O'brien Vision Therapy Testimonial

Dear Dr. JanetM.lWilamowski, As you are aware/ my son had Strabismus or "lazy eye." At age five (5) he had an operationto corrbct it, WhileattendingKindergarten,he was diagnosedwith a condition describedas "receptivelanguageproblem," While attendinga specialschool,I noticedthat he could read the words on a flash card or work ring but not on the printed page. So I asked a doctor and friendsif Strabismusaffects reading.The specialschoolwasconsultedbut couldnot provideassistance. By chance,I found a websitewith an article by Dr. DonaldGetz. I thought I was readingan article about my son'sdifficulties.The article went on to describethe differencebetweensight and vision. Eyesight is the ability to see clearly. Vision involves the brain and the interpretation of data brought in through eyes and sent to the brain for interpretation.

Dr. Donald Getz went on to indicate that not all eye doctors examine these

functions, which are so critical for the school-agedchild and learning,This website fortunately directedme to you, Dr. JanetM. Wilamowski, O.D. -Telephone#610-783-1331.
