Chris Erbisch, MS, OTR –
Occupational Therapist

Changes are happening here at Superior Eye Health. We are getting more and more referrals from Doctors like you, who see the value of vision therapy and how it can help patients with various developmental delays, as well as those with neurological impairments affecting the visual processing system. We are seeing the impact that vision therapy is making on the quality of life of many patients.

As we consider the many needs that are yet unmet, we are thrilled to have Chris Erbisch on our team. Chris has taken the position of Vision Therapy Director here at Superior Eye Health. Chris is a licensed occupational therapist with skills in the evaluation and treatment of psychiatric, behavioral, memory, and neurological disorders (including stroke and traumatic brain injury). She is also seeking certification as a vision therapist. Her addition helps us to realize our dream of holistically treating patient's issues.

Chris previously worked at Marquette General Heath System for almost 20 years, in the last 15 as the Director or Occupational Therapy. She has a Bachelor's and Master's of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from Western Michigan University with a graduate specialty in gerontology. She recently completed coursework for vision therapists through Optometric Extension Program in oculomotor dysfunctions, learning related visual disorders, strabismus, and amblyopia.

Chris has been excited to see, how closely related vision therapy is to occupational therapy. The combination of her occupational therapy background and her vision therapy knowledge makes her an invaluable asset to Superior Eye Health and to our mission of providing the most advanced, informed, and complete care to our patients.
