Long Island Optometric Vision Development

Dr. Aquije exceeded our expectations. The Doctor conducted an in depth examination for my adult daughter, and due to a cancellation was able to also conduct testing. At the end of the day Dr. Aquije furnished a preliminary report with recommended accommodations for my daughter at her workplace. We heartily recommend the long Island Optometric Vision Development for the go to practice to meet all your vision needs. The Beckers.

As a former special education teacher/school board member, child advocate, mom of 3 neuroamazing humans and a current patient (actually, she has evaluated my entire immediate family!), I highly recommend Dr. Bessler. Her expertise, caring and comprehensive vision evaluation go well beyond the “usual” routine eye exam to identify not only visual acuity (the 20/20 test) but how well the eyes scan, coordinate, process visual information and more. This is especially important as part of a thorough evaluation process for individuals experiencing developmental learning challenges. In the spring of 2023, Dr. Bessler diagnosed my then 9th grader with a convergence insufficiency, recommending glasses with specific lenses, vision therapy with her incredible team and accomodations to be included in

MD Blesser is a wonderful doctor. My 5 year son is a patient of hers for almost a year now and I can’t say enough about how kind and patient she is with him. She is very giving of her time. You always feel like she is giving you her undivided attention and will explain things clearly. She assisted me with the paperwork for getting my son vision services. I had called the office when I had a problem and she called me back the same day. I feel nowadays you’re lucky if a doctor will get back to you in a week or even return your phone call at all.

My son is blessed to be one of her patients. He’s a

At the recommendation of my occupational therapist, my son was evaluated by Dr. Bessler when he was in second grade. He was not reading or writing properly and could not copy or spell (his visual memory was poor) despite intense intervention. Additionally, he did not engage in any visual tasks (puzzles, word finds, or sports). Dr. Bessler identified his issues and recommended vision therapy. (He had 20/20 vision) We had vision therapy sessions twice a week for 16 weeks and practiced every day. (The practice is key to success! Parents who say it does not work may not be following through!). In four month's time he had astounding results! When she reevaluated him, she said he did not need more therapy. (I was willing to continue with more sessions, but Dr. Bessler said we would wait and s

Hands down the best vision specilaist on Long Island!! Ive been with Dr Bessler for 3 years now. She is very knowledgeable, professional and patient. She takes her time, you will not feel rushed and she really listens. She goes over and beyond and truly cares deeply about her patients. You don't get this from doctors these days. If you need an eye doc/vision therapy, make an appt with Dr B!!!
