What to Expect

Evaluation
Before starting an individualized treatment plan, you or your child will meet with our doctor for a Functional Vision Evaluation. This comprehensive assessment will allow Dr. Nordwall to determine a medical diagnosis and identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. There will be no shots and no wrong answers. If you or your child has not had a recent dilated eye exam, please expect to have eye dilated. The evaluation will last about 90 minutes, after which a follow up consultation will be scheduled.

Consultation
After the Functional Vision Evaluation is complete, our doctor will prepare a comprehensive analysis and report to determine the best treatment approach for any problems that have been identified. During this consultation you will gain a better understanding of how the vision problem is impacting you or your child’s life. The first step is to see if glasses are able to help. Then optometric vision therapy, training, or rehabilitation may be considered. If treatment is recommended, the doctor will review an individualized plan which will outline the plan, goals, and expectations prior to starting treatment.

Treatment & Management
When therapy is needed, we schedule our patients for one or two, 40-minute, office-based therapy sessions per week. For patients with special needs or who are traveling a long distance, we can modify these sessions to accommodate your needs. During treatment, our team may assign home-support activities to help enhance the results. When our patients follow the prescribed treatment plan, their success rate will often exceed clinical standards.
