Our Core Values

Advancing Vision Therapy & Pediatric Visual Health
Leadership in Vision Therapy
We offer vision therapy to all ages to either develop, restore or enhance vision. Vision therapy can benefit those who have been diagnosed with eye turns (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), eye tracking and eye teaming or coordination difficulties, learning-related vision issues, or injured visual systems, whether that is from concussion, stroke, or brain injury.
Dr. Polonenko personalizes her vision therapy programs for suitable candidates of all ages and walks of life that can benefit from a vision therapy treatment program.
Dr. Polonenko is known as one of the leading experts in the area for vision therapy and rehabilitation. She is regularly asked by professionals and organizations to share her expertise with colleagues at events nationwide.

Focused Pediatric Eye Care
Dr. Polonenko loves working with children and has made pediatric optometry one of her priorities in her career. With years of practical experience and teaching in pediatrics, Dr. Polonenko is qualified to offer a level of children’s eye care that goes beyond comprehensive eye exams, including visual skills assessments, special needs optometry, and more. During assessments, Dr. Polonenko makes kids comfortable by treating tests as a fun and interactive experience while exploring their vision.
Our Unique Approach
With a residency from one of the top two schools for vision therapy, and two fellowships in binocular vision and vision therapy, Dr. Polonenko has developed an approach to vision therapy that is on the cutting edge of innovation.
Visual Skills Assessments
Our visual performance is important to academic success, and overall success in daily tasks, jobs, and sports. Eye teaming, focusing, tracking and processing all work to meaningfully interpret what we see so that we can respond and interact effectively in our environment. When you visit Dr. Polonenko for a comprehensive eye exam, she uses her extensive training to determine whether these skills are diminished. If they are, Dr. Polonenko can perform an in-depth visual exploration of all your visual functional skills.

Post-Concussion Rehabilitation
Concussions can cause significant visual symptoms for many patients, because up to 70% of the brain is related to vision, whether from the visual system itself or other senses interacting with vision. Dr. Polonenko keeps current with the latest research, education, and practical treatment for the visual implications of post-concussion syndrome to best help you recover after a brain injury.
