Abstract

This paper presents the development and the on-going mission of The Center for Advanced Vision Care, a Vision Therapy Center established within ODA (Opportunity Development Association) Primary Health Care Network. The Center is designed to remediate visual dysfunction with an emphasis on therapeutic lenses, prisms and vision therapy. A structured approach towards Vision Therapy will be introduced highlighting the way in which remediation of visual dysfunction can occur without regression. The Center for Advanced Vision Care was founded with the primary goal of improving vision care for the children of Williamsburg, NY and the surrounding areas. The providers at this Center utilize therapeutic lenses and prisms in conjunction with vision therapy in order to achieve remediation of visual dysfunction, without regression. This unique program provides an opportunity for children to attain a higher level of self-esteem, thereby enabling them to reach their fullest potential. Working alongside other professionals comprising ODA’s exceptional multidisciplinary therapy service, ODA’s Vision Center is redefining the standard for which pediatric behavioral vision care is rendered. A Vision Therapy program, as part of a distinct multidiscipline therapy center, will be presented as a unique facility utilizing therapeutic lenses and prisms, in conjunction with vision therapy, in a way that serves to remediate visual dysfunction, as part of an interdisciplinary approach.
