What Makes Whole Picture Health & Vision Unique

Vision Therapy Programs

Some visual conditions cannot be treated with glasses, contact lenses, surgery, and/or eye patching and are best resolved through a program of Vision Therapy.

Eye Exams In Ithaca, New York

Good vision happens in a person’s brain/mind/body. Our eye doctors examine the entire visual system in order to determine the very best vision care solution.

Specialty Contact Lenses

It's not uncommon for patients to have difficulty wearing contact lenses for a number of reasons. Due to the individual eye shape, certain conditions or the aftermath of surgery.

Dr. Bloom and Gregory at Whole Picture have taken wonderful care of our daughter’s eyes. We can not express enough our gratitude. The therapy program they set up helped her with school, horse back riding, and overall physical health. If you need eye care they are the place to go. The drive is worth it. We drive almost an hour each way for every visit and don’t regret one minute.

Dr. Bloom and her staff were kind, extremely thorough, and wonderfully receptive to any questions and concerns I had. I felt heard and supported, and received care with patience, education, and professionalism. I especially appreciated their holistic approach to eye care and overall well-being.

The space is welcoming, full of character, I felt much more at home than in a white-white-grey-grey clinical building. The receptionist was helpful and attentive, and Dr. Bloom was FABULOUS. She took all the time necessary to go over my vision care, without rushing (even though the appointment might have gone overtime). She was respectful that I had had bad reactions to eye drops in the past, and didn't push me to use them unless I was comfortable. Dr. Bloom was personable, professional, knowledgeable and very kind. I felt so at ease and trusting, especially since I don't always feel comfortable at doctors' offices. I recommend Dr. Bloom to everyone! Thank you for such a great visit.

From the receptionists' kind and accommodating demeanor to Dr Bloom's thorough, patient, and detailed examinations; we found Whole Picture Health and Vision to be outstanding. As a result of Gregory's encouraging and kind attitude and his amazing work ethic, Larry improved with each of his therapy sessions. Not only did he improve physically, he improved psychologically. He was exhausted after his therapy sessions but he was always encouraged and uplifted. As a result of the positive therapy results and the comforting and positive environment in the office, we will make every effort to return to Ithaca from Florida and continue therapy. In the mean time Larry is using his "at home exercise kit" to continue to improve his vision.

We started going to Whole Picture to help my 92 year young father who needed their help. We were introduced to therapy and quickly learned how great Gregory is a what he does. My father is seeing better and symptoms he has had for years are subsiding.This experience with the use of color to help the body through the eyes has transformed my career. I am now studying the use of color and soon will apply this to my business as a new part of therapy. I can't thank Gregory enough for his help with my father and his help opening my eyes to a new world I can wait to explore. Shelley Andrade

What is Vision Therapy?

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.
