EVER HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT VISION THERAPY?
HOPE CLINIC’S NEW WEBSITE WILL ANSWER THEM.
Welcome….(as Jay Leno would say)…..Welcome to Our New Website. After months of planning, organizing, writing, re-writing, discussing, arguing, and hurrying to meet deadlines - our new Website is a reality. Every e ort has been made to make it user friendly, while providing vital information about Hope Clinic, Developmental and Neuro-Optometric Vision Care, and Vision Therapy.
Information about specific visual conditions, such as Vision and Academic Learning, Strabismus, Amblyopia, Vision Issues in Traumatic Brain Injury, and Vision and Autism, has been expanded and organized to make web surfing quicker and more enjoyable. Meet the Staff and Contact Information pages are easy to locate and navigate. A Glossary of Visually Related terminology is included. Patient Intake Forms can be downloaded, to be completed and brought to the initial appointment. And appointments for Free Screenings and Full Functional Vision Evaluations can be scheduled right from our Website.
MEET THE DOCTOR AND SOME PATIENTS ON OUR VIDEO!
Our Hope Clinic Information Video is now available for viewing from our Website Home Page. It is also on You Tube via the Internet! We are thrilled that Web technology now allows us to bring our Video from the C/D format to viewing directly on the computer. A salute to Audrey Brown and MMIT Publishing Co. for enhancing and bringing the Video to our Website. A short, concise overview of Hope Clinic is but a click away!
NEW SERVICE- SCHOOL VISITS PROVIDE THE LINK BETWEEN CLASSROOM LEARNING AND VISION THERAPY.
LISA KNOPP TEAMS WITH SCHOOLS FOR YOUR CHILD.
In order to provide the best help to our patients who are children going to school, we are offering a new service to our families. With written parent permission, Lisa Knopp will visit your child’s teacher to help them understand how the child’s vision issues relate to their learning and classroom experience. She will provide suggestions for classroom accommodations, which will enhance the child’s learning in the classroom. She will also attend IEP meetings (if applicable) and meet individually with Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, School Counselors, or other professionals working with your child in the schools.
Lisa’s two decades of teaching experience give her a perspective that allows her to deeply understand the school experience. If you would like to take advantage of this service, please fill out the permission form and provide us the contact information we need to set up a school visit/meeting. We understand the benefit of TEAMWORK to best help your child.

DID YOU KNOW ONE OUT OF TEN PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE 3-D VISION?
"Toystory",“Avatar” and other movies and books have started a 3-D revolution.
TV is now offering programming in a 3-D format. Parts of the picture appear to come right at the viewer, creating an incredible sense of realism. This is the new technology – the “wave of the future.”
Yet many people cannot appreciate 3-D vision. The two eyes must work precisely together (called binocular vision) in order for 3-Dd vision to be appreciated. Strabismus (eye turn), Amblyopia (reduced vision in one or both eyes) and other Disorders of Binocular Function, such as Convergence Insufficiency, can significantly reduce the 3-D impact.
Lead Vision Therapist Lisa Knopp has created an informative presentation on 3-D viewing. Power point slides and hands-on demonstrations explain how the eyes and brain create 3-D visual responses. This Presentation is available at no charge to PTA’s, Teacher Workshops, Homeschool Parent Groups, and other interested organizations.
Lisa is also available to give talks related to general understanding of Vision Therapy Benefits, and Prevention of Visual Dysfunctions. Call or email Lisa (425-462-7800) to set up your group’s presentation.
