High School English Teacher – Saturday, October 20, 2007
Imagine my horror to discover after 20 years of teaching high school English that there is something else I could be offering my nonreaders than “more of the same.” I have just finished watching your video tape “Vision Alert: 20/20 Is Not Enough,” lent to me by a student who has made some real improvement in the last two months after struggling for seventeen years with very little change.

Please send me any information you can about your organization and the problems students have with vision and school. I can think of at least two students in each of my classes who might benefit from your program. Why haven’t I heard about it before now?

Carleen E. Clearwater – Saturday, October 20, 2007
In the beginning, I had troubles with tracking and changing or shifting my focus clearly. While reading, my eyes tired quickly and I soon saw double or blurry. This made it very frustrating to study. Due to my vision therapy, I no longer have troubles reading during school. The activities are simple and less time consuming. My visits were well worth it. I will be leaving for college in a year and it’s comforting to know that the hours of required study will be easier.

Doug’s tracking has improved and as a result his reading rhythm is much smoother. I feel his level of self confidence has also increased to the extent that reading at school is no longer a nightmare for him.

Ryan Burnett, Age 9 – Saturday, October 20, 2007
Getting my glasses has been one of the most important positive things that has happened. I probly (sic) would be a lot different if I never have gotten glasses. My grades probly wouldn’t have been as good, I wouldn’t be as good at sports, and I probly wouldn’t have as many friends if I never got glasses. Thank you for recognizing my eye problems when I was younger and fixing me.

Kim Holley – Saturday, October 20, 2007
When I started vision therapy, I was wearing glasses for reading, having headaches and some blurred vision while I worked. They started me on simple eye exercises daily to strengthen my eyes. After a couple of weeks, I could feel a change in how I was working.

Now, after 4 months, I don’t wear my reading glasses anymore and the headaches and blurred vision are gone. I can see much clearer.

Dear friends, a short note to thank you for helping me reach my goal of becoming an airline pilot. Through your program of personalized vision therapy, I was able to improve my vision adequately enough to pass some pretty tough eye exams; exams I could not have successfully passed otherwise. I will continue to recommend your services to fellow pilots with similar aspirations.

Regan Price – Saturday, October 20, 2007
I went through 9 months of vision therapy and have not regretted my decision. I am a commercial photographer and ever since I can remember I was frustrated with not being able to focus my camera and see street signs as clear as I wanted. With my profession demanding such fine detail, I had to do something. I went from checkup to checkup having 20/20 vision and still unable to see clearly. Finally, someone suggested “Vision Therapy!”

Even though I still cannot see perfectly, the difference in my life and career has been tremendous. I am glad your organization is helping to publish the benefits of vision therapy. Now I know why school and reading were so difficult for me. All schools should have some sort of detection program for vision disabilities.

Teasie Witte – Saturday, October 20, 2007
The major change that I have noticed is Liza’s attitude towards reading. Before having her eye problems diagnosed, she was overwhelmed with reading more than a short page at a time. Now she will read chapters at one sitting. I feel the knowledge that a problem exists and can be corrected has restored her self confidence.

Pat Sidelinger – Saturday, October 20, 2007
After the summer months, family members and friends alike have noted remarkable changes in Michael’s behavior. His maturity level, self-esteem and physical coordination has “greatly” excelled! Just over the past week my Mom said, “Mike is a pleasure to take shopping now. He is so mature.” Dad said, “I can’t believe Michael actually paid attention all day and was never corrected. He was fun to be with.”

My friend said, “Michael has matured over the summer and athletically changed so much that he doesn’t seem to be the same child.” He plays baseball, swims, and started diving with ease. He met a very nice, timid and uncoordinated boy recently and Mike said, “That boy reminds me of myself last year!”

Cheryl Troyer – Saturday, October 20, 2007
After the first 8 weeks of vision therapy, I noticed a huge difference in Sarah’s personality – she was happy! Now I am seeing (along with her teacher) a steady improvement in school work. Sarah’s effort in school along with her reading is improved. Sarah is also becoming more social and outgoing – she joins in. She is noticing new things around her and her tiny world is expanding. When out in a store, instead of me keeping “tabs” on where Sarah is – she keeps “tabs” on me. Family members have noticed her behavior and social skills improve. Her teacher is really pleased as we all are.
