Changing lives through vision therapy

Miami Vision Therapy is proud to provide office-based vision therapy to both children and adults in our South Florida community. We treat patients with vision issues from amblyopia, binocular vision disorders, diplopia, post traumatic brain injury, and more

Our services include: vision therapy evaluation, personalized 1-on-1 vision therapy sessions.

We are exclusively a vision therapy practice.  We do not have an optical, and we work with our referring eyecare providers for the patients’ primary eye care needs.

Dr. Chow holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from St. John’s University and a Doctorate of Optometry from SUNY College of Optometry in New York.

Dr. Chow is recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO) and a Fellow of the College of Vision Development (FCOVD).

OUR THERAPISTS

Just as physical therapists might use treadmills or weights, a vision therapist might utilize prisms, eye patches, filtered lenses, and computerized systems to conduct therapy sessions and train visual skills. Our therapists will work one-on-one with you, building bonds and building skills, to overcome any obstacle in the way for functional vision.
