calgary vision therapy's optometrist

Dr. Brent W. Neufeld graduated from the University of  Waterloo School of Optometry in 1997. While associating at a large  multi-doctor practice in the lower mainland British Columbia and then  later in a smaller rural Alberta practice, Dr. Neufeld identified many  visual dysfunctions (including kids with learning difficulties) that  could be improved or corrected but not by glasses alone.  These clinics  he worked at did not invest in nor provide these remediation services.  Consequently, Dr. Neufeld chose to invest significant time and resources  into additional education into the specialty area of optometric vision  therapy.

In 2003, he opened his own optometric practice where he offered optometric vision therapy treatment as part of his full scope primary care optometric practice.

Dr. Neufeld has a passion for remediating visual  coordination and visual processing difficulties through optometric  vision therapy and perceptual learning. Seeing the changes (success  stories) seen in his patient's lives continues to fuel this passion.  He  dedicates many hours each year to continue to learn more in how he can  best help you or your child achieve his/her potential.

Seeing the increasing need for vision training  services, he opened Calgary Vision Therapy in 2010. Calgary Vision  Therapy is Alberta's first vision therapy only practice. The facility at  Calgary Vision Therapy is just over 2300 square feet and completely  dedicated to vision therapy and perceptual learning evaluations and  treatment services.  At this office, you will not see any eyeglass  frames or contact lenses for sale.  We concentrate solely on therapeutic  management on specific visual dysfunctions.  Whether it is learning difficulty related or sports vision enhancement training or post-concussion / traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, we are here to help you  achieve your potential. 

Calgary Vision Therapy is also a  learning center where seminars are hosted on a variety of optometric  evaluation and treatment topics where other optometrists and vision therapists receive training. Due to current restrictions due to COVID, these training seminars have been postponed, but vision training at Calgary Vision Therapy is still occurring.

Dr. Neufeld also provides lectures to schools,  teachers, parent groups and other professionals who are interested in  topics such as Vision and Learning.  Are you interested in having Dr. Neufeld speak at your next meeting?  Email Dr. Neufeld with your request.

Dr. Neufeld was born and raised in Red Deer,  Alberta.  He resides in Calgary with his wife Marla and two young  daughters.  In his free time he enjoys coaching his daughter's hockey  team (Go Eagles Go!), playing hockey, piano and guitar, and spending  time with his family.
