Vision Therapy & Neuro-Optometric Referrals in Houston & Katy

Referral forms

Refer a patient to vision therapy

We collaborate with a range of healthcare providers who recognize the impact of the visual system on overall function and recovery. This includes pediatricians, neurologists, physical and vestibular therapists, psychologists, and other specialists managing patients with complex or unresolved symptoms. Our goal is to complement your care by identifying and treating visual system dysfunctions that may be contributing to your patient’s clinical presentation.

For Pediatricians

We work with children whose symptoms don’t fully resolve through traditional pathways—patients with reading struggles, attention concerns, headaches, or suspected ADHD where the underlying issue may be visual. Dr. Chelette specializes in brain-based visual rehabilitation, identifying and treating functional vision problems that interfere with learning and development. Through collaborative care, we help pediatric patients improve reading efficiency, reduce symptoms, and better engage in school and daily life.

For Neurologists

We partner with neurologists to support patients with persistent visual symptoms following concussion or neurological injury. Many individuals continue to experience headaches, dizziness, light sensitivity, and cognitive fatigue despite otherwise normal findings. Dr. Chelette focuses on neuro-optometric rehabilitation, addressing deficits in eye movement, visual processing, and visual-vestibular integration to help patients progress more fully in their recovery.

For Physical Therapists / Vestibular Therapists

We collaborate with PTs and vestibular specialists when patients plateau in rehabilitation due to unresolved visual system dysfunction. The visual system plays a critical role in balance, coordination, and spatial orientation. Dr. Chelette evaluates and treats eye tracking, focusing, and visual-vestibular integration issues that may be limiting progress, helping patients move forward more efficiently in their overall recovery.

For Psychologists, Counselors, and Therapists

We work with patients whose symptoms—such as anxiety, attention difficulties, or sensory overwhelm—may be exacerbated by underlying visual processing dysfunction. When the visual system is not functioning efficiently, it can increase cognitive load and reduce tolerance for reading, screens, and busy environments. Dr. Chelette provides neuro-optometric care that supports regulation of the visual-brain connection, often complementing therapeutic and behavioral interventions.

Many patients we see have symptoms that persist despite appropriate care in other areas. We commonly co-manage cases involving reading and learning difficulties, post-concussion symptoms, binocular vision dysfunction, chronic headaches, dizziness, and visual intolerance to screens or busy environments. By addressing the visual component, we often help unlock progress in patients who may otherwise feel stuck.

Conditions we commonly co-manage

Consider referral when a patient’s symptoms are not fully explained or resolved, or when progress in treatment has plateaued. Common referral indicators include headaches with reading, difficulty concentrating, dizziness in visually stimulating environments, double vision, or ongoing symptoms after concussion. Patients with “normal” eye exams may still have functional vision deficits that require specialized evaluation.

When to refer a patient

Our care is centered on a brain-based model of vision, focusing on how the eyes and brain work together rather than eyesight alone. We assess eye movement, coordination, focusing, and visual processing, then design individualized treatment plans using vision therapy and, when appropriate, supportive lenses. This structured approach allows us to reduce symptoms, improve function, and support long-term outcomes.

Our approach to neuro-optometric care

Patients referred to our office undergo a comprehensive evaluation that goes beyond a standard eye exam, with a focus on functional and neurological aspects of vision. From there, we provide clear findings, a defined treatment plan, and consistent communication with your office when appropriate. Our goal is to ensure your patients feel understood, supported, and confident in their path forward.
