| Staff & Office We have over 2,000 square feet of space to accommodate your therapy needs. Our therapy room occupies almost half the office, allowing for multiple activities to take place at once. We also have private consultation rooms and a therapy room with a two-way window so patients may be observed during therapy without distraction. 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 her husband attended a seminar series presented by the Baltimore Academy of Behavioral Optometry which rekindled her love of teaching and led to her position as chief vision therapist of her husband’s practice. Since then she has extended her education through the seminars of Dr. Robert Sanet, 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 quit.” Kiran Worcester Vision Therapist Bio coming soon...

| “25% of students in grades K-6 have visual problems that are serious enough to impede learning.” American Public Health Association |
| “When vision problems go undetected, children almost invariably have trouble reading and doing their schoolwork. They often display fatigue, fidgeting, and frustrations in the classroom—traits that can lead to a misdiagnosis of dyslexia or other learning disabilities.” American Optometric Association |
