Testimonials

I’ve improved greatly with balance, sight and calmness in my central nervous system. I’m able to walk while looking up, read a book without a paper with a small window to read line by line, and my length on the computer is longer. I’ve developed more confidence with driving and the moving traffic around me. The staff here are very professional and compassionate. I’ve very satisfied and happy with my help and rehab.

Wow! Where to I start? When I arrived, I couldn’t tolerate anything being brought in toward my face. Nor could I move my eyes fully in a circle or use my peripheral vision. After my sessions with Rhonda, who provided amazing support and encouragement, I can now move from far to close vision very smoothly. I had no idea how bad my vision was until I got it back! I can now ski again and will ride my bike with my kids for the first time in a long time this summer. Thank you!! I’m also so glad to now be able to read and use the computer without getting a headache.

I’m noticing less blurriness and it is easier making adjustments when looking far away. Reading tolerance has improved from nothing, to 15-20 minutes. I feel that I can take more stress on my eyes – with less jumping and blurring – especially when rested on good days. So far, I am very pleased with this therapy.

I am able to read books now without a piece of paper with a long rectangle blocking out the page. I am now starting to find calmness with my vision. I can now turn and rotate without feeling dizzy and able to tolerate sunlight without sunglasses now. We are still working on some visual issues and I’m very much hoping to continue.

Vision Therapy has been so beneficial with my healing journey. Before the program, my eyes were not focusing together and now they are! I had lost the ability to concentrate and retain information that I was reading, which I am now able to do. I am only 7 weeks into therapy and am extremely happy with my progress. The homework is the key to my progress, as my job is computer work for 8-9 hours per day. I have more to go but am confident I will succeed. Without this therapy, I would not be where I am today.

I have much clearer vision now, no blurry vision anymore. Headaches have decreased significantly. My balance feels much better as my eyes can now focus comfortably on different points. My memory is also much sharper and I’m not getting nearly as much nausea. I’m now able to shift my eyes to different objects faster and comprehend without losing attention. Conversations also seem smoother, words are easier to find and l don’t lose my thoughts before speaking the way I used to. No recommendations for improving your program. I’m very grateful for the knowledge and encouragement I have received.

I no longer feel the vibrating in my eyes with shaky vision that I started to feel after the mva. I still wear the glasses when needed and find that they are still quite helpful. I’ve noticed that the exercises are progressively getting easier to do and don’t cause strain. I’m also no longer getting near the same number of headaches.

Before Vision Therapy, I could only go on the computer for 5-10 mins before I got a headache and couldn’t scroll on my phone without getting dizzy. I am no longer getting dizzy and can now use the computer for 30+ minutes without a severe headache. I was not able to read for more than 5-10 minutes before, and now can read for an hour+. I used to see phantom motion from my left eye that would make me flitch, but do not notice that at all now. I was also very sensitive to bright lights when beginning but am now much less so.

I feel like I’ve improved in my ability to focus, converge/diverge and to do those things for much longer periods of time without getting tired

At the beginning of Vision Therapy, I was experiencing really bad headaches when reading or doing screen time (computer, phone, TV), along with nausea. I no longer experience the headaches and nausea. I am able to drive, even when it’s snowing now without the onset of symptoms. I feel like I have my life back! I can even read a book now, which is something I love to do. I am now able to do screen time – watch a movie and shows on TV. I am just so impressed at how well this worked, as I was pretty skeptical at the beginning. It was difficult at first pushing through with symptoms surfacing, but as the weekly sessions progressed, so did I and my symptoms subsided. I am so thankful for this as I never thought I would be “normal” again!

I’ve noticed I am more aware of objects in my periphery and find it much easier to relax my eyes and track objects. I can also tolerate reading for longer periods of time than before.

Now my eyes don’t jump around and between lines and I’m better at tracking down lines when needed. I’m also much better at moving down through a page while reading without losing my spot. Most important though, I have no more headaches!

I feel that that staff here and the program was wonderful. I would highly recommend Vision Therapy and this team to anyone.

I’ve noticed a huge difference in my ability to converge and diverge my eyes. This has allowed me to feel more confident while driving and I can drive faster and in more challenging terrain than before. My world also seems “more 3-D,” rather than flat. I’m also not feeling “fuzzy eyed” in the morning anymore.

Driving longer distances is becoming a lot easier for me now and I’m not ending up with a major migraine after doing so. I am starting to be able to read novels again and am now able to watch a movie at the theatre again.

My new glasses are magic! They changed all from seeing double to seeing “normal”. The readers make it possible to read again – thank you! The therapy is fantastic and makes you aware how lucky we are, that all this work and help is there for us to get. I feel that you look different at the world and you see things again that were lost after the accident. The vision therapy and the homework is very hard work but is so worth it. It is really unbelievable what can and does get accomplished!

My vision has improved significantly. I find driving to be easier and I now feel I can see a panoramic view of what is in front of me now. I am able to be outside in the sun without my eyes and nervous system acting up. My face and eyes finally feel relaxed! It is just amazing to see my vision improving.

I’m now much better at keeping both of my eyes on targets without seeing double. I can keep items and words clear and see things much more easily without constantly having to adjust. I’m now able to do computer work for both pleasure and work and have been enabled to get back to full time at my job. You all did such a great job working with me, not aware of any areas for improvement

I can concentrate and study longer without headaches – and in general I am having much less frequent headaches. The vision exercises have become easier and are significantly less difficult and exhausting. I feel more like myself again, school grades are improving and my mental function feels better! No strain/fatigue when reading on paper, and only slightly straining when done on computer/phone. The glasses with the blue filter help a ton and I almost always use them when doing computer work.

Thanks to Vision Therapy, I feel my eyes are now working together which has really reduced my frustration. This has been a most enlightening experience. Thank you for all of your help and guidance

Vision Therapy was paramount in my recovery from numerous concussions over a number of years. The therapy was instrumental in helping me to regain quality of life by addressing my post trauma vision syndrome. I was an online patient so it was important that I trust the process and do the work daily. You must be willing to commit to therapy 100% to get the results you’re looking for. Dr. Rollett and his team are amazing to work with and they do an excellent job of keeping you motivated and on track. I found the whole process to be interesting and challenging but overall extremely rewarding as I now have my vision back! I am thankful that my doctor recommended that I begin vision therapy early in my recovery as it was essential in helping to turn my life around. The results have completely exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for everything that Okanagan Vision therapy has done for me and results that they helped me to achieve!

I’m now seeing much more of the road while driving and using all 3 mirrors comfortably. My eyes feel less strained, eye movements feel a lot smoother and tracking is a lot easier. I can now comfortably wear my glasses, vision feel much less effortful and I am processing things much quicker

I work as a creative media specialist and so my vision is critical for the success of my work. Prior to starting Vision Therapy, I was having daily headaches and great difficulty with my balance and depth of field. As an experienced rock climber, this was also a very serious issue. Since working with Paul and Loreta, the changes in my situation have been incredible. The headaches are infrequent, my eyes are working together and my balance has finally returned! The changes in my vision not only have improved my ability to work, but my entire life in general.

I can now concentrate and study longer without headaches. In general, I have much less frequent headaches. Vision exercises became easier as time went on and are significantly less difficult and exhausting now. I feel more like myself, school grades are improving and mental function feels better! No strain/fatigue when reading on paper, and the glasses with the filter cutting blue light help a ton when on my computer or phone.

My eyes improved much more than I thought they would to be honest. I am noticing that my eyes are working on their own without the constant effort it used to require. I feel that much of the improvement is due to consistently following through with regular at home practice. I am now wearing much lower prism in my glasses and this reduction has occurred after only a few months.

I feel my confidence is significantly improved. Reading out loud or in front of others no longer gives me anxiety. The words are clear and the lines no longer float, double or move on the page! My headaches are down to a minimum which I was previously experiencing daily. Driving at night is less stressful and my depth perception is much better. I have very much enjoyed Vision Therapy. It is informative and challenging and seeing results has only made me want to keep improving. I will sincerely miss my sessions and all of you.

Vision Therapy has really helped me focus on general life and not have to deal with vision problems. In the beginning, it was very difficult for me to see for extended periods of time without straining myself and triggering unpleasant things. Seeing comfortably has now just become second nature again.

I have definitely seen improvements in the length of time that I can read. I was only able to read for 5-10 minutes at a time and now am up to an hour and can actually remember what I read! It has really helped because I’m now able to get through books, which is something I enjoy. I have also been very impressed with the staff at this office and the sincere concern when dealing with my symptoms.

I now no longer have headaches and have much improved concentration. My reading has improved immensely and I can now actually remember the story line. My memory overall has really improved and my skills on the computer have as well. Keep up the great work. You offer good follow-up and communication throughout the process and your therapists are great!

I can read for a much longer period of time (up to 2 hours now). I can use a computer without pain for a much longer period of time. I can now be in a grocery/other store for up to 15 minutes without with little to no pain (a huge gain for me). I can go out of the house for a few hours without being completely exhausted. I can also tolerate more interaction with people, noise and light. Your program is great – I just wish more GP’s, insurance companies and the general public knew about this service!

“Vision Therapy has been extremely helpful for allowing me to work for much longer periods of time (now up to 8 hours). My ability to read without symptoms flaring up has greatly improved and my ability to hold words in place (when reading or on the computer) has improved so much as well. I feel that my eyes are now working significantly better together – words are clearer in general and I almost never see double anymore. All of the movement that I was seeing on the page before is now gone.”

I’ve seen major improvements in my eye’s ability to focus and team together and have learned how to make them work properly when they just wouldn’t before. Thanks so much Dr. Rollett and Loreta!

When I began this program I was really struggling with not being able to concentrate while doing just about anything. Now, I am able to focus my eyes without feeling pulling or feeling any tension. I don’t feel any pain in class anymore either. I am very thankful to everyone here for helping me so much with my eyes. Everything about your service was perfect to me and went very smoothly. Thank you!

The biggest change I’ve noticed is that my headaches have practically disappeared! I rarely see double anymore and the odd time I do, I can easily correct it. Thanks for everything!

Vision Therapy has been helpful for improving my balance and for getting me to start feeling like I’m using my two eyes together again. My visual focus still occasionally blurs in and out, but not nearly as much as when I started.

My reading and balance have greatly improved as a result of Vision Therapy. I am finally able to drive once again! More doctors truly need to be made aware of this program.

While I do still intermittently experiences moments of double vision, I feel that I now have much greater control of my eyes. The constant frontal headaches and discomfort have reduced greatly. I used to have issues with shoulder checking in a vehicle and transitioning from looking far to my dash, but this is no longer a problem for me.

I have seen a difference in the fatigue I feel in my eyes and the extent that my symptoms come on has improved too. On a personal note, having the feedback and knowledge from Dr. Rollett has been very beneficial to me throughout this therapy for peace of mind in my recovery. Very helpful so far – thank you!

Since beginning Vision Therapy I have been able to tolerate reading and computer tasks for the first time. It has helped me gain control of my drifting right eye and both eyes now seem to be tracking well together.
