Hi, I'm Dr. Brenda!

My goal is to help 2 million struggling students SEE their potential by showing them how to use the POWER of VISION to make learning fun and easy, by December 2030.

I remember years ago as a young parent I was faced with trying to help my kids be successful students. Every night we had arguments about what homework assignments they had, and we were frustrated trying to get them all finished before bedtime. Sometimes we had to get up early in the morning to finish everything.

I decided to dedicate my life to helping my kids, as well as the thousands of children I see in my optometric practice, make learning easier. I empower parents to help their students by using my Visual Secrets for School Success.

I also teach these Visual Secrets to other optometrists so their struggling student patients can benefit from them, and have more time for fun, friends and family.

Since 1995 we have impacted thousands of families around the world who have learned…

  • There are are over 40 visual skills important for learning, only one is 20/20 eyesight.

  • When vision performs at its peak, learning is easier.

  • When the eyes tell the brain HOW to think, learning becomes efficient.

  • When the eyes send incomplete or disconnected information to the brain, learning takes too much time, which creates frustration.

When you SEE MORE (Better Vision), you can BE & DO MORE (Better Life), and then have time to GIVE MORE (Better World).

Join me in helping more people throughout the world identify, develop and build their vision to make learning easier. I look forward to working together with you to help struggling students use vision to improve learning!
