ABOUT US
Cedar Rapids Vision In Motion (CRVIM) started in September 2008, as a program of the nonprofit Spanda Inc.
We combine the professional expertise of occupational therapy with optometry for an all-encompassing, holistic approach. Our mission is to provide comprehensive vision wellness and rehabilitation services to all of our community members regardless of their personal situations through state-of-the-art equipment and innovative programming.
Our programs are designed to develop the client's visual skills and improve the way in which the brain interprets the visual information while "the body is in motion". This will translate into better performance in play, school, athletics, work and other daily living activities. There is something for everyone!
We specialize in serving:
- individuals with low vision,
- individuals with vision problems due to a stroke or brain injury,
- and children who have learning difficulties due to vision problems.
Through our nonprofit, we strive to serve those who are uninsured or underserved in our community by offering a sliding fee scale and scholarships (when available) to ensure all individuals can take part in our programming. Our clinic also accepts insurances, including Medicare and Iowa Medicaid.
Included within our all-encompassing approach, Cedar Rapids Vision In Motion is proud to offer community workshops and continuing education conferences on the latest research and treatment techniques pertaining to vision rehabilitation.
Hours of Operation
The Cedar Rapids Vision In Motion Clinic is open daily by appointment Monday through Friday with extended hours on Tuesday/Thursday evenings. The clinic also houses a low vision retail store with hours Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
