Dr. Brecheen and his staff are wonderful! If your child is having difficulty reading, go get an exam!!!! Vision is very complicated and detailed and such an important part of how we learn. Him and his staff are wonderful. They are very patient and thorough with my daughter and with me with all my questions. I could not recommend them more!!
Excellent Doctor who is very knowledgeable!
Words cannot fully express how grateful we are to Dr. B and his amazing team of therapists for their work with our daughter over the past 6 months. Our daughter was mistakenly diagnosed with Alternating Intermittent Exotropia by our eye doctor last year, and we were given glasses to try to force her eyes into single focus. Surgery was presented as an ultimate solution - the intent to shorten one optic nerve to make her eyes align. After researching this and hearing how unsuccessful surgery is for Exotropia, I stumbled on vision therapy and then happened to hear an acquaintance mention Dr. Brecheen. After talking to Vicky in the office and then to Dr. B himself on the phone, we scheduled an appointment for a second opinion. Dr. Brecheen spent nearly 3 hours with us that first day, carefully testing extensively and then going over everything with me and answering my many questions. I learned that my daughter had been seeing everything double within a 5ft radius, but she didn't realize it because her brain had been compensating and trying to shut off her left eye. Suddenly SO MUCH was explained that we couldn't previously understand with our daughter. Dr. B diagnosed her with Convergence Insufficiency and told us he believed vision therapy could cure her vision issue, ending her double vision and opening up a whole new world for her. He said he thought she would take off like a rocket with her schoolwork once her vision issue was cleared up. This is exactly what happened. Our daughter just graduated from vision therapy a few weeks ago and is now seeing single vision and her visual tracking and processing has completely changed. Her reading comprehension and her writing speed vastly improved, as did her overall confidence and joy! She loves reading and never complains of fatigue anymore when reading or doing close work. Before she was often frustrated but couldn't explain why, especially when it came to learning new things. Now we know it was all because her brain was working so hard to make sense of her two visual fields that were not working together. Just incredible that she went 8 years of her life and we never knew... Dr. B and the therapists are so great with all the kids, the entire experience was amazing. Can't recommend them highly enough to anyone considering vision therapy! Our daughter just got her STAAR test results today for the end of the year testing and we were blown away - she achieved a near perfect score. We know this would NEVER have been possible if it were not for Dr. B and all that our daughter accomplished in vision therapy. Her life has been forever changed. We drove from Fort Worth to Lewisville twice a week for 6 months and it was totally worth it. Brecheen Learning and Vision Center gets 5 million stars in our book!!
