Episode #6: Let's Talk Vision with Dr. Tina Schiller O.D.

In this episode,  Lori engages in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Tina Schiller OD, FCOVD, the esteemed owner of Summit Vision Center in Issaquah, WA. Lori shares her personal journey of working closely with Dr. Tina when her daughter's vision challenges began impacting her learning. With a deep passion for the subject, Lori emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between sight and vision, advocating for comprehensive vision evaluations for every child. Unlike milestones like walking or talking, vision problems can be tricky to spot because kids often learn to cope with them. Dr. Tina adeptly navigates this difference, explaining why conventional eye exams at the doctor's office or school might not catch important issues. She also offers valuable insights on what to look for at different ages that could indicate potential vision problems in children.  We're grateful for your support.
