OMST stands for Optometric Multisensory Training and provides multiple sensory stimuli simultaneously, incorporating vision, vestibular, and auditory stimulation to help re-train the brain on a subcortical level.

Who can benefit from OMST?
Most people would likely benefit from OMST! It is
exceptionally beneficial to our neurodivergent (including autism spectrum, ADHD, anxiety, OCD) and concussion patients.

Our next round of OMST is starting soon. Curious if OMST might be a good fit for you or your child? Send us a DM.

This is why we do what we do. To meet families where they are, to bring light when things feel heavy, and to show that better vision — and a better life — is possible.

We’re so glad this family didn’t give up and found us!

If your child has ever been told to wear an eye patch, you know how tough it can be.

Tears. Frustration. Daily battles. Parents feel guilty, kids feel discouraged — and nobody wins.

Here’s the truth:
👉 You’re not alone.
👉 Your child isn’t being “difficult.”
👉 And patching isn’t the best option.

At Southern Vision Development Center, we use vision therapy to strengthen the eyes + brain in ways that feel safe, supportive, and even fun. Because vision care should feel like hope, not punishment. ✨

Vision therapy goes beyond clearer sight. It opens doors to easier learning, smoother recovery, and more confidence in everyday life. It’s about so much more than just the eyes. 💡

Meet one of our amazing Vision Therapists here at Southern Vision Development Center, Brittany!

✨Why vision therapy?
“I’ve always had a passion for working with kids. Vision therapy opened a whole new way of helping others and improving their daily lives.”

💛 Her favorite part of the job?
“Building relationships. I’ve met so many wonderful people I never would have otherwise — and watching all of their hard work finally click is the most rewarding part.”

✨ Her hope for every patient:
“That they feel safe here. I want patients to know this is a place where it’s okay to make mistakes, and to experience growth and success.”

Fun fact: When she’s not at the office, you might find her treasure-hunting at estate sales.

We’re so lucky to have Brittany on our team — drop a 👋 in the comments.

October is both Vision Awareness Month and Learning Disabilities Awareness Month — and the two are more connected than most people realize.

👉 ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning struggles are often complicated by hidden vision problems.

👉 Kids can pass vision screenings or even eye exams and still have vision issues that affect reading + learning.

👉 The good news: these vision problems are treatable.

At Southern Vision Development Center, we help uncover and correct these hidden issues so kids can thrive in school and in life. ✨

💡 Let’s spread the word: tag a parent, teacher, or friend who needs to know this.

When Crystal’s mom came to us, she was searching for
answers. Crystal struggled with an eye coordination problem
that made words seem to move, look doubled, or even cast
shadows on the page. 📚
Reading felt frustrating. Learning felt harder than it should.
Fortunately, her mom heard about our office and brought
Crystal in for a full vision evaluation with Dr. Jones. The
diagnosis gave them clarity — and a path forward.
✨ After completing a program of optometric vision therapy,
Crystal experienced the relief and progress she needed. Now,
reading no longer feels impossible — it feels possible.
Stories like Crystal’s remind us why we do what we do:
uncover hidden vision problems, restore hope, and open the door to brighter futures. 💛

🎉 Another Vision Therapy graduate! 🎉

We’re so proud of this student who worked hard, showed up week after week, and now gets to enjoy life with clearer, more comfortable vision. 💛

Watching kids go from frustrated to confident is why we do what we do.

When the eyes and brain are working together smoothly, people experience:

📚 Easier learning + reading → kids (and adults) can finally focus, keep their place, and comprehend what they read.

🧠 Faster recovery after concussions/brain injuries
→ less dizziness, double vision, or headaches.

👀 Comfort in daily life → reduced eye strain, clearer vision, and better focus at work or school.

💪 Confidence + independence → no more frustration of “I can’t do this,” replaced with “I’ve got this.”

🎉 More energy for life → because the brain isn’t wasting effort trying to compensate for vision issues.

🌟 Meet Bri, our Office Manager and Lead Vision Therapist here at Southern Vision Development Center!

When asked how she became a vision therapist, she said:
“To be honest, I kind of fell into it — but I’m so glad I did. I met Dr. Jones while working at a different Optometry office. Once I found out about vision therapy, I fell in love with it. I’ve always cared for people, and this gave me a way to see patients go from struggling with everyday tasks to excelling in life.” 💛

✨ What she loves most about her work?
Helping patients — especially kids — go from overwhelmed and frustrated to confident and thriving. Watching someone who once struggled with school finally live up to their potential is her favorite part of the job. She also loves teaching patients that progress > perfection, not just in vision therapy but in life.

🌸 Fun fact: When she’s not in the office, you’ll probably find her painting, crafting, or making flower arrangements from her garden.

At Southern Vision Development Center, we’re so lucky to have team members like Bri who pour so much care and creativity into our patients’ journeys.

Many vision issues don’t show up on a standard eye exam.

Kids and adults can look “fine” on paper but still struggle with reading, focus, or daily tasks. That’s where vision therapy makes the hidden visible–and change finally happens.

💡 Did you know vision problems can exist even with 20/20 eyesight?
