Whole Picture Health & Vision’s mission is to diagnose and treat the most challenging visual problems by fostering collaboration across many different specialties including optometry, vision therapy, physical therapy, neurology and even functional dentistry. Our motto is “See the whole picture; treat the whole person.” The human visual experience can be affected by a multitude of factors ranging from neurological conditions, brain trauma and systemic diseases like diabetes to considerations such as lifestyle, posture, jaw alignment and even light exposure. We examine every angle of your unique situation when prescribing treatment so that you can live your best life through the least invasive and most holistic means possible.
New Optical Products
Over the past few years, many of our patients at Whole Picture Health & Vision have expressed a desire to fill their glasses prescriptions during their visits. We’ve listened to your feedback and are thrilled to announce the launch of a new optical department within our office!
We’ve carefully curated an initial selection of stylish and practical frames from a trusted manufacturer, with plans to expand our offerings in the coming months. In line with our commitment to ethical practices, we’ve chosen not to carry brands associated with the Luxottica conglomerate, focusing instead on sustainable and socially responsible products.
Given that we are a small, busy office, we strive to assist patients interested in our optical services at the time of their exam. However, for a more personalized experience, we recommend calling ahead to schedule a visit with our optical staff during available hours on Wednesdays and Fridays.
If you experience loss of vision, double vision, swelling, infection or any eye emergency, contact us immediately for guidance. We’ll help you with the best treatment to prevent complications and promote long-lasting clear eyesight.
Please call our office at: 607-246-8466 for further instructions. If urgent, find the nearest emergency room.
Schedule Your Appointment today or call us at 607-246-8466.

Q&A with Your OPTOMETRIST
Q: What is Vision Therapy?
A: Vision therapy is an individualized treatment plan prescribed by a Doctor of Optometry. It is used to treat eye conditions, such as strabismus (eye turn) or amblyopia (“lazy eye”). Through Vision Therapy, a Doctor of Optometry also teaches, improves and/or reinforces important visual skills, such as eye tracking, eye focusing and eye teaming abilities. Without these visual skills, simple tasks like reading or copying notes from the board become difficult. Skipping words or lines while reading, using a finger while reading, blurry near vision, double vision, eyestrain and/or eye fatigue are also common symptoms.
