Vision Therapy for Kids – Another Success Story

A great new book, giving a mother-daughter perspective of the success of vision therapy for kids.

Robin and Jillian Benoit are the  authors of Jillian’s StoryHow Vision Therapy Changed My Daughter’s Life.   The book is about how Robin looked beyond their ophthalmologist’s narrow view in treating her daughter’s amblyopia.

Here is a summary of the book, as found on their website:  click here

An inspiring tale of determination, Jillian’s Story: How Vision Therapy Changed My Daughter’s Life offers a deeply personal account along with life-changing information on the importance of vision therapy.  At the age of five, Jillian Benoit was diagnosed with amblyopia, a condition in which a child is born with good vision in one eye and extremely weak vision in the other—she had been legally blind in one eye since birth, and no one knew it.  After receiving the diagnosis, the Benoit family embarked on a six-year odyssey to improve Jillian’s vision—eye patches, thick glasses, visits to doctors’ offices, and constant struggles with academics—before finally discovering the wonders of vision therapy.

Jillian’s family are most interested in spreading the word to other parents about how vision therapy for kids can truly change a life.
