We're uniquely qualified to check children’s (age 6+) eyes and to give your child the best and safest eyewear to help them see as clearly as possible. Our prescribing philosophy is conservative; so glasses won't be recommended for your child unless they are likely to be of significant benefit.

If your child is having problems and isn't doing well in school, their eyes should be examined here even if they have passed their school vision screening or the school vision screening tell you your children's vision is "clear". Here’s why:

Many students have undiagnosed learning difficulties which can involve their vision (even if they see 20/20!) and come from being unable to control focus, tracking and eye coordination skills. Up to 20% of mainstream underachieving students and up to 50% of special education students have a visionrelated learning difficulty.

Dr. Galanter is one of the original developers of the patented VERA system of identification of vision-related learning difficulties. The VERA vision skills screening can quickly and inexpensively help to determine if your child has this type of difficulty. You’ll then receive a packet of information about how to best help their child at home, in school and through specialized vision care.
