Prior to starting Vision Therapy, I was non-functional and I was losing hope with my recovery

Prior to starting Vision Therapy, I was non-functional and I was losing hope with my recovery. I sustained my first brain injury 7 years ago from a sports-related cause and have since had 20+ other brain injuries. By the time I reached out to Dr. Kim for treatment, I was unable to walk, drive, or talk for normal periods of time. I woke up and fell asleep in pain, my brain fog was constant, and my eye strain was so severe I could barely open my eyes. I was non-functional and list everything from my career, my social life, and my physical activity. Throughout Vision Therapy, Dr. Kim and her team were extremely patient and confident with their treatment plan. It was definitely hard, emotional, and draining at times, but I kept my hope and was always excited to see them every week. It took about 4 months to start seeing changes in my symptoms but I have been progressing ever since. My pain is now just discomfort and my brain fog was cut to a fraction of what it was. I have much more endurance throughout the day, I am able to socialize again, and I am able to walk a little farther each day! I feel less anxious about normal activities and have joy and gratitude in my life again. I am beyond thankful for Dr. Kim and her team who never gave up on me. Overall, my experience with Visualeyes Optometry has been extremely successful and I couldn't be more grateful for such an amazing team!
