His advanced training uniquely enables him to serve children and adults, especially those with complex visual disorders.

Dr. Forgnoni is certified by PRIO corporation to treat Computer Vision Syndrome. He has lectured and authored on many vision related topics.

Dr. Forgnoni is a member of the American Optometric Association's Sports Vision Section, and he has volunteered in 1997 for the Jr. Olympics Vision Evaluation Team. His unique training in vision therapy can dramatically improve sports vision performance for athletes of all ages.

Dr. Forgnoni is also certified by Bausch & Lomb in Vision Shaping Treatment (VST). VST enables patients to wear rigid contacts at night while the cornea is gently flattened and re-shaped. Then, in the morning the contacts are removed, and the patient's vision is improved without the need to wear glasses or contacts throughout the day. For many patients this is a safer and more economical alternative than laser surgery.
