Northwest Vision Development Center, a new optometry clinic, opened July 5 at 1616 Cornwall Ave, Suite 105.

Owner Peter Charron offers standard eye exams, but specializes in vision therapy, which uses non-surgical treatments for eyesight problems such as trouble focusing and tracking.

“We treat vision problems that affect reading and learning. It’s kind of like physical therapy for the eyes,” Charron said.

This is the first time that Charron, a native of New England, has opened his own practice. For more information, call Northwest Vision Development Center at (360) 393-4479.
