Dr. Samantha Slotnick takes a holistic approach to vision care, for all ages. She and the entire team at “Mind-Body-World Optometry” help patients maximize their natural ability to see with clarity, comfort, and open awareness for space. Her practice specializes in vision therapy and rehabilitation for a broad range of vision problems which interfere with reading, learning, attention, performance and efficiency. They facilitate an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to patient care.

I was “born” to do this work, with personal challenges interfering with my binocular vision. Through vision therapy (VT), I retrained my brain to coordinate my eyes, and enhanced my ability to process visual and spatial information.

I bring a unique blend of knowledge and experience to the Art and Science of Behavioral Optometry. I am a sought-after lecturer, renowned for my communication skills and ability to relate personal habits and patterns to people’s use of their visual systems. 

I have a great facility in connecting with children and “children of all ages.” Patients are often surprised by the natural positive boost in reading comprehension and efficiency at work/school which comes along with the functional benefits of therapeutically designed glasses. Alleviation of stress in the head, neck and eyes naturally redistributes energy for cognitive processing. Many of our patients are also benefiting from lenses which improve posture, gait and freedom of movement (myself included!).

After 10 years in Westchester, we have been blessed to witness the rewarding long-term impacts of vision therapy on many of our patients’ educational trajectory. We are striving towards greater community education, so that we may reach more children whose vision problems interfere with their ability to read, learn and attend with comfort and ease.
