Your Trusted Behavioral Optometrist in Broomall, PA
At Steven Gallop OD Behavioral Optometry, we specialize in addressing complex visual challenges through personalized, patient-centered care. With over 30 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals of all ages overcome vision-related difficulties, from learning and developmental issues to post-concussion rehabilitation. My journey began at age eight when I first struggled with vision problems that traditional optometry failed to resolve. This personal experience led me to pursue behavioral optometry, a field that recognizes vision as a dynamic, learnable process rather than a fixed trait. Our practice focuses on comprehensive visual evaluations, therapeutic lenses, and customized vision therapy programs designed to improve comfort, performance, and overall quality of life.We treat conditions such as myopia, strabismus, amblyopia, and visual disturbances following brain injuries, emphasizing non-invasive solutions that reduce dependency on corrective lenses. Every patient receives one-on-one attention, as I personally conduct all evaluations and therapy sessions to ensure continuity and depth of care. Located in Broomall, Pennsylvania, we serve communities across Delaware County and beyond, offering a unique approach that integrates visual development with holistic well-being.

Vision Therapy
Our vision therapy programs address functional visual deficiencies through customized exercises. This non-invasive treatment improves eye coordination, focusing abilities, and visual processing skills for patients of all ages. We specialize in resolving issues affecting reading, learning, sports performance, and post-concussion recovery through structured, evidence-based interventions.
Developmental Optometry
We assess how patients utilize their visual system beyond basic eye health. This approach identifies developmental delays in visual processing that affect learning, motor skills, and cognitive functions. Treatment plans integrate therapeutic lenses and vision therapy to optimize visual development throughout life.

Our specialized programs target progressive myopia through controlled visual stress techniques. By implementing strategic lens prescriptions and vision therapy, we help patients reduce dependency on corrective lenses while improving overall visual efficiency and comfort.
Strabismus Treatment
We offer non-surgical alternatives for eye muscle imbalances using therapeutic lenses and vision therapy. Our approach focuses on developing binocular vision and improving eye coordination to address both cosmetic concerns and functional visual disturbances.
Post-Concussion Rehabilitation
Our practice specializes in restoring visual function following traumatic brain injuries. Through targeted vision therapy and specialized lenses, we address symptoms like double vision, headaches, and spatial disorientation to support overall neurological recovery.

Report
Exceptional experience - the new eyeglasses I have are the best I've ever had. I actually WANT to wear them! First time in decades! Having a script without the astigmatism correction in the lenses is really eye opening (pun intended)!
