If you’re still dealing with headaches, dizziness, or difficulty reading after a concussion, your visual system may be part of the problem.

Many patients are told they should feel better once imaging is normal—but symptoms like light sensitivity, screen intolerance, and brain fog are often caused by how the brain is processing visual information, not just the injury itself.

At Texas Vision Therapy, we focus on brain-based visual rehabilitation, identifying how the eyes and brain are miscommunicating after a concussion and retraining that system to support recovery.



  • headaches when reading or using screens
  • dizziness or disorientation in busy environments
  • blurred or double vision
  • light sensitivity
  • motion sensitivity or nausea
  • difficulty concentrating or returning to normal activities



We use a structured, brain-based approach to:

  • identify how your visual system is functioning
  • reduce symptom intensity
  • retrain eye coordination and visual processing
  • help you return to daily life with more comfort and stability

Phase 1 — Neurological Mapping

Phase 2 — Stabilization & alignment

Phase 3 — Neural retraining

Phase 4 — Integration and Performance

Dr. Chelette is the creator of The Brain-Based Vision Recovery Model, a 4-Phase Neurological Approach to Visual Rehabilitation, a method that targets the root neurological causes of academic and performance struggles by retraining the brain and visual systems as an alternative to medication or compensating for symptoms.

Your eyes may be healthy. The issue may be communication.

We identify how the brain is misprocessing visual input — not just whether the patient sees 20/20. What’s Assessed: eye tracking, convergence/divergence, binocular coordination, visual processing speed, and vestibular integration (if concussion-related)



We calm the system before we challenge it.


Reduce symptom intensity before intensive retraining for headaches, dizziness, motion sensitivity, visual overwhelm with tools such as precision lenses (if indicated), controlled visual demand, and foundational coordination work.



We retrain how your brain processes vision.

This is the core of vision therapy and it focuses on strengthening binocular coordination, improving tracking efficiency, building endurance, and increasing visual-cognitive integration so that reading becomes easier, symptoms decrease, and recovery accelerates.




We don’t stop when symptoms improve. We restore function.


Dr. Chelette transitions patients from clinical improvement to real-world performance. For example: classroom endurance, sports tracking, screen tolerance, driving confidence, cognitive stamina, etc.

brain based vision recovery model

What to expect during your brain-based vision evaluation with Dr. Chelette?

Your first visit is designed to answer a different question than a routine eye exam: Why are these symptoms happening if your eyes “seem fine”?

Most patients we see have been told their vision is 20/20 and that everything looks "normal," although they are still dealing with headaches or eye strain, reading difficulties or slow comprehension, dizziness or motion sensitivity, trouble focusing or attention challenges, or symptoms after a concussion.

This is because many vision problems are neurological and functional, not optical.



Your evaluation includes approximately 120 minutes of direct doctor time, focused on identifying problems within the visual system that affect daily performance.

Our goal is to reduce frustration and misdiagnosis. We want you to feel informed, supported, and confident in understanding both the problem and the options available to address it.

  • Eye teaming (binocular vision dysfunction) – How well your eyes work together as a coordinated system
  • Eye tracking (reading & learning performance) – How efficiently your eyes move across a page or screen
  • Eye focusing (visual endurance & clarity) – Your ability to sustain clear vision over time
  • Visual processing & eye-brain coordination – How your brain interprets and responds to visual information
  • Refraction and functional lens testing – Whether glasses may reduce strain or improve comfort
  • Basic eye health screening – To rule out medical eye conditions


  • Pinpoint the root cause of symptoms
  • Explain what we found in clear, understandable terms
  • Connect your symptoms to how your visual system is functioning
  • Determine if a targeted treatment plan is needed

Evaluation (Beyond 20/20 vision)

What I admire most about specialty doctors, are how the core issues are identified and addressed.

Dr. Chelette instilled a sense of hope that is so undervalued by many medical professionals today. If you are considering going here for a consultation, know that you will be listened to and thoroughly assessed.

Prior to visiting this clinic, I had seen four different licensed opthamologists over the last four years for the same issue and they all provided a traditional anatomical approach providing a new prescription that did little more than block harmful blue light. Not one prior doctor recommended exercises or attempted to understand the origin of the issue without asking. If you are unsure of a consultation, let this review provide some positive encouragement at a chance to improve your quality of life. This is easily a 5 star service.

I had suffered from vertigo and other symptoms, since I was 10 years old. Over the years I have had an MRI & CT scans of my brain, taken medications and the list goes on and on. I am now 52 years old. I found Dr. Chelette a few weeks ago. In one session, he was able to figure out what was wrong with me. I had double vision this whole time. With the proper eyeglasses prescription that Dr. Chelette wrote, my life is now normal. No more vertigo and no more headaches! I can drive without fear. The biggest plus is Dr. Chelette didn't rush through the visit. He took the time to listen to me and diagnose my issue. I have so much confidence in Dr. Chelette that I am now taking my son for a visit because I believe he can help him.

Dr. Chelette is amazing!!! He is great with kids that are struggling with visual issues. In fact, I was referred to him by a famous neuroscientist and author Susan Berry, which speaks volumes of his reputation. He has a depth of knowledge and understanding that is unique in the field. There are less than 2/3 optometrist who tackle these visual difficulties in Houston but he by far is the best. My son’s prescription has improved and we are hoping he can soon come out of his glasses!

We landed here when looking for a second consult, confirming the assessment we had from the first place. But the other place was far from Katy, had too busy a schedule, only offered therapy during business hours and recommended the elementary school kids come for sessions mid morning before they are too tired. All great things, but not practical at all, considering the sessions are weekly and easily run for up to 8-months.

Doc here was super attentive to parents concerns, invested in how his clinic is run, offered preemptively the accommodations I could ask of teaching conditions at school and didn’t hassle us over a few months when we were still making our decision. Once we opted in, weekly experience has been great, kid really enjoys their time here and even though medical insurance wasn’t gonna cover the treatment, the clinic accepted our FSA card. Looking forward to mid-treatment evaluation, earnestly.

We have a son that has been doing vision therapy here and we have seen DRAMATIC improvements. We’ve even caught him reading on his own. We are SO grateful for this. It’s already been a game changer for us.

I took my 3 year old daughter to see Dr Justin Chelette for her lazy eye and I learned more on our first visit than I did in a year of regular visits at our previous optometrist. My visit to Texas Vision Therapy was night and day different than what I’d experienced previously. We didn’t have to wait to see the Dr, we walked right in and he spent over an hour working with my toddler doing various exercises. Dr Chelette got on the ground with her to demonstrate some play based exercises we can do at home to help pull her eye out. I loved that anytime he said something about how this or that would help to pull my daughters eye muscles out I didn’t have to take his word for it, he physically showed me how her eye would move out. After being told by a previous optometrist that there is no exercises you can do to pull an eye out and then seeing that Not be true, I was sold. I’ll never go anywhere else for my daughter’s vision needs.

Dr. Chelette was introduced to me by a visit to my work where he gave a presentation. I asked him about my daughter and the fact that the nurse at her school needed an outside optometrist to test her because she couldn't. Mind you, my daughter is 6, non-verbal autistic and doesn't particularly like people in her space (I feel that kid). He reassured me that the tests he performs would test her vision and many other factors without making her feel anxious or agitated. I thought, "Sign me up, doc!" So I took her to see him and it was a great experience! He was very patient with her and took his time examining her. He also recommended different activities to do with her to strengthen different skill sets. If you have a child on the spectrum or they've had bad experiences with other optometrists, I highly recommend Dr. Chelette.

Everything about my experience was above expectation. I've never had someone do such a thorough and thoughtful examination of my vision before. I typically feel like I'm being rushed through appointments like this, but Dr Chelette was fantastic and took the time to make sure I understood everything. I highly recommend Texas Vision Therapy.

I had a head injury and went in for an evaluation as well as an eye exam and I can say Dr. Chelette is one of the most thorough doctors that I have ever met. He is extremely intelligent as he corrected my prescription lenses and gave me great exercises for a great recovery.

I can't express in words how grateful I am. From the moment I reached out to this place for my daughter, who has Down Syndrome, to receive care, I felt a deep sense of understanding and empathy. The word 'inclusion' isn't just a concept for them; it's a practice ingrained in every aspect of their work. The dedication, kindness, and talent of their team are evident in every interaction. I finally found a place where my daughter is truly understood and supported. Everyone! has to visit this place; you won't regret it. Thank you for everything! Thank you Dr. Chelette! I appreciate your efforts to speak Spanish!
