Notice!

We’ve enhanced our protocols for our patients’ health and safety, which is our number one priority. Before arriving, please let us know if you are experiencing any symptoms of the Coronavirus or if you have been in close contact with someone that has COVID-19. Symptoms can include coughing, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or a new loss of taste or smell. Because fever is a common sign of COVID, we are required to check your temperature with a non-contact thermometer when you arrive.

Additionally, for the safety of everyone in the office, we ask that you please come alone or limit the number of people that accompany you to one person, if possible. Also, please wear a cloth face covering or facemask. We’ll ask that you clean your hands with hand sanitizer upon entering the office and try to maintain a 6 foot distance from other patients and customers.

We have also applied specific guidelines for vulnerable members of the population, so that they feel comfortable in our office. As needed, Sumner Vision team will make special accommodations to minimize risk of exposure based on individual needs.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.

  • Pediatric Vision

Treatment of Pediatric Vision Issues

Although glasses may help with these pediatric vision issues, vision therapy is the most common course of treatment. Vision therapy actually retrains the eyes to work together, focus appropriately, and track objects. This may include in-office therapy with special instruments as well as personalized at-home exercises to practice vision skills. Successful vision therapy changes the eyes' functioning to facilitate clear vision.
