Welcome to Vision Development of WNY
Elma, New York
If your eyes aren’t functioning as a team, you can’t focus properly, retain balance, or learn.
Vision Development of WNY focuses on restoring your visual function, learning, and quality of life throughout the Elma, Buffalo, Western New York region, and beyond.
“When patients “see” themselves and their world differently, they have more options available to them for their life’s journey. Our joy is helping them get there.”
– Dr. Dick O’Connor

“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18
Are you a parent concerned with your child’s ability to focus, read, and learn?
For both children and adults, we offer advanced vision solutions with the goal of developing and restoring full visual function in order to enhance educational, athletic and social qualities of life.
Functional vision goes far beyond simply having 20/20. It is the intaking of information by the eyes, and the processing of that information by the BRAIN that results in an appropriate response. When this doesn’t happen efficiently, it causes children to expend an excess amount of energy with less-than-optimal results which creates exhaustion, frustration, and low self-confidence.
At Vision Development of WNY we take the time to explain the results of your eye exam, describe your options and listen to your eye care needs. Because maintaining good eye health is an ongoing partnership, our doctors encourage you to ask questions and share your health information, which could be vital to monitoring, diagnosing and treating potential vision problems.
