SightWork Vision Rehabilitation has officially opened a new location in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, expanding its specialized vision therapy services to the community. The practice, led by the doctors of Eyecare Specialties, focuses on vision rehabilitation, offering effective solutions for patients of all ages with visual impairments.
“We’re thrilled to bring vision therapy to Lee’s Summit,” said Dr. Susan Lake, O.D., of SightWork Vision Rehabilitation. “This service is not widely available, and our team is dedicated to helping patients improve their quality of life with personalized care.”
Dr. Lake, a board-certified expert in vision development and therapy, has extensive experience working with both pediatric and adult patients. She is known for her clear, approachable explanations of complex vision conditions. Whether treating children with vision-related learning difficulties or helping adults recover from concussion-related visual impairments, Dr. Lake’s focus is on making vision therapy accessible and understandable.
“Our goal is to make a real difference in the lives of our patients,” said Dr. Starman, O.D., a specialist in vision therapy and pediatric care. “By restoring vision, we help patients regain their confidence and independence, which can be life-changing.”
Many eye care providers do not offer dedicated vision therapy, leaving patients with few options for treating conditions like eye strain, double vision, or visual processing difficulties. SightWork Vision Rehabilitation aims to fill this gap with evidence-based, non-surgical treatments designed to retrain the brain and eyes to work together more effectively.
Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised program involving targeted exercises, specialized equipment, and interactive techniques to improve the brain-eye connection. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (misaligned eyes), convergence insufficiency, visual processing disorders, post-concussion visual issues, and digital eye strain. Unlike traditional treatments like glasses or surgery, vision therapy focuses on the brain’s ability to adapt and strengthen visual function over time, enhancing coordination, reading speed, and overall visual clarity.
“Restoring vision is not just about clearer sight—it’s about improving how patients interact with the world around them,” Dr. Lake explained. “Whether it’s a child struggling with reading, an adult facing challenges at work, or an athlete refining their visual skills, vision therapy provides the tools needed to succeed.”
SightWork’s team uses advanced diagnostic tools to create personalized therapy programs tailored to each patient’s needs. The new Lee’s Summit location offers a comfortable, welcoming environment where patients can receive expert care in a supportive setting.
