It Could Be Your Eyes
Are you a parent who has been searching for answers to why your child is struggling academically? Have you been told that your child needs strabismus surgery or patching, and it just doesn’t feel right to you? Are you trying to set your kiddo with sensory needs up for success and feeling lost in the process? Have you suffered a brain injury or concussion and refuse to accept that these current limitations are your permanent “new normal”? My name is Dr. Juanita Collier and I am a Behavioral Optometrist with a private practice specializing in Vision Therapy, Rehabilitation, and Development. Through diving deep with my team, parents, patients, and professionals, we will uncover that vision may be the underlying cause of real life challenges in academics, work, sports, and daily life. While we often think 20/20 eyesight is perfect vision, vision actually takes place in the brain. And if there is any disconnect, any slight lack of coordination between the brain and the eyes, how you see what’s in front of you can be remarkably different than what’s actually there. Through this podcast, you will discover, that the challenges that you are facing may actually be stemming from a difficulty with how you’re seeing…It Could Be Your Eyes.
It Could Be Your Eyes
Celebrating What's Possible Through Vision Therapy
Is your child struggling with reading, focus, or coordination? Have you or a loved one been told to "just get used to it" after a brain injury or developmental challenge? This episode is filled with hope, as Jessica and Dr. Juanita Collier share powerful success stories from 2024—showing what’s possible through vision therapy.
From kids conquering reading struggles to adults reclaiming independence after concussions and strokes, you’ll hear real-life transformations, including:
- Eli, who joined a travel baseball team with improved coordination and confidence.
- Sophia, whose grandfather proudly shares photos showing her eye alignment progress.
- Amadeo, who overcame driving anxiety through the 4D Built to Drive program.
- Marco, a young boy who now shows off his "magic trick" by controlling his eye movements with newfound confidence.
- Noah, who achieved his dream of going to flight school despite being told he would never have depth perception.
These stories demonstrate how vision therapy can transform lives—not just for the individuals but for their entire families and communities. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or someone exploring solutions for visual challenges, this episode offers inspiration and a gentle nudge to take action.
If you’re ready to turn “I hope” into “I did,” listen now and see how vision therapy could make a difference in your life or the life of someone you love.
