Dr. O, Jackie, Elsa, Becky and Jane... you have no idea how much your expertise, encouragement and help is appreciated. I can remember crying at the first appointment feeling like I didnt know how to help my son. Teachers said he was smart but there was some disconnect between his ability to read/see things and his brain. He was often caught staring out the window. Visually disengaged from the computer or whiteboard. He was extremely nervous to read out loud as a 4th grader. Vision therapy has changed EVERYTHING! He reads books just to read, I never thought I would say this. He now also feels

In Depth Vision really helped with the myriad of issues I walked through the door with, 7 months ago; some stemming from my teen years (I'm 48 now), and others, the result from hitting my head in Feb. '21. As a patient, it's of great importance to do the work every single day in order to accomplish the goals set forth by Dr. Odineal and her staff. It takes dedication and a strong willingness to want to improve, to get better. Months later, I graduated and walked out the door a much different person than the one who walked in. Thank you to Dr. Odineal and her lovely staff for the many months of

I just completed vision therapy at In Depth Vision. It has been tremendously helpful in getting my vision back to normal. Dr. Odineal has my trust. She is incredibly experienced and skilled in her field. The visual system is extremely complex and it was very reassuring to have a knowledgeable doctor monitor my progress and help me improve. Considering how important my eyes are for my work and my day-to-day activities, I would have gladly paid 3-5x more for her treatment. Thanks Doctor for giving me my former life back!

I came to Dr. O's office on the recommendation from my boss. I had been experiencing double vision and my left eye would sort of skitter around / not be able to focus, especially when I was tired/stressed. This became so bad that simple tasks like driving and grocery shopping were tiresome and depressing. I decided I had not much to lose and enrolled in the 5 month program; I just graduated last week and my vision has improved beyond belief. Dr. O reviewed the testing numbers with me from before I started and now and every category showed a huge improvement. I am so thankful this place

Dr. Odineal was able to increase my vision efficiency from 20% to 80%. Before therapy I had limited peripheral vision and rarely used both eyes at the same time. The office has an impressive array of advanced equipment and offers a large selection of tools and exercises that deliver results. The staff is very friendly and professional. I would recommend that anyone take the initial vision assessment, even if they feel they don't have any serious issues.

We are happy with our experience with In Depth Vision Optometry. The assessments were done with a complete review of symptoms, and specialized equipment to help with the diagnosis of the reading problem. Before the assessment, we were wondering if it was a learning/reading disorder issue, or an eye convergence issue , and the assessments answered that. The staff listened and helped us with treatment issues as they came up. They have COVID protocols for safety. I was amazed when my daughter told me she just finished reading an 800 page book.

The staff is loving and kind, my daughter and I feel at home when we enter the building. You can tell that everyone at In Depth Vision is passionate about what they do, and they genuinely care about those that they are helping. My daughter was recommended to In Depth Vision due to having some head trauma that caused her to not see well, lose balance and delayed her reading and comprehension; she also had regular headaches. Eight months of vision therapy with Dr. O, and my kiddo is now confident in reading, is able to maintain balance, no longer wear bifocals, and is no longer suffering from headaches
