Dr. Rua received her Doctorate of Optometry from Indiana University in 1999, after completing her Bachelor of Science at Molloy College. In addition to general optometry, she is passionate about helping children with vision-related learning issues such as Convergence Insufficiency, Visual perception delays and Dyslexia. She sees both pediatric and adult patients, including those with special needs.  During a vision therapy evaluation, she tests for and treats both eye coordination and perceptual issues, using the standardized Test of Visual Perception and the Developmental Eye Movement Test for tracking. As a doctor, and a homeschooling mom, she is dedicated to providing children with the ability to have an exceptional education.
