About Us
We are a specialty optometric practice dedicated to diagnosing and treating vision problems that interfere with reading, learning and activities of daily living.
Dr. Jenna Williams-McDermed & Dr. Chi Tran use vision therapy to teach patients to use their vision across a range of different circumstances.
We focus on children, particularly those with learning difficulties, using visual training as a way to improve the use of his or her eyes. We also provide specialty care to help athletes develop the advanced levels of visual ability that is needed for sports.
