Rehabilitating and Enhancing Your Visual World
Optometric Vision Training, sometimes called vision therapy, is that part of eye care devoted to developing, improving, and enhancing people's vision performance. Developing visual skills includes learning to use both eyes together effectively, and has proven to be a remarkably effective tool in helping people with learning related visual problems.
Vision Development Center is located at 150 East Main Street, Leola (in the lower level of the Leola Family Health Center). Dr. Seiderman works closely with a psychologist and 5 professional vision therapists to give each patient personalized, individual therapy.
