About Us

Good iSight Optometry and Vision Therapy is dedicated to offering specialized vision care to all family members. Our focus is providing individualized care to patients of all ages and taking the time to discuss and administer patient-focused treatments. Our founding doctor, Dr. Kalynn Good, focuses on pediatric vision care, vision therapy, and neuro-optometric rehabilitation. This office was built to create a welcoming environment for patients who are struggling with their developmental and functional visual systems. We serve pediatric patients with weekly vision rehabilitation sessions that are struggling in school because of specific visual findings that interfere with learning such as difficulties with eye teaming, focusing, tracking, and visual perception. We also serve patients who have had an acquired brain injury creating difficulties within their visual function. We aim to be a comforting and hopeful resource to our community of Parker, CO and the surrounding area. It is our greatest delight to see our patients create a more functional visual world without constant symptoms related to a dysfunctional visual system. Our office values compassion for our patients, staff, and community members. We strive to always be learning by gaining knowledge of the ever-changing world of rehabilitation and new techniques to help our patients.
