Andrew Sherman O.D. P.C.

I was a patient at Dr. Sherman's practice for many years, beginning in middle school, continuing through high school, and returning for regular checkups well into my college years. I initially sought Vision Therapy to improve my performance in the classroom and learning environment. As I became more involved in sports, my training evolved to focus on enhancing eye-hand coordination. I was a lacrosse goalie for 15 years, earning All Division/County honors in high school and becoming a Division III National Champion in 2013. I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that this training was pivotal to my success in the net. Many other athletes -- including professionals and Olympic contenders -- were also patients of this practice. Vision therapy is a highly specialized area within optometry, but even a quick dive into the research will reveal that it far surpasses traditional practices in its ability to sharpen visual skills and improve performance. Like any skill in life, vision therapy delivers its greatest benefits when you commit to practicing the prescribed exercises consistently. The therapy sessions provide the tools and techniques, but it's the dedication to regular practice -- whether on the field, in the classroom, or at home -- that cements these improvements and allows them to truly transform your performance. Just as an athlete must train to stay at the top of their game, vision therapy requires discipline and repetition to maximize results. From personal experience, I can say that the investment in vision therapy was one of the most impactful decisions I've made, and the benefits extend far beyond sports -- improving focus, reaction time, and confidence in all areas of life.

Best medical decision I ever made to come here. The vision therapy I received since starting the end of spring has restored my eyesight and I couldn't be happier. At 45, I started having double vision. I've always worn contacts for being nearsighted with an astigmatism, and started needed reading glasses at 40. I kept telling my optometrist that things were just off for 2 years, especially at the movie theaters, or watching TV, driving, or a play.... and appeared to get worse, and had issues seeing 3D movies and pictures. I figured my prescription changing, but it never did change by much. My vision went undiagnosed properly by my optometrist for over a year, so I first went to an ophthalmologist at sight MD since they are a huge practice across the state. They ran me through an hour of various testing through every cutting-edge machine they had. After getting an MRI to rule out something bad, I was told, its extremely rare what happened to me, so they gave me prism glasses as the way to fix it. I used them for a year..no more contacts for me. A year later went back for follow up at sight MD again, who said it appears it's getting worse, only recourse is eye muscle SURGERY, which was frightening as there was only a 80% chance of success, and I could end up having to get repeat surgeries, or something bad could happen, it is surgery after all. After doing research, I came across vision therapy, that also claimed to have the same 80% success rate. I called back the opthamologist at Sight MD, asking them about vision therapy, which I felt was brushed off by them, they didn't know much about it, and certainly didn't push it as an option.. This place has millions of dollars of machinery, and thorough testing, with tons of patients walking in and out. Not a small operation by any means, yet they could only push surgery as the best , and main scenario for me or prism glasses as an option, and that option would soon fail over time. That's when I stumbled upon this office. I came in feeling a bit defeated, thinking I would need prism glasses for life with the highest power, yet optimistic and hopeful that this would work. The doctors are a father and son team who assured me that I didn't need surgery because I had full control of my eyes, that its a brain issue that was causing my eyes to cross, but no one knows why it happens. Their office is an unassuming house you would just drive by. Its filled with older machinery and tools, a big difference than the super high tech sight MD offices. Naturally, I thought, they may not be equipped when comparing the 2 offices. BOY WAS I WRONG. They had me do different exercises at the office once a week, which I also practiced at home every day. It was difficult and frustrating the first couple of weeks because my eyes just wanted to cross and see double without my prism glasses on. I kept thinking this is not going to work, but it's a process and takes time to retrain your brain. The doctors echoed that. I stuck with it every day, and every week going back to their offices, each time with enhanced exercises that were getting easier as time went on. Then one night I decided to go outside, and I could see... clearly - clearer than I have in over a year. I just looked all around my neighborhood and was tearing up because it felt like such a relief, like a huge weight was lifted. Even after going inside, I could see everything clearly. No eye crossing. That was about 2 months ago, and while not 100% perfect, I can confidently say that my vision is much better. I feel like I have my independence back. I'm thankful that I came across this office. Vision therapy is simple daily techniques that will retrain your brain and eyes to work together properly I do significant work on the computer, and always looking at my phone continuously through the day. Usually I sit in an office, which, the doctors, and others I have researched feel could be a strong reason why this problem has been more prodemoniant in recent years. Best decision I ever had was to come here.

Dr. Sherman was the best thing I did for my daughter. Her grades improved, her reading level improved, her attention span improved, I cannot say enough good things. Best decision I made as a parent.

We spent so much money on vision therapy and no result.
