Reviews of Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care (Ophthalmologist)

Jodi Flurry

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Lott and her staff at Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care. While treatment for all three of my children has been incredible, I am still amazed by the results I have seen in my youngest son, Ryan. With your patience, I would like to give you an idea of what these wonderful people can do in a child’s life. Last year in kindergarten, Ryan began exhibiting problems both academically and physically. Along with falling behind academically in reading, he was constantly getting injured on the playground. For his problems with academics, I had him evaluated by his school district and The DuBard School for Language Disorders. While both evaluations showed no major problems that required special education intervention per their guidelines, Dubard’s testing indicated a possible problem with spacial awareness. Because of this, I called our family’s occupational therapist to see if she thought occupational therapy might be helpful. After explaining Ryan’s history, she suggested we see Dr. Lott at Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care. Best referral ever made!! Dr. Lott evaluated Ryan while he was wearing his corrective glasses that were providing him with 20/30 vision. I mention this because I would like to stress the fact that even though your vision is corrected with glasses, you can STILL have significant visual problems. Ryan’s vision is a perfect example of this. After Dr. Lott completed her evaluation, she informed us that Ryan not only saw his physical surroundings shifted significantly downward and to the right, he had zero depth perception, AND his visual field was very constricted. His visual field was so constricted that it was as if Ryan was looking at the world through a paper towel tube. Can you imagine trying to learn and play at school with that visual picture? After the evaluation, we immediately put him in Vision Therapy along with Syntonic Therapy. What a difference this has made! Not only has his teacher seen an improvement, but I have as well. Just the other day when I picked him up from school, he hopped in the car with his AR book and read it ALL THE WAY HOME because he was ENJOYING IT! This was HUGE! Was this the same child that just months earlier would have major meltdowns when just asked to LOOK at a book?!? Thanks to Dr. Lott and her staff the answer is YES! Best of all, since the therapy, we have had no more visits to the ER! Dr. Lott and her staff at Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care are extraordinary. Along with being professional and very knowledgeable, they have such a sincere concern for all of their patients. I cannot thank Dr. Lott and her staff enough for what they have done for my family. The Hattiesburg area is so extremely fortunate to have them treating our children. I will always be grateful!

Dr Megan Lott is amazing! My daughter has multiple disabilities and she did not once hesitate to treat her. We had been to two other pediatric ophthalmologists, one which wrote her off and one which advised us to go to the Low Vision clinic, before we found Dr Lott. Dr Lott understood what my focus was for my daughter’s vision and worked to come up with a plan to help her have the best use of her functional vision. We got her glasses this afternoon and she hasn’t stopped looking around and smiling and giggling since! Thank you from this mama’s heart for giving my daughter a whole new world!

If your child has been struggling in school, I encourage you to bring them here before you do anything else. My daughter had vision issues beyond the usual 20/20 that were inhibiting reading comprehension, writing, and focus. I was completely surprised after her first evaluation with Dr. Lott because I believed she was making huge progress in school. When I had measured tests with a plan to treat and improve each one my daughter’s challenges, I knew we had come to the right place. She just did her final evaluation, and her progress over twelve weeks of therapy was astounding. I wish we had brought her here years ago. I’m so very grateful for the wonderful therapists at Belle Vue who were so sweet and patient with my girl. Please give the office a call. They are so great to answer any questions you may have. Again, I cannot recommend this place enough. I am so thankful for Dr. Lott and for what vision therapy has done for my daughter.

My son was struggling in school and had very little confidence in himself. Dr. Lott and the staff at Belle Vue were the help that he needed! The results of his vision therapy amaze me! Homework is no longer an ordeal and he is now an honor roll student. He is now very confident and doesn’t approach things with an “I can’t” attitude. I honestly believe that the vision therapy he received at Belle Vue will help him succeed in life!
