Jean Metzger, Chief Vision Thearpist
Jean Metzger started her career with children as a second grade teacher. She then raised two children and now grandmothers three (wonderful!) little ones. In 2000,she and Dr. Metzger attended a seminar series presented by the Baltimore Academy of Behavioral Optometry (now called the Optometric Extension Program) which rekindled her love of teaching and led to her position as chief vision therapist of the practice. Since then she has extended her education through the seminars of Dr. Robert Sanet, the former COVD president.
“We dearly want each child or adult to succeed in whatever they need to do,” says Jean. “We know that vision is much bigger than seeing and glasses. Vision is also processing what we see and directing our responses. The brain is so wonderfully teachable that we find many ‘problems' of learning and life improve or disappear because vision therapy writes new brain ‘software' so to speak. We sort of took the word ‘retirement' out of our dictionary after we started concentrating on vision therapy. This is too rewarding to retire.”
Caroline Metzger, Practice Manager
With a background in graphics, marketing, web development and entrepreneurship, Caroline asked her dad to open a specialty-focused office in Kansas City in 2004. After a year of planning, the office opened in 2005 and has slowly but steadily grown ever since. "With the amazing people we have encountered over the past four years, we are looking forward to expanding our services to out-lying parts of the metro area in 2010 and beyond." |
