Success With Vision Therapy

We are absolutely amazed at his progress reading and writing. It was tough at times when Gabriel wanted to quit but we kept on encouraging him to go on. The last 4 weeks were the hardest with trying to keep him going. Now he’s happy and thankful that he finished it. Couldn’t be more proud of him. Flipper reading was the hardest and took the longest. Animal walk was the easiest. The most fun was the lave game. Thanks, Jason for all your time and patience you had with Gabriel.

Before vision therapy my son, Dylan was having problems with spelling, copying from the board, reading, writing, and printing. We have seen improvement in all of these areas. Dylan is less frustrated with school work and is better able to focus at school. Thank you!

Before vision therapy, my son would get distracted really easily and read backward! He would get really tired in school and strain his eyes.

After 30 weeks of vision therapy, his reading has improved greatly and he has learned to focus on his own, without being told to do his work.

Yes, it was a struggle doing his therapy every day, but in the end, it was worth the struggle!

Thank you for all that you’ve done.

Before vision therapy, my daughter was having problems with reading, writing, math, lining things in rows/columns, and depth perception.

Brandy has improved her depth perception, her reading has improved, and her school has also improved. Brandy has improved her barrels by 10 seconds due to improved depth perception.

I recommend anyone with vision to come. It costs money, but the results are well worth it!

Before vision therapy my son was having problems with spelling, hockey drills, following things visually, seeing out of peripheral vision in hockey, copying motor actions, mixing up bow direction when playing cello, catching and coordination, and getting lost on a page while reading a book. I came to vision therapy as I wondered if he could have dyslexia.

Not long after (starting vision therapy) my son, husband, and I noticed a huge improvement in his coordination ability to catch and play sports. As a result, he was more confident and felt better about himself. He commented that his peripheral vision was better in hockey which helped him. He shared he no longer gets lost on a page when reading a book.

He did excellent in school, and had great feedback from his teacher. He had a formal assessment for dyslexia, and it was found he doesn’t have it. Vision therapy resolved all his issues. He is happy and confident.

Before coming, I had problems like seeing double and getting headaches.  When I read, I had to cover my eyes to be able to get the words into focus. Through months of doing these eye exercises every day, I don’t see double or get headaches anymore.

Vision therapy has helped me read and do other things I love to do without getting headaches or losing focus.

Thank you so much, I have really improved.

Before Vision Therapy: Reading, focusing, pain, driving, and very hyper.

Now I am pain-free and able to read and comprehend much better. I am able to drive and ore focused.

Before vision therapy, my dad couldn’t function well. The mild stroke badly affected his eyes, especially his right eye. He had lazy eyes and double vision which made it difficult for him to walk straight without going off balance, go to the washroom, eat by himself, and do things that he normally does. The ER doctor who treated him at the hospital couldn’t tell us if my dad’s eyes will ever go back to normal and we almost lost hope. Good thing my brother found Grand Developmental Vision Institute. Based on the doctor’s initial assessment, my dad would need at least 40 therapy sessions. We followed the doctor’s recommendation and did most of the homework that the doctor and the therapist gave us. The treatment and the exercises that were given to my dad slowly helped him do things on his own. In just five months, we noticed a major improvement when his lazy eyes went back to normal, and the double vision was corrected. We were so amazed by my dad’s improved condition in a short period of time. Dr. Anderson and Ms. Beth were so nice and accommodating and very friendly and that made my dad feel comfortable and at ease during the therapy sessions despite the language barrier. My Dad had an enjoyable experience every time he went to the clinic. My family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Anderson and his team, most especially Ms. Beth for everything that she has done to help my dad recover fast and thank you for treating my dad like family. We really appreciate it, and we will never forget this experience. Thanks again and God bless!!

Before vision therapy, I was having problems with headaches, blurry vision and trouble with reading. I also had one weaker eye. After vision therapy, my weaker eye has become closer in strength with my other eye and all of my other problems are gone. I am happy with my results and Victoria helped me a lot! Thank you!

I have been taking my daughter to our family eye doctor for years and I was told that she had a weak left eye. Last August she saw a different eye doctor, as our doctor was on holidays. We were told that her left eye was not good and that it should have been corrected years ago. We were also told that it was probably too late now, but we could try patching and see if it might help. I decided to do some research on my own and that is when I learned of GRAND. Everyone there was so kind! A BIG thank you to Victoria for all your efforts! Misty no longer has a lazy eye! You are amazing!

I have been taking my son to our family eye doctor for years. Every year I was told that he had a weak left eye and that he could wear glasses, but didn’t need to, as not wearing them wouldn’t make it worse. Last August he saw a different eye doctor. We were told the horrible news that his left eye was bad and that it should have been corrected years ago. We were also told that it was too late now and that there was no hope! I shed many tears! I decided to do some research on my own and that is when I learned of GRAND. I called and cried out my story of no hope to Lindsay. She was so kind and assured me that they could help. And now, a BIG thanks to Dawn for all your hard work! His Grade Level Efficiency in reading has gone from a grade 4 level to grade 11! You are awesome!

Layne’s left eye was turning out which brought us to GRAND. We found out after our first appointment that he also could not see in 3D and had little peripheral vision. We started our weekly vision therapy appointments with Victoria and noticed an improvement almost immediately with Layne’s reading. It was completely worth the hard work! Victoria is very patient and encouraging to work with and tries to make each visit fun and interesting. Layne’s eye turn is now completely gone and he is now able to see in 3D!

I’ve notice huge improvement with Ava’s reading even though she is still reading below her grade level. She has worked very hard this past winter and I am very impressed with the progress made. Also, she likes to show us how she can cross her eyes now.

I’ve found that vision therapy has made a big change in my daughter. She is more organized and calm. Her teacher has commented on how far she has come since she has been taking therapy.

Helped my issues with motion sickness while riding the bus. Can now ride the bus without fear of getting sick.

We noticed a positive change in Aidan’s ability to clear text that he reads. The words no longer split apart or “move around” as he described it. Thanks for your patience in working with Aidan. We are so happy for him.

Dawn was excellent to work with. A lot of work, but worth putting effort in and giving it a chance to work. Great learning experience.

Be patient with the process, be consistent, change will not happen overnight but when it does occur the results will be astonishing. Staff was great, I am extremely happy with everything. I only wish I could have done this sooner.

At the beginning, Quentin struggled with his reading and was only reading at a grade 1 level. He has improved so much that he is now at a grade 3 level. He also does not mind reading, whereas before, he hated to read. The improvement has been amazing in his reading. He has improved all around but the reading is the most improved. Thank you.

I am very pleased with the results of the vision therapy I had. There is a definite decrease in the headaches I have had and I find that my eyes are less sensitive and not straining as much with focusing. My eyes seem to adjust better and quicker to different situations.

Hi there I just wanted to tell you about Zac’s progress because I am just so impressed. When we started in December he was unable to even read his simple sight words like le, de, un etc. But it is only April and he has already progressed to reading at a level! Just a few weeks ago he was at a 3 he is progressing so quickly. His resource teacher told me a few weeks ago he has progressed about 3 times faster that other kids she is helping in his grade. I am just very grateful that we discovered this therapy or he would have been carded as a special needs student for this and it clearly isn’t the case he is brilliant in all other areas of school. So just thank you so very much I feel very blessed to have your expertise in our lives.

I have double vision before therapy, I need to put a cloth over my other eye to prevent double vision from affecting me. Eventually, my eye doctor recommended me to go to Grand Development Vision Institute to get therapy. At first, it was tough adjusting to the activities. Eventually, I was able to get used to it and lower the frequency of my double vision. Please get therapy for your eyes whenever you can because seeing better is just amazing. Thank you!

I was having problems in reading, watching television and stability in walking. My improvement in the aforementioned areas has been quite remarkable. The very professional staff was highly efficient and greatly appreciated. I would certainly recommend Vision Therapy to anyone experiencing difficulties in this regard. I would like to thank all for their caring and kindness.

Before therapy, Ara’s left eye would always turn outwards. Her eyes were not in sync. She had other issues that we were not aware of like her lack of 3D vision or depth perception. She had difficulty focusing and looking at far away objects or reading from afar. These issues and some others were known after her first consultation I assessment with Dr. Anderson, at first we were mostly concerned about her left eye wandering out little that we knew that there were few more things going on that we were not aware of and so we decided to enroll Ara to the Vision Therapy. After over a year of since her first visit to GRAND, Ara has improved greatly on her ability to control her eyes. She is now able to focus and read without or with less difficulty. She has developed skills she will need in the future.

Fiona was having problems with letter recognition, writing, copying and reading. At home, we noticed she couldn’t seem to find things that were right in front of her and we found her to be accident prone. When we found out through her vision assessment how her eyes were working, we were shocked. Without hesitation we started vision therapy. At first, the work seemed to show us how far Fiona had to go. She thought the ‘work’ was fun, but did get frustrated easily. Once she started to notice a difference in the way she saw things, she was more willing to push through. A year later her eyes are working as they should! Although she is still a little behind in school she loves to read and quickly catching up to her peers. Every time I see her pick up a book or even just study something in her surroundings, I am thankful to Dr. Anderson and his team for giving my daughter the gift of vision… something too many of us take for granted. Thank you!!!

When vision therapy was recommended for our daughter, Leah, we were nervous about what this would entail for a young busy family living outside of Winnipeg. Fast forward 1.5 years and we can confidently say committing to Grand Vision’s program was the best decision we could’ve made for her. Leah’s gains were noticeable within the first several weeks. Our therapist, Beth Ann, provided fun and engaging activities; Dr Anna continued to provide boosts of confidence for Leah through regular check ups; and the staff at Grand Vision always made us feel welcome even when having to reschedule due to travel conditions. Now our daughter has more confidence in speaking with others and willingly takes photographs. She takes pride in the hard work she has done to complete her therapy program. We will forever be grateful for the support we received and the success our daughter has achieved throughout her time working with Grand Vision.
