The Vision Source Office of Dr. Gall

Dr. Gall has extensive experience and education. Originally from Windsor, Ontario, he received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Waterloo in 1988 and then studied at the University of Houston College of Optometry earning his Doctorate in 1993.

After 1993, Dr. Gall practiced part-time in Houston, Texas while he continued to research binocular vision (eye alignment and focus ability) at the University of Houston . He completed his Master of Vision Science in 1995.

In November 1995, Dr. Gall purchased this current practice from Dr. Bohnsack and Dr. Steffler.

In December 1998, Dr. Gall received his Fellowship from the American Academy of Optometry, a distinction only 5 percent of optometrists have earned for advancing their profession after entering practice. He continues to do clinical research and publish peer-reviewed research articles to promote better patient care.

I care for my patients. My interest in optometric practice stems from a genuine desire to care for the visual problems of patients and emphasizes a never ending effort to be certain that they receive the optimum treatment. I strive to be certain that my patients understand their visual condition, are aware of the treatment options, and receive optimal care from my office and other professionals to whom I refer.
