335 Park Ave, Worcester“After a serious brain injury, I went through a year of cognitive, speech, and occupational therapy, along with prescription migraine medication. Despite all of this, I was still at my wits’ end. I couldn’t see consistently or use my eyes for long periods of time without severe neurological side effects. My double vision and diplopia were ruining my ability to drive, work, and manage daily life. I couldn’t keep track of appointments or use my executive functioning skills. My world had become so small.
Before my injury, I was working full time, getting promoted, in graduate school, and raising two young children. Afterward, even simple tasks felt impossible. My occupational therapist recommended that I see Dr. Thamel for visual therapy after I completed OT. I had already been denied prism lenses by a previous eye doctor, despite my full medical team recommending them. I felt desperate.
From my very first appointment, Dr. Thamel believed me. He tested my eyes thoroughly, used objective measurements, and provided me with the glasses (Neurolens) and visual therapy I truly needed. Over three months of training my eyes and brain with the incredible staff in the visual therapy office, I made progress I didn’t think was possible. At my post-therapy evaluation, I passed all my exams — but more importantly, I got my life back.
Today, I can work 9-hour days, four days a week. I can parent my little ones without overwhelming fatigue. I went from barely being able to drive 30 minutes to driving to New York and back. My diplopia is minimal, and I’m no longer closing my eyes when someone crosses my line of vision.
Cognitive, speech, and occupational therapy — along with medications — couldn’t get me to where I am today. But Dr. Thamel’s evaluation, belief in me, and treatment plan did. My life feels so much closer to normal again because of him and his team.
Thank you to Dr. Thamel and the entire Vision Source team — you gave me back my independence, my confidence, and my quality of life.“

59 Auburn St, Auburn“Its a small place but the staff and the Dr were very friendly and very informative. Dr.Mike Larson was very thorough and let you know if you had anything wrong with your eyes and what you needed to get for glasses or if you needed any other treatment. Tracey who had had helped me with finding glasses was awesome. She made you feel good about the glasses you chosen and if you had a really hard time finding a pair she had the knowledge of what you might like. She is very knowledgeable with how the insurances work and if you need any help she can help directed you to get any help. I would definitely recommend going to Auburn Vision center. Its a small place but they make you feel like family“
