Doctors
Dr. Amanda Zeller Manley
OD, FOVDRA
Dr. Amanda Zeller Manley has served as CEO and Clinical Director since 2006. She earned her Doctorate of Optometry with honors from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Dr. Manley developed a personal interest in vision therapy and vision development after being referred to a vision therapy clinic for headaches she experienced while working on the computer. That experience helped shape her understanding that vision is more than seeing 20/20.
She completed an externship with an emphasis in binocular vision at Tianjin Medical University’s Tianjin Eye Hospital in China, where she studied under Dr. Kanxing Zhao, a world-renowned expert in strabismus, strabismus surgery, and ophthalmic genetics.
Before joining the practice, Dr. Manley provided primary eye care in San Diego, California, and the greater Washington, DC, area. She is board certified in vision therapy, vision development, and vision rehabilitation through the Optometric Vision Development & Rehabilitation Association, formerly known as the College of Optometrists in Vision Development.
Dr. Manley lectures for optometrists, other professionals, parents, teachers, and community groups. She is available for speaking engagements in person and virtually.
Her clinical interests include binocular vision, pediatric functional vision, migraine-related visual symptoms, concussion, brain injury recovery, and neuro-optometric rehabilitation.
In her free time, Dr. Manley and her husband are busy raising three children ranging from elementary school to high school.
Dr. Mehrnaz Azimi Green
OD, FOVDRA
Dr. Mehrnaz Green specializes in developmental optometry, visuo-cognitive therapy, pediatric functional vision, special needs care, and neuro-optometric rehabilitation.
She works with children and adults whose visual systems affect learning, development, comfort, cognition, and daily function. She especially enjoys working with children, including infants and toddlers, and patients with developmental differences or complex visual needs.
Dr. Green has extensive training in working with children with developmental delays, including autism. She is a DIR-FCD Certified Profectum Professional in Developmental Optometry and an Intermediate DIR® Floortime™ provider.
She also has extensive knowledge of dyslexia and other learning challenges. Working memory, processing speed, fluid reasoning, and visual-spatial skills can be affected by undiagnosed vision problems. By identifying and treating visual barriers that interfere with learning, Dr. Green helps patients better access their potential.
Dr. Green also works with children and adults who have experienced concussion, brain injury, or neurological conditions that affect the visual system. These patients may experience visual symptoms that affect reading, balance, comfort, processing, and activities of daily living.
She enjoys speaking to parents and professionals about visuo-cognitive therapy and has lectured at schools, conferences, and professional symposia. She also provides continuing education to fellow optometrists and collaborates with occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language therapists, psychologists, educators, and parents.
Dr. Green is a clinical director with Special Olympics and volunteers at multiple DC-area schools. She has received national awards for her work in vision therapy and has published original peer-reviewed articles in the field.
When she is not working, Dr. Green enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two daughters.
