Vision Therapy for Brain Injury, Kids’ Learning & Adult Vision with Dr. Yeung Olson

Creating a lifestyle of wellness that supports learning, healing, and daily comfort often starts with understanding how our brain, nervous system, and vision work together.

In this episode, Lauren is joined by Dr. Yeung Olson, Erie resident, mom of four, and co-owner of Peek to Peak Vision & Boutique in Lafayette, CO. Dr. Yeung Olson is an optometrist with a functional, integrative approach to vision care, holding a Doctorate from Pacific University College of Optometry and a Master’s in Education in Visual Function in Learning. She shares how vision challenges are often misunderstood—and how addressing the root cause can be life-changing.

This conversation offers a fresh perspective on vision, reminding us that symptoms like headaches, eye strain, fatigue, and difficulty focusing are not something people simply have to “push through.” With the right support, vision can improve, and quality of life can be restored.

In this episode, we explore:
What binocular vision disorder is and why it often goes undiagnosed
Common symptoms in children and adults
How vision therapy works and who it can help
The relationship between the nervous system, stress, and vision
Vision therapy for traumatic brain injury, Lyme, Long-COVID, and dysautonomia
Simple daily practices to reduce stress-related vision symptoms
Peek to Peak Vision & Boutique’s new practice in Lafayette
How workshops like kindergarten readiness and brain injury recovery sessions support the community
