In 2014, Dr. Shah founded this vision therapy clinic, driven by his personal experiences with strabismus, amblyopia, and ADHD. As a child, he faced the challenge of finding accessible vision therapy in the Central Valley, making trips to San Francisco an unfeasible option for his family. This passion for helping others has led him to not only overcome his own vision challenges but also to successfully treat many others through vision therapy.
Dr. Shah's commitment to improving lives through vision therapy has earned him numerous recognitions, including the prestigious Partners in Education award from the California School Nurses Organization in 2024. His dedication to his patients and his community continues to inspire and make a lasting impact.
