The Vision and Learning Center truly changed my life. Over the past few years, I started to experience stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and fatigue doing normal tasks like driving, walking around in a store, or being in a crowded room. I used to do these tasks with ease, and it started to feel so difficult. For years, I thought it was just anxiety and started to stay home more often. I was avoiding doing fun things with my friends and family because it was so stressful and tiring for me. My symptoms progressively got worse, and I started to experience eye strain every day. I was constantly stressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed. I just thought I was crazy. I decided to call the Vision and Learning Center to see if they could help with my symptoms. I immediately knew I made the right choice because they listened to me and validated what I was experiencing. After running thorough tests to get a better idea of what was happening with my vision, I was diagnosed with Convergence Excess.
I finally had a reason behind the debilitating symptoms I had been experiencing for years. I started going to weekly vision therapy appointments and worked closely with Betsy, Amanda, and Dr. Malikkal. I can’t say enough good things about these three women. They are welcoming, kind, supportive, organized, and so knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed working with Betsy and Amanda each week. They guided me through every exercise, answered all my questions, and made me feel so supported throughout the entire process. Dr. Malikkal was incredibly diligent with my evaluations and kept meticulous records to track my progress.
I started to notice real results fairly quickly in my vision therapy journey. After 6 months of therapy, I have officially graduated, and I feel like myself again for the first time in years. I am driving with ease. I once again can enjoy being in stores and busy environments. I feel immense happiness, relief, and gratitude. I have gotten my life back because of the Vision and Learning Center. If you are experiencing visual issues, I highly recommend giving the Vision and Learning Center a call. It will be the best decision you ever made.
