"I could write pages and pages about what a wonderful place Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare is. I have struggled for as many years as I can remember with eye problems. I have seen countless eye doctors and a few very well known eye specialists. I was about to think I was going to live the rest of my life with my problems. My husband happened to go to Clarendon Vision about a year ago. He was so highly impressed with them that he suggested I, too, give them a chance. I did, and the rest is history. My symptoms went from a 10 to a one. Their dedication is far better than I have ever seen at a doctor’s office. and that applies to my doctor, Dr. Dana Shannon, as well as, every single one of her staff members. I cannot recommend Clarendon Vision highly enough. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you, Dr. Dana Shannon & Staff!"

"They are a life-saver! No one could figure out what was wrong with my eyes. Clarendon suggested the Neurolens, and they work great! My eyes are working better, much less fatigued, and my vision is clearer and stronger. Try Clarendon, you won't regret it."
Kamil
"My daughter goes to Clarendon for Ortho-K treatment, and I could not be happier with literally everything there. The doctors are wonderful, the thoroughness of the care is amazing, and special shout out to Merideth who is so kind, helpful, and funny, and makes every checkup a breeze. I can't recommend it more highly!"
Brittany
"Clarendon Vision has been great with my children for the last 5 years! The staff is super friendly, and they really get to know their patients. The kids not only get their annual exams but have received other services like vision therapy. We recently started Ortho-K lenses with much success because of Meredith and Dr. Shannon’s help and guidance. We have seen all of the doctors and have been satisfied with the level of service and care they have offered."

"I had a mind blowing eye doctor's appointment today. I did an amazing 1 hour appointment where they tested all this really cool stuff to test my vision and the neurological part of it too. The care that I received was beyond exceptional, taking the time to explain the details of the tests and my results. I have never been to an eye doctor like this before, and it has opened my eyes (ha!) to what I have been missing. Cutting edge technology and techniques paired with an amazing staff from beginning to end. Highly recommended!"
Joe
"Absolutely loved every staff member I came across! Beautiful office, nice updated equipment. Doctor Novakovich was very good at explaining, making sure all my questions were answered, and accurately diagnosing the problems with my eyes. We laughed and had great conversations and made me feel valued and comfortable. She performed extensive testing which made me feel like I was truly being treated and examined which is great. I recommend them to anyone to be honest! Fantastic staff and fantastic office."
Kellie
"Dr. Shannon provided an exceptional experience during my visit. I had been struggling with dry eyes for quite some time. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and caring in addressing my concerns. The treatment plan recommended significantly improved my condition. The staff at the clinic were also friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the dry eye services for anyone seeking top-notch eye care."
Daniel
"I had the most incredible time at Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was going to be taken care of, and that's saying something about their exceptional patient care. Dr. Novakovich went above and beyond, leaving no stone unturned in addressing my persistent headaches and vision concerns that had previously gone undiagnosed elsewhere.
And let's talk about their optical selection—it was full of fun options! The opticians were not just helpful, but also incredibly patient, kind, and informative every step of the way.
To say I'm thrilled with my experience would be an understatement. I wholeheartedly recommend Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare to everyone! It's a solid 10/10 from me."
Maria
"I travel 38 miles to Clarendon Vision because of their Neuro-Optometry practice, and it is worth the effort! All of the doctors and staff are exceptional. They offer a very personalized experience, take their time to do a thorough examination, and are extremely professional. I never feel like they are trying to push me to buy glasses or other products. I am always treated with the utmost kindness and care. For example, when I had my last appointment I arrived late due to heavy traffic from an accident, luckily they were able to accommodate me especially since I was already 1.5 hours into the trip. Even though my appointment extended beyond their closing time, the optical specialist helped me choose a pair of glasses without feeling rushed. Just one example of how they go above and beyond. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Highly recommended!!!"
Patricia
"I returned for an annual visit, and I’m always so impressed with the team at Clarendon Vision! They are very knowledgeable, professional, and comprehensive with all of their tools to examine the eye health. Something popped up on my evaluation, and this amazing team was able to quickly add the additional services that I needed. So I could walk away for my appointment today Knowing my eyes are healthy and I am OK. Thank you so much to this great team For helping me continue my path for healthy eyes"
Betsy
"Our experience with everyone at Clarendon Vision had been wonderful; from the moment we walked in, they welcomed us and made us feel at home. They have provided my daughter with an amazing service. They are very professional and serious at what they do. Thank you Clarendon Vision!"
Yesenia
"Our son’s life drastically changed for the better after being properly diagnosed and treated at Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare. The entire staff is phenomenal! Thorough and caring doctors, approachable and communicative care coordinator, support staff, and vision therapists. Special shout out to Vanessa who regularly worked with our son. She is patient and kind and made vision therapy fun for our child so he could function at his best!"

"I've been going to Clarendon Vision for 7 years. Dr. Spokas is highly knowledgeable and has a wonderful bedside manner. Her staff are very professional and customer focused. I am currently using Ortho-K lenses for my daily vision needs, 6 years, and the Neurolens for migraines. What a relief! I suffered migraines for months with visual auras. It is amazing how awful you feel when your eyes aren't working correctly. Dr. Spokas knew immediately what to test for. I've been wearing the Neurolens for about 9 months now, and my migraines are basically non existent. My daughter was previously prescribed vision therapy and prism glasses. One of my daughter's eyes started to wonder out. Her eyes are fixed, and she no longer needs glasses. It's great to know that whatever vision issues my family has Dr. Spokas and her team can provide help! Thank you!!"

Kelly
"I had a TIA on Friday and needed to be seen by specialists within a week for bad headaches and blurred vision. My regular place I used to go to was going to have me wait about 3 weeks. Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare saw me the day after my daughter made my appointment. Dr. Novakovich was very knowledgeable and amazing! Spent a long time doing tests and explaining everything along the way. I never had such an extensive exam - and they have top of the line equipment so you don't have to go through dilated and blurry eyes for hours. I was extremely satisfied and comfortable and would highly recommend them. I am so impressed that I probably won't be going back to my previous place for eye care."
Judy
"I highly recommend Clarendon Vision. My son and I both work with Dr. Novakovich, and she is patient, kind, and thorough. My son needed vision therapy, and in working with Dr. Novakovich and Vanessa, his double vision and headaches have been resolved.
Whether you need an annual exam or more in depth treatment, Clarendon Vision is a fantastic office."
Kaitlyn
“Everyday life has gotten a lot easier after vision therapy. I had suffered 4 concussions in a 1 year span playing college volleyball. As a result of my last concussion, I got post traumatic vision syndrome. Headaches were constant, I was very sensitive to light, reading was very difficult, strained eyes, and the symptoms went on and on. Balancing my life and managing college level work became extremely difficult. I was told I needed vision therapy and found Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare. I started therapy this summer and have felt pretty amazing results after just 9 sessions. My headaches have calmed down a lot, reading has gotten more comfortable, eye teaming, and just my overall life has gotten easier. Vision therapy has helped me feel like myself again, which after 3 consecutive concussions seemed impossible. I’m very thankful for the progress I’ve made during vision therapy and I continue therapy this Fall then I go back to school. I will no longer be playing volleyball, but I will be helping out with the team as a student assistant.”
Morgan
"Before Taylor started vision therapy, it was a real struggle to get her to do anything regarding schoolwork or reading. She would have headaches and complain that the letters and numbers moved on the page. After the first couple of weeks of vision therapy, she asked to go to the library and pick out some books – at that moment, we knew that better things were yet to come for Taylor.
Since she started vision therapy, we have seen such a vast improvement in her confidence, her ability to read, and willingness to learn. She is happy to go to school and excited for what each day brings. Clarendon Vision has helped her get on the right track towards academic excellence, higher confidence, and just an overall happier child. ”
Parent of Taylor (age 9)
"Vision therapy has saved me from getting horrible headaches and eye strain, which used to cause me to lose focus on my school work. Just a couple weeks of eye therapy, and I noticed that I followed directions, especially on my math tests, much more carefully. This led to an improvement of my grades!
Vision therapy has also helped me feel much more confident while driving at night. No more blurry streets and stop lights!"
Vision Therapy Graduate
"Thank you to Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare. Joshua’s reading has improved. He is eager to pick up a book and try to read it. His ability to keep his place while reading is better. His comprehension has improved a little bit but is still a work in progress.
Before vision therapy, he was clumsy, knocking over his glass always when it was filled with water or milk. Now, he is not as clumsy as he used to be.
He has greater body awareness, spatial discrimination, and improvement in right-left orientation. His teacher said during our parent-teacher conference that focus has improved as well as concentration in the classroom, especially during “round-table/class group work” compared to last year.
Kudos to all the staff of Clarendon Vision Advanced EyeCare!"
Parent of Joshua
“Before vision therapy, my son had a very hard time staying focused in school and could not read for more than a few minutes at a time. While vision therapy was a big commitment and required a lot of hard work, we feel it has really been worth the effort. My son seems to be able to pay attention more in school, and since starting therapy, he has completed 3 full chapter books completely on his own. He is a more confident reader, and with the help of the online reading program, he is now reading faster as well.
Thank you, Dr. Spokas! "
