If you've got 20 minutes to spare and want to learn something new about how children see, take a look at this! If you play it at 1.25x or 1.5x, it's less than 20 minutes 🤣

Most people think 20/20 eyesight means a child’s vision is “perfect.” But vision is much more than seeing clearly at a distance. Many children struggle with ...

Your child sees 20/20… but still struggles with reading? If their eye exam says “everything’s fine,” but you know something’s off — don’t ignore it.

Here are 3 subtle signs of a hidden vision problem:
- Skipping lines or losing their place while reading
- Complaining of headaches, tired eyes, or watery eyes after homework
- Avoiding reading or getting frustrated — even though they’re smart

These aren’t just reading issues.
They’re often signs of problems with eye teaming, tracking, or visual processing — things a regular eye chart can’t detect.

20/20 isn’t the whole story.
We see with our brains — not just our eyes.

DM us “VISION” and we’ll send you a free checklist of signs to look for.

What has Dr Chelette been up to lately? Publishing a podcast...!!

Here's the episode that dropped today and it's probably the most important one of the series that is being made. Why most "eye exams" miss "vision problems", and why 20/20 eyesight is not the end of the story (rarely is it even the beginning of the story!).

They said the eye exam was fine but your child still hates reading.

Still forgets what they just saw. Still stumbles over words you know they recognize.

So if everything’s “fine", why does it still feel so hard?

Most people think vision is just about clarity.

But behavioral optometrists ask a different question... How well are the eyes and brain working together?

That’s where vision therapy comes in.

It’s a structured treatment program that improves how the brain and eyes function together, not just how clearly someone sees, but how efficiently they process, track, focus, and remember what they see.

20/20 doesn’t measure that but it’s exactly what affects reading, learning, attention, and comfort.

Who is vision therapy for?
🔹 Kids who struggle with reading or focus even with tutoring
🔹 Children with crossed eyes, lazy eye, or convergence issues
🔹 Adults recovering from brain injuries or concussions
🔹 Athletes wanting to sharpen performance
🔹 Anyone with eye strain, double vision, or headaches from screens

Through neuroplasticity and guided training, we help retrain the visual system to work better, one session at a time.

If the test says everything’s normal but your gut says something’s off, trust it.
Vision therapy may be the missing piece.

If you’ve been wondering where Dr Chelette has been lately, he’s been one of the keynote speakers at the largest optometry conference in Eastern Europe, a conference called Optometria that took place in Krakow Poland!

Over the course of three days he spoke for 11.5 hours straight to more than 600 optometrists from all across Europe, places like Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, and Germany.

Now time for him to get back to Texas and go back to work!

We have all been watching as the educational system here in Texas continues to worsen and how reading scores across the country continue to fall. Recently we learned that the state is engaging in even more heinous behavior, how they are suing to attempt to abolish section 504.

Many of our pediatric patients in public schools have either 504 plans or IEPs, and these services help them by, for example, offering extra time for tests, having the teachers create easier-to-read material compared to their peers (such as printing them on different colors or in larger font sizes), permitting the use assistive technology such as audio books or speak-to-type, etc.

Unfortunately, we have heard from many parents that it is a fight to get the schools to acknowledge and recognize these accommodations - and now the state of Texas shamefully wants them removed completely.

If you're reading this please call this number and complain. Request that the attorney general withdraw this disgusting lawsuit. Kids today have it hard enough, and now the Texas state government is trying to take away their federal protections for no reason other than cruelty.

Prior to seeking an ADHD diagnosis, a child needs their functional vision tested. Difficulties with the eye movements and with the eye-teaming can and will exacerbate attentional problems in a classroom, and medications do not resolve vision problems.

If your child is distracted easily or lose their place when they’re reading, you might be quick to get an ADHD diagnosis. Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, a neuro-optometrist, says that it might be vision issues instead. News4’s Joseph Olmo talks to Appelbaum about how ADHD-like symptoms are similar to prob...
