Professional Vision Therapy and Eye Care Services in San Rafael & san francisco, ca
At Rising Star Optometry, we have been dedicated to enhancing vision and improving lives for more than two decades. Established by Dr. David Grisham, a leader in vision therapy and education, our practice was designed to address the unique visual needs of children and adults alike. Under the leadership of Dr. Jeremy Shumaker, we’ve expanded our services to include advanced eye care solutions, research-driven treatments, and comprehensive support for patients of all ages.
Transforming Vision for Over 20 Years
Rising Star Optometry was founded by Dr. David Grisham nearly two decades ago with a mission to enhance patients' vision while addressing the challenges of modern life. As the long-time chief of the Binocular Vision Clinic and a lecturer at UC Berkeley School of Optometry, Dr. Grisham established the practice with a focus on vision therapy for children and adults.
In 2005, Dr. Jeremy Shumaker joined the practice, broadening its services to include comprehensive eye exams for all ages, pediatric and specialty contact lens fittings, myopia control, and vision training for sports performance and concussion rehabilitation. Since Dr. Grisham’s retirement in 2020, Dr. Shumaker has led the practice, serving as Chief of the Sports Vision and Concussion Clinic and mentoring optometry students as an assistant clinical professor.
Dr. Shumaker collaborates on cutting-edge research in vision training, sports performance enhancement, and concussion-related vision care
With two locations in San Rafael and San Francisco, our skilled optometrists and vision therapists are committed to providing exceptional care for patients of all ages. Whether improving your vision or your child’s, we’re here to help.
