Cypress Vision Therapy - Your Eye Doctor in Cypress

Our experience with Cypress Vision Therapy has been excellent. We ultimately arrived at vision therapy after realizing that the treatment my daughter had already been doing for her concussion was not fully addressing the visual deficiencies that were contributing to her ongoing symptoms. Dr. Pitts helped us understand what vision therapy could address, how it differed from the physical therapy we had already tried, and why that therapy alone had not been relieving all of her symptoms. I really appreciated having a clearer explanation of what was going on rather than simply being told that she needed another form of treatment. I will also be very honest that vision therapy is a significant investment of both time and finances, and I had been hesitant to commit to it for that reason. We initially tried other approaches in part because I was hoping to avoid such a long-term commitment. Once we decided to move forward, though, Cypress Vision Therapy made the process much more manageable than I expected. The office has been extremely easy to communicate with and very understanding when life happens. If we have needed to change an appointment because of illness or another conflict, the staff has always been helpful and easy to work with. That flexibility has made a big difference when committing to something that requires regular appointments over an extended period of time. The therapists have also been wonderful. They do a great job of making the activities engaging and enjoyable while still challenging my daughter appropriately. They regularly ask how she is feeling and adjust what they are doing based on how she is responding rather than simply pushing through a predetermined program. I have especially appreciated the communication between the therapists and Dr. Pitts. In our experience, we return to Dr. Pitts for regular progress evaluations, approximately every eight weeks, so she can reassess how therapy is going. The therapists communicate directly with her about what they are seeing during sessions, and Dr. Pitts is then able to combine that information with her own evaluation. The therapists take her feedback and incorporate it back into the treatment plan. It feels very collaborative and individualized rather than like everyone is working separately. Another thing that has stood out has been how thoughtfully they have worked with my daughter's exercise intolerance. Sustained exertion and an elevated heart rate have been difficult for her, and they have been very good at meeting her where she is while still gradually challenging her. They have found a balance between not pushing her beyond what she can tolerate and also not allowing her to remain stuck at the same level. They have also made the home exercises realistic and attainable for our family. Vision therapy was not something I entered into lightly, and I think that is important for other parents to know. It requires commitment. But I have been very impressed by how individualized the care has been, how closely the therapists and doctor communicate, and how much effort they put into making the process manageable for both the child and the family. I am very grateful for the care my daughter has received at Cypress Vision Therapy.
