About
The Padula Institute of Vision (PIV) was created to provide excellence in neuro-optometric rehabilitation for children and adults with reading and learning disabilities as well as for those persons who have neurological problems caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, (CVA), autism (ASD), chronic fatigue syndrome, (CFIDS), multiple sclerosis (MS), and cerebral palsy (CP), to name several. In addition, low vision rehabilitation is offered to serve those who have a vision impairment caused by macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, etc. Often persons who have these types of problems will have vision difficulties that interfere with reading and learning. For those who are neurologically challenged or visually impaired, problems with balance, dizziness (vertigo), glare sensitivity, panic attacks and reduced sight can often be caused by visual problems that are treatable. PIV will also provide an integrated approach with occupational therapy, speech therapy and reading and educational therapy available, as needed.

MY VISIT AS USUAL WAS GOOD
COMING FROM ALMOST 2 HOURS AWAY, TIMING AND GETING MY CARE GIVER TO DRIVE ME IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT

After 17 years of wandering in the wilderness of medical misdiagnosis, tremendously costly treatments and many emotional roller-coaster rides, Dr. Padula was able to precisely pinpoint the problems and chart the way forward in terms of treatment for my daughter.
By the second day of treatment, using a particular application, she noticed a difference in her vision for the better.
There's a fresh breeze of hopefulness and joy blowing through the life of, not only my daughter, but our entire family, friends and all connected to her.
The staff are courteous, friendly and helpful and was able to recommend suitable accommodation, transport services, source medical records etc.
There's light at the end of the tunnel.

I was having a lot of vision problems after a car accident. I saw several doctors and they couldn't seem to figure out what was wrong with me. Fortunately, I ended up seeing Dr. Padula and my problem was correctly diagnosed. This has meant a lot to me because now I can get the appropriate rehabilitation to make the best recovery that I can. Dr. Padula and his whole staff were a pleasure to deal with. I recommend them highly!

Dr. Padula has worked miracles for me over the years, with multiple prisms in my glasses & superb neuro-optometric skills. I saw his new associate at this visit and am impressed with his knowledge, open-mindedness & congeniality.

Dr. Padula addresses issues that no other optometrist seems to pay attention to, despite the basics (elements like focus, magnification, and prism angle) are available to all optometrists. Really wonderful experience.
