Healing Our Sight

See Differently from the Inside: Melissa Daniels on Becoming a Vision Therapist


Listen Later

 In this episode of Healing Our Sight, Denise reconnects with Melissa Daniels—vision therapist, educator, and former strabismus patient—to explore how stepping into the role of therapist changed the way she understands healing.

Melissa shares what she wishes she had known earlier in her own journey, how her perspective shifted once she began working with patients, and why the mindset we bring to vision therapy can make such a big difference.  You’ll hear them discuss:

  • How becoming a vision therapist highlighted Melissa’s understanding of her own strabismus
  • What she would do differently if she could restart her journey
  • Mindsets and habits that support consistent progress in vision therapy
  • Common beliefs or expectations that unintentionally slow down success

Whether you’re a parent navigating strabismus with your child, an adult working to improve your own vision, or a professional supporting patients, this conversation offers both hope and grounded insight into what real progress looks like.
