Colin J. Kageyama, OD, FCOVD

When dealing with the soft tissue of the human body, there are no absolutes, two people with identical issues can respond in two completely different ways. Sometimes treatments work, sometimes they won’t. That’s the nature of medicine.
My daughter has amblyopia and other issues with her eyes that are too complicated to get into. Unfortunately, we didn’t hear about Dr. Kageyama until she was already 11 years old. If only we could have gotten her to him earlier, say at age 5, her eventual outcome could have been approaching 100%, but again, you’re dealing with the human body, not an automobile.
We have been working with Dr. Kageyama for the past 6 months. In that time, my daughters eyes have already shown marked, proven improvement, much greater than what would have happened naturally due to maturity. Her therapy sessions are coming to an end in a few months, and after that she’ll be under his supervision until age 15. By that time, all signs indicate that her vision will be substantially better than they ever could have if we stayed with the other Optometrists who had been utilizing traditional treatments.
Dr. Kageyamas therapy programs are intense, and require the buy in of the parents to ensure the regular visits are adhered to. The required «homework» is also as important as the visits, so don’t think this will be a walk in the park. It’s not hard, it just requires your dedication to see it through to the end.
We experienced some «sticker shock» when we entered the program, but his reputation assuaged any hesitation that we may have had, and the results that we’ve seen at this early staged have proven out that the risk was worth it. My only wish is that our previous eye doctor’s would have had the integrity to let us know that they were out of their depth when working with our daughter and simply recommended us to seek out Dr. Kageyama. Instead we had to discover him on our own and lost much valuable time in the process.
I would not hesitate to do this all over again.

In my opinion, this office is nothing more than father and son mountebanks taking advantage of a desperate parent’s hopes for some improvement. The practice is sickeningly parasitic. The progress made, if any, was nothing more than what one would expect from the natural progression in a developing child. After $ 14,000, our child had made no noticeable improvement.
Charlatans have existed for eons and it is apparent that they still exist and thrive today, even in Silicon Valley.

Dr. Colin J. Kageyama, OD, FCOVD, and his entire office staffs in Campbell are knowledgable, kind, and helpful.
Dr. Kageyama has successfully helped my 11 year old daughter to over come her vision problems: Lazy eye symptoms, eye tracking, and double vision. After completing 30 vision therapy sessions with Dr. Kageyama in March 2014, my daughter can now see clearly with both of her eyes. My daughter is able to focus in her reading. Katelynn’s reading comprehensive skills have vastly improved. My daughter is doing well at school, and, I’m grateful for Dr. Kageyama’s help.
Thank you very much, Dr. Collin J. Kageyama, Dr. Kelly Kageyama, Speech Therapists, Valerie, and entire Staffs, for all your prompt responses and help.

My son was having reading comprehension problems. When we finally understood that he had strabismus, we initially looked at surgery (seems to be the most popular option) but we didnt like the success rate or the logic of how it helped. Skeptical about vision therapy but seeing no downside, we gave Dr. Kageyama’s program a try. It took about 20 sessions to know that we had made the correct choice. My son’s reading comprehension has vastly improved and I am very thankful.

He runs the biggest vision therapy in the country, and has developed a great, organized, and logical structure for an area of optometry that few venture into and few are as well-​trained in. Dr. Kageyama is innovative and practical, helping many kids and people overcome vision problems that plague their school and work lives.

well, my son has lazy eyes (amblyopia). He went to this place for doing those eye exercises for several years since age 3or 4 years old. Each treatment about $ 2000 for like 10 sessions. After like several years of doing this exercise, there were not much improvement. And I went to another OD to check and found that what his eye precription was different from what I was told. It ended up that I have to go to the MD, Pediatric, Specialty, Ophthalmology to fix the strabismus/​amblyopia. This MD told me his correct eye prescription and saying that the golden rule for this problem is eye patches. We luckily found this out early enough and now his lazy eye problem got much improved. We save a lot of money and I felt pain that I wasted a lot of money there. Anyway, I don’t speak for others. This is just my case.

Dr. Kageyama is one of the few doctors in California that specialize in vision therapy, and he is fantastic!
A couple of years ago I noticed that my depth perception was not very good, especially at night. I knew that my eyes never worked together well (I could never see 3-​D pictures, playing ping-​pong was a nightmare because I couldn’t judge where the ball would be, etc.), so finally I decided to get my eyes checked out.
After a few months of eye exercises and driving an hour to Campbell to see Dr. K, the world became 3-​dimensional for the first time in my life. It is absolutely amazing to me how much I was missing living in a 2-​D world.
The doctors office is filled with testimonies of people who’ve benefited from his help by training their eyes to work together. Valerie, the receptionist is very sweet, and I would go for check-​ups if I lived closer.
If you’re struggling with depth perception problems, go see Dr. K!

He provides the highest level of care possible for patients with strabismus/​amblyopia or learning-​related vision problems. His staff includes people with backgrounds in education, psychology, speech, and counseling. Their motto is to help their patients «bridge the gap between potential and success»
He is one of the BEST in the COUNTRY!
