    I am nothing less than thrilled with the employees, doctors, assistants, and anyone I may have left off at Hopkins Eye Center. Dr Rose is personable, very knowledgeable, kind, understanding and a joy to work with, even if it made my symptoms get activated. The Ladies who helped me pick out my glasses where super fun, knowledgeable, pleasant and good at what they did. I HATE picking frames out and those ladies made it so fun! Thank you! But the biggest "THANK YOU" goes to Dr Rose. For the first time in 2 years, I have HOPE that I will once again be able to do the things that made me enjoy life!!! I know we just started, Dr Rose, but I know WE will go far!!!!

    Hopkins eye center is committed to excellence. Dr Rose is very thorough in her examinations. She did zbell for my son at the end of his third grade school year. He was struggling with focus. We did not realize that he had some serious vison issues until he was assessed by Dr Rose before the zbell test. He had been in glasses since he was 4 years old. After he received his glasses from zbell testing we noticed immediate improvement in focus at school no more teacher complaints! He was amazed by his vision when he first put the glasses on. Dr Rose and her staff worked very hard to get the right glasses for my son. Dr Rose was also able to diagnose and treat my son for mild proprioceptive dysfunction as well. Dr Rose is very dedicated to her patients. We are very blessed to have found Hopkins Eye Center.

    My wife experiences severe dizziness triggered by rapid eye movement to the point she loses control of her limbs and speech. We believe this situation is a result of a virus, perhaps Covid, or due perhaps to a combination of Covid and the vaccine. She has seen numerous neurologists at MUSC in Charleston, and in Greenville, SC, who have prescribed exercises and PT for her vestibular system, which is causing part of her problems. We were referred by her physical therapist to Dr. Rose Hopkins, a neuro-optometrist. The Hopkins Eye Clinic in Greenville is very clean, and extremely well equipped with modern, sophisticated instruments for assessing severe and unusual vision problems of their patients. Patients are given many vision tests to assess the extent of their problems. These evaluations and tests go far above what one experiences in a general optometry exam, and took several hours over two sessions to complete, in my wife’s case. Dr. Hopkins has been able to identify the area of the eye that are triggering my wife’s episodes of ocular gyro crisis. She has determined that the left upper temporal retina is the culprit. The retina ties into the optic nerve which in turn ties into the hypothalamus, sending autonomic signals, such as one’s fight-or-flight reactions. Rapid movements in my wife’s peripheral vision, rapidly looking upward, and specific colors will trigger my wife’s episodes. Dr. Hopkins has used syntonic filters in her treatments and evaluations and has found that green or blue lights do not cause problems, but that yellow light reflected into my wife’s right eye will immediately trigger severe episodes. Dr. Hopkins has also found that blue light filters have a pronounced calming and desensitizing effect, which works almost immediately. Dr. Hopkins has prescribed specific visual exercises for my wife using various syntonic light filters and lights that my wife does five days a week, at home. My wife has only been doing these exercises now for three weeks, but is already showing significant improvement. Different filters are used to vary specific light spectra impinging on my wife’s retina. It is hoped that these treatments will “rewire” my wife’s eye/brain connections. Dr. Hopkins has also recommended toxic cleansing. My wife and I both have been drinking freshly squeezed celery juice three times per week to help remove bodily toxins. Celery juice can reduce bodily inflammation and may be chelating heavy metal toxins in the body. I was just about to schedule another steroid shot for the arthritis in my right shoulder, but after a week of drinking fresh celery juice, my shoulder pain is totally gone! We continue to see Dr. Hopkins as well as my wife’s PT, and anticipate continued improvement. John Y. Daniels, Gaffney, SC.
