Lori Nishida-Eugenio, O.D.

Dr. Lori Nishida-Eugenio is a developmental Optometrist who provides in-depth testing for the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems that often interfere with reading and learning. Dr. Nishida is passionate about working with children, and has four children of her own. Her son, who was a “micro-preemie” has had many developmental delays and special needs to work through. Dr. Nishida has had to play multiple roles, that of mother, vision specialist and advocate, eventually becoming a self-taught “expert” in special education. By working with her son’s many therapists, she has gained hands-on experience in the areas of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Feeding Therapy, Sensory Integration Therapy, Speech Therapy, Floor-Time Therapy and Behavioral Therapy. This has led Dr. Nishida to continue her professional education and pursue her Fellowship in Vision Therapy. With her unique combination of her family experience and professional background, Dr. Nishida has made it her personal mission to help other children and their families overcome learning–related vision problems through Vision Therapy and to advise them on how to better advocate for their children.
