It Just Doesn’t Add Up
We here at Dr. Tod Davis, Developmental Optometry & Vision Therapy Services understand that you have been relentlessly searching for answers. It would appear that you have nearly exhausted all resources and still you’ve found no solutions and no real answers.

You may have been assured – and reassured – that your child has nothing wrong with her eyes.And yet she complains of headaches, says she has difficulty seeing the board in class, has a short attention span with schoolwork, and seems to look at everything but the page in front of her when it comes time to read.

You've tried glasses.You may have tried A.D.H.D. medication. You've spent untold hours helping her to study, but the homework assignments drag out for interminably long sessions and usually end in a battle. Yet nothing works. You feel you're at the end of your rope.

The educational system may suggest that your child is a slow learner or a low achiever. But you know your child better than anyone and you’ve seen in different setting that she is not slow. She's bright, curious about life, and full of eagerness to learn. It just doesn't add up.

Perhaps It's Your Dilemma
Or perhaps these symptoms describe you. It may be your own personal dilemma you're struggling with. You find you have difficulty seeing a presentation during a meeting at work. Or you’re reading and the words seem to swim or float before your eyes. It's a struggle to concentrate as you read. Even though you’ve been assured that your vision is fine, you still have repeatedly tried different types of reading glasses. Nothing works. The frustrating symptoms never go away.

Why We are Here!
This is why we at Dr. Tod Davis, Developmental Optometry & Vision Therapy Services are here. We recognize that while many of these symptoms appear to be related to A.D.D., poor behavior, or learning problems, in actuality a vision problem is the culprit.

It is not a vision problem in the common sense of the term as we usually think of it (i.e. near sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism), but it is a vision problem nonetheless.

You may very well have reached the end of your relentless search. Dr. Tod Davis, Developmental Optometry & Vision Therapy Services provides hope for children and adults by providing the answers and solutions to all of the difficulties and symptoms related to a vision disorder.

A Closer Look at Symptoms
Look over this list – does any of the following sound familiar to you?

  • A student unable to stay with a homework assignment more than fifteen minutes at a time
  • Parents at their wits’ end because twenty-minute homework assignments take two hours (or longer) amidst many tears and much agony – homework time becomes a battleground
  • A child who labels himself as “dumb,” “stupid,” “a retard,” and other such putdowns
  • A young person who is bright and perceptive and highly conversational, and yet cannot conquer any area that requires reading or close work such as art and drawing
  • A educational system that labels an otherwise bright child as a "non-reader" or a "low-achiever"
