Dr. Carl Childress has attended to my challenging visual concerns for over 30 years.
Dr. Carl is a doctor with exceptional knowledge, unique experience, genuine compassion and integrity. His wife, Patricia, is honestly the most organized assistant I have known. She always ensures the office is functioning at the highest level of efficiency. Dr. Carl and Patricia are both thorough, persistent, and professional.
Initially, I went to Dr. Carl for single vision contact lenses. Through his unequaled expertise in orthokeratology, Dr. Carl significantly reduced the correction required for my very near-sighted eyes. Later, he prescribed the most wonderful bifocal contact lenses for me that I enjoyed for many years, much to the envy of my struggling monovision friends (one eye for distance, one eye for near, and a setup for binocular problems).
During the same timeframe, Dr. Carl also diagnosed and treated me for meibomian gland dysfunction. My eyes were very red, irritated, and extremely dry. I was beyond miserable. Dr. Carl also taught me steps for preventative care at home. The results I have experienced cannot be overstated, even when compared to the four-hour roundtrip to Longview. And, I have spoken to other patients that happily drive from other states!
My initial experience with vision therapy was for extreme motion sickness. Thankfully, Dr. Mary Childress, the pioneer in vision therapy, quickly and totally eliminated the motion sickness that I suffered with since childhood.
In recent years, I experienced two retinal detachments that resulted in numerous binocular vision dysfunctions. I was very concerned that I would be unable to return to work because of the stress associated with visual distortions, especially considering the detailed nature of my profession.
Through his inimitable expertise in vision therapy, Dr. Carl persevered in treating troubling binocular disparities. He also prescribed home training, which was an important aspect of instilling new habits, enhancing my progress and maintaining the results. As my vision stabilized, my sense of well-being was also renewed. Not only did I return to work, I was able to perform all of my duties at the level expected by my employer. Dr. Carl is simply the best!
It is impossible to express the depth of my gratitude for the exceptional care I have experienced at Childress Vision Clinic. My vision and quality of life are forever changed. To say “thank you” is not enough.
If you are struggling with your vision, even if you think there is no hope, I encourage you to visit Childress Vision Clinic.
