Boost Your Child’s Academic Success with Vision Therapy 

Many parents are unaware of the powerful connection between vision and academic success. Vision issues can often go unnoticed, but they may be reflected in your child’s report card in ways you wouldn’t expect. From trouble focusing to poor reading comprehension, undiagnosed visual challenges can hinder a child’s ability to learn and excel in the classroom.

How Vision Issues Show Up in Report Cards 

Do you see comments like these on your child’s report card? 

  • Difficulty staying focused or paying attention 
  • Struggles with reading comprehension 
  • Frequent mistakes during homework 
  • Skips lines or loses their place while reading 
  • Complaints of headaches or eye strain 

If so, your child may be dealing with undiagnosed vision issues that affect their ability to process information, track text, or focus on tasks. These problems can impact their performance across subjects, leading to frustration and lower grades.

Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam and learn more about how vision therapy could be the key to unlocking your child’s success in the classroom.

Originally from Battle Creek, Michigan, Dr. Doud attended St. Philip High School. He would go on to attend Central Michigan University, where he would major in chemistry. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, Dr. Doud began studying at Ferris State College of Optometry in 1986, where he would receive his Doctorate in Optometry.

As a staff optometrist at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, Florida, he gained extensive experience in the treatment of ocular diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes. Returning to Michigan, he joined the staff of one of Michigan’s busiest refractive surgery centers. There, he enjoyed experience in the care of cataract and Lasik surgery patients. Dr. Doud opened Hartland Eye Care in 1992, bringing all of these experiences into his own practice.

In 2000, in response to the myopia epidemic, Dr. Doud began myopia management. He then opened the affiliated Visual Learning Center in 2003 to help care for patients with Learning related visual problems.

Dr.Doud and his optometrist wife Sandy have raised three daughters in Brighton and are involved in various ministries with St. Patrick church. In their spare time they enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends.
