October is School Vision Health Month!!
We are pleased to announce that the New York State Assembly and New York State Senate passed resolutions proclaiming October 2017 as School Vision Health Month.

Below is information regarding School Health Vision Month from the NYS Department of Education:

Research shows that one in four school-age children has a vision disorder, which impacts his or her ability to properly learn. “In recognition of School Vision Health Month, we are so pleased to partner with licensed optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians and VSP to bring comprehensive eye exams and glasses to children in these school districts,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “Once our students have access to proper vision care, their learning environment is greatly improved and they can truly realize their full potential.

“Not being able to see the letters on a page can hinder students’ ability to learn,” said State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “For some families in New York, eye exams and corrective eyewear is simply unaffordable. That is why we worked with the State Assembly and Senate to highlight this critical issue. We thank VSP and the licensed eye care professionals who donated resources and time to make these free exams possible.”

An Amazing Mom Shares Her Son's Vision Therapy Success Story!
Bronson Is One Of Our Vision Therapy All-Stars!
Bronson put a great deal of energy and time into his Vision Therapy and he achieved many successes from his hard work! After his program, homework now doesn’t take hours, and he is more self assured in both school and sports. Reading has gotten so much easier that he even enjoys reading for pleasure (not just because he has to). Great job, Bronson! We hope the changes you worked so hard for make this a fantastic school year!
 We are so proud of Bronson!
