Dr. Craig H. Witte

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear colleague and friend, Dr. Craig Witte. Dr. Witte passed away on July 3, 2007 after a brief illness. Dr. Witte changed many lives with his expertise in vision development and vision therapy.

Dr. Witte graduated in 1972 from the Illinois College of Optometry. After spending one year in a large practice working with visual therapy, he moved to Bloomington to join his father in practice. He had a special interest in children's vision, developmental vision, and visual training.

Dr. Witte spent a great deal of time educating teachers and parents about vision development and the effects of vision on learning. He helped many children with learning related vision problems as well as persons with traumatic brain injury and stroke who suffered from visual problems. He enjoyed a warm relationship with his patients and will be greatly missed.
