Specialties
Washington Vision Therapy Center is a practice specializing in therapeutic treatment of functional vision problems. We work with patients of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens, focusing on gaining strong, efficient visual systems. The majority of the vision issues we address cannot be corrected by glasses or contacts alone. This includes, but is not limited to, Convergence Insufficiency, double vision, eye turns (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), trouble focusing, headaches with reading, eye strain, dizziness or vertigo with a visual component, and visual disturbances due to traumatic brain injuries.
History
Established in 2010.
The Washington Vision Therapy Center was established in Yakima in 2010. Since then, we have grown to a practice that sees over 100 patients every week. We now have an additional location open in the Tri-Cities. We are excited to continue to expand and be able to serve even more patients.
