Dr. Roser has practiced as a behavioral optometrist within the specialty of vision therapy since her graduation from optometry school. She graduated with highest academic achievement from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1987. Her first five years out of school she worked in a private practice in Reading, Pennsylvania, which offered vision therapy as an option of treatment for visual dysfunctions. Her interests gravitated to this area of the practice and she was delighted to join Dr. Scott Weaver in his practice where she could devote her time exclusively to using vision therapy to treat individuals with visual difficulties which could not be addressed with glasses. Her role in the practice is diagnosing and directing treatment (vision therapy) for strabismus (a turned eye), amblyopia (lazy eye), visual skill difficulties, and vision-related learning difficulties.

In 1992, Dr. Roser completed the requirements necessary to become a Fellow in the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, the equivalence of being Board Certified in Vision Therapy. Since then, she has also been on staff at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital as a consultant for their patients who have visual disturbances secondary to brain injury. She is also a member of the American Optometric Association, the Pennsylvania Optometric Association, and the Chairman for the Reading Seminar for Advanced Behavioral Vision. Dr. Roser has lectured to many groups in Pennsylvania including seminars for occupational therapist, educators, and parent groups.

Being a native to York, Dr. Roser is happy to provide this unique service of vision therapy to her home town.

What is your specialty?

Behavioral Optometry: the art and science of addressing individual's visual needs where glasses/contacts are not enough to support or develop visual skills used in every day life.

What do you enjoy the most about your career at Weaver Eye Associates?

I sincerely and whole heartedly enjoy providing a unique service to a community in which individuals can more fully reach their potential by having the best visual skills possible. There can be no greater pleasure than having people tell me that they enjoy reading, they can read again, they do not fall down the steps anymore, they no longer have headaches, or that they can play ball better.
