Our Why
"When I was in grade 3, I started having trouble reading. The words would swim on the page, I’d lose my place and skip lines. My eyes and head would ache and I felt nauseous. I figured that this was normal and how reading was for everyone, I didn’t know why I was so much slower than everyone else and why it was so hard for me to understand what I read.
​
I did everything possible to avoid reading.
​
Coping strategies became my only way of getting through. It wasn’t until I was in university, when it would take me up to 10 hours to get through a chapter in my textbook, that I discovered this was a vision problem. My vision would blur in and out, and go double even though I had 20/20 vision.
​
I have also had my own experience later in life with head injury and concussion. I know all too well what it feels like to suffer from light and sound sensitivity, while being too dizzy and nauseous to walk or drive. I know what it was like when this didn’t get better after several months, along with other symptoms of Post Trauma Vision Syndrome like not being able to tolerate seeing things like traffic moving around me, or watch TV.
​
I did everything possible to avoid busy environments.
​
Through the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, I discovered Optometric Vision Therapy. The most valuable thing I have learned is that there is a way to uncover higher potential, and that is why I do this.”
