of our cities, and—believe it or not—the precision of your eyeglass lenses.

From calculating the perfect curve of a lens to the way light hits your retina, math is what helps us see the world clearly. Today, we’re celebrating the "constant" beauty of "π" and the infinite ways math makes life better.

Let's explore, discover, and celebrate the wonders of mathematics!

Imagine losing your vision so slowly you don't even notice it's happening. That’s why we call Glaucoma the 'Silent Thief of Sight.'

Today is World Glaucoma Day, and we’re sounding the alarm on a condition that often has zero symptoms until it’s too late.

Glaucoma creeps in by damaging the optic nerve, usually due to high pressure in the eye. If you’re over 40, have a family history, or manage conditions like diabetes, you’re on the "most wanted" list for this thief.

The good news? A simple, painless eye exam can catch it early enough to save your sight. You can't get back what's lost, but you can protect what you have.

Early detection.
Simple screening.
Lifelong protection.

Some bright students work so hard at sounding out every word that reading never becomes smooth or enjoyable. Their lips move, they “lip read,” and silent reading feels almost impossible.

One simple strategy I use in vision therapy is to have these students read with the book upside down, using material a couple of grade levels below their current level. It sounds strange, but it helps break old habits, forces the brain to process print in a new way, and often turns “I hate reading” into “I wonder if I can do this?”

If your child is bright but still battling with reading, it may not be a motivation problem—it may be a vision and processing problem. Send me a message or book a vision evaluation to explore whether specialized strategies like this could open the door to easier, more enjoyable reading.

Between endless scrolling, Zoom calls, and late-night binge-watching, our eyes are under more pressure than ever. Blue light and digital glare aren't just annoying—they’re exhausting your vision.

March is Save Your Vision Month, the perfect time to pivot from "dealing with the strain" to "preventing the pain." A quick check-up can be the difference between a constant headache and crystal-clear comfort. Let’s make sure your eyes are as updated as your favorite apps.

International Women’s Day is about more than a calendar date. It’s about the resilience of our mothers, the ambition of our colleagues, and the brilliance of the mentors who reached back to pull us up.
When we support a woman’s vision, we don't just change one life—we shift the entire world's perspective.

Happy International Women’s Day!

National Reading Month is celebrated in March to honor Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

Reading is one of the best habits you can develop because it enhances understanding and analytical abilities, strengthens the mind, and helps with memory. It stimulates creativity as well. Enjoy reading!

Brain injuries can create major challenges in a person’s daily life, often leading to long-term effects for both them and their loved ones.

Brain Injury Awareness Day plays a key role in spreading awareness about this serious issue. Brain injuries can result from falls, concussions caused by strong impacts to the head, or even deep cuts from sharp objects.

In the U.S. alone, at least 2.8 million people suffer from traumatic brain injuries every year. Raising awareness and understanding the risks can help prevent these injuries and support those affected.

Today, March 2nd, we honor the legendary Theodor Seuss Geisel.

From "The Cat in the Hat" to "The Lorax", his stories taught us that "a person's a person, no matter how small."

We’re joining the National Education Association to remind everyone that reading isn't just a school subject — it’s the key to exploring the world. Grab a book, find a cozy corner, and let your imagination run wild today!

It’s National Essay Day! Writing is one of the most powerful ways children learn to organize their thoughts and express their beliefs.

However, if your child struggles to keep their place on the page or gets headaches while writing, it might not be "laziness"—it could be their visual tracking or binocular vision.

Essays help us see the world through our children's' eyes. Let’s make sure their eyes are ready for the task!

Homework should not feel like a nightly battle. When a bright child struggles to focus, loses their place, skips words, or complains of tired eyes, the problem is not always motivation—it may be how their visual system is working.

When these skills are weak, schoolwork can feel exhausting, even if the standard eye exam said “20/20.” Vision therapy helps strengthen these underlying visual skills so children can read more comfortably, maintain attention longer, and feel more confident in and out of the classroom.

If homework meltdowns, slow reading, or frequent “tired eyes” sound familiar, it may be time for a vision evaluation.
