About Us
Founded in 1991, our clinic specializes in the assessment and treatment of Binocular Vision Dysfunction and Visual Processing Disorders, Neuro-Optometric Vision Rehabilitation, and Athlete Vision Performance. Treatment and vision rehabilitation programs at Advanced Vision Therapy Center are research and evidence based. This means you can be confident that you receive the highest level of specialized care at every visit. You see results in months, not years.
If you are looking for the best care possible, you found it. Advanced Vision Therapy Center is recognized as an industry leader, providing unparalleled treatment results in a patient-centered environment. That's why our treatment programs are doctor recommended and patient preferred. Our treatment programs graduate 98.7%*of patients within the prescribed number of treatment sessions, with an impressive success rate of 99.3%* (*based on our patient outcomes 1991-2017).
How do we achieve the results that we do? We use proven treatment methods, established protocols, and every patient's progress is monitored by our clinical director, Dr. Ryan C. Johnson, who is Idaho's only residency-trained neuro-optometrist. In addition, we have Idaho's only team of professional, licensed therapists specifically trained in vision therapy, vision rehabilitation and sports vision. Our high standards means you receive world-class care. There is nothing cookie-cutter about our treatment programs. Every session is one-one-one with a professional therapist, individualized based on diagnosis, tailored to the ability level of the patient, goal oriented and outcome based. Your success is our success, and since 1991 that is what our reputation has been built on.
Our clinical director, Dr. Ryan C. Johnson, is Idaho's only residency-trained neuro-optometrist. As a UC Berkeley residency-trained neuro-optometrist, Dr. Johnson has additional education and clinical training specific to neuro-optometry, binocular vision, visual processing disorders, vision therapy and sports vision that other optometrists do not. Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Dr. Johnson had one goal. To bring his specialized training back home, to help the residents of the Treasure Valley and beyond who struggle with complex vision problems.
Our Team
Dr. Ryan Johnson, O. D., F.A.A.O.
Idaho's only Residency-Trained Neuro-Optometrist
Ryan C. Johnson, OD, FAAO received his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from Boise State University and his Doctorate of Optometry from the Southern California College of Optometry. The following year, he was accepted into a residency program at University of California, Berkeley in the areas of Binocular Vision, Neuro-Optometry and Vision Therapy. Dr. Johnson is Idaho's first and only residency-trained optometrist in the areas of neuro-optometry, binocular vision and vision therapy.
His advanced training allows him to manage even the most complex cases of binocular vision dysfunction, post-trauma vision changes, and visual processing deficits. After completing his residency, Dr. Johnson joined Advanced Vision Therapy Center as Clinical Director and brings an in-depth understand of neuro-optometry to the Treasure Valley.
Dr. Johnson is one of a select few optometrists in Idaho to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. The letters 'FAAO' (Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry) after an optometrist's name signifies that the doctor has met the rigorous qualifications for Fellowship and has been evaluated against the highest standards of professional competence (visit www.aaopt.org for more information).
Fellowship with the American Academy of Optometry demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based practice and a commitment to lifelong learning for the advancement of patient care. This is why Fellows of the American Academy of Optometry have continued education requirements beyond the minimum requirement of the state's board of optometry.
