Family Eyecare Solutions Celebrates Five Years

HANOVER, Mass. - Feb. 17, 2023 - PRLog -- Family Eyecare Solutions (https://familyeyecaresolutions.com/), an optometry practice specializing in vision therapy, myopia control, and post-concussion vision syndrome and led by Development Optometrist Laura Vasilakos, OD, FCOVD, will celebrate five years of optometry care on March 1, 2023.

Dr. Vasilakos founded Family Eyecare Solutions in 2018, after recognizing a real need for these types of vision issues and a lack of providers who provided services that work to deal with these problems.

Family Eyecare Solutions offers a range of services, including developmental vision evaluations, visual information processing evaluations, evaluations for vision problems after a concussion, and myopia control options (to slow nearsightedness from getting worse) such as Ortho-K corneal reshaping contact lenses, multifocal soft contact lenses, and medicated eye drops.  She also is an Infant See provider, offering complementary vision assessments for babies ages 6-12 months.

A former teacher, Dr. Vasilakos recognizes how vision problems can affect an individual's ability to read, learn, and comprehend.  While one in four children might suffer from double-vision (despite having 20/20 vision), many end up being misdiagnosed as having ADHD or a similar condition.  She also works with children and adults to help provide therapies to avoid strabismus surgery and provide alternatives to patching for "lazy eye."

Dr. Vasilakos is board certified in vision development, behavioral and developmental vision care, optometric vision therapy, and vision rehabilitation, and specializes in myopia control, orthokeratology, and vision therapy.  She earned her Doctor of Optometry from New England College of Optometry and her bachelor's degree in biology/biological sciences and secondary education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

"I'm proud of our practice and the services we offer, which many people don't even realize are an option," said Dr. Vasilakos.  "From helping children who might be struggling with reading or staying focused because of a vision problem as opposed to an attention deficit, to informing patients about truly effective alternatives to surgery, to helping individuals achieve better vision without the need for glasses to allow them to participate safely and fully in sports, our team is really making a difference in our patients' lives, and I am so grateful for their support, and for our patients' trust in us.

"Five years is very exciting, and we've made a real impact in that relatively short amount of time," Dr. Vasilakos added.  "We're even more excited for the next five years…and beyond!"
