Meet Your Doctor
Dr. Amber Teten, OD Your Family's Eye Doctor
Doctor of Optometry
Pediatric Specialist
Vision Therapy Expert
Practice Owner Since 2022
Hi, I’m Dr. Amber Teten, a family optometrist with a deep passion for pediatric optometry and vision therapy. I opened Navigation Eye Care in October 2022 with one mission: to give Chesapeake families an eye care experience they never thought possible from a local practice.
My husband Patrick spent years on Active Duty in the Navy, and those experiences taught us how much family truly matters. That value runs through everything we do here, we treat every patient like a member of our own family. You are never just a name on our schedule.
"We strive for our patient experience to feel welcome as friends and family, and that should not just be a tagline. It's how we have run this practice from day one."

Real Patient JOURNEY
From Frustration and Doubt to
Confidence on the Field
A real story from a parent whose son struggled with depth perception — and discovered how vision therapy improved both confidence and performance.
Aiden’s story is one of many. What began with skepticism turned into confidence, growth, and real progress both in school and on the field. If your child is struggling, a vision evaluation could uncover answers you never expected.
AIDEN's Journey
Before
“Something Didn’t Feel Right”
Before starting vision therapy, their son struggled with depth perception issues that affected daily activities and sports performance. Like many parents, they weren’t sure whether vision therapy would actually help.
The Internal Problem
“We Were Skeptical at First”
Before starting vision therapy, their son struggled with depth perception issues that affected daily activities and sports performance. Like many parents, they weren’t sure whether vision therapy would actually help.
Guide + Plan
“A Clear Plan and Consistent Therapy”
Through consistent vision therapy sessions and guidance from the Navigation Eye Care team, they began noticing gradual improvements in coordination, confidence, and visual performance.
Transformation
“Now He Sees and Plays Differently”
Today, he’s become a believer in the process. As a baseball player, his ability to track and hit the ball improved dramatically, and according to his family, vision therapy was the only major change. What started with skepticism became one of the best decisions they made for his development and confidence.
Undetected Vision Problems Can Affect More Than Eyesight
Many children and adults adapt to vision issues without realizing it. Over time, untreated symptoms can impact learning, focus, comfort, productivity, and quality of life.
- Frequent headaches
- Reading fatigue
- Difficulty focusing
- Falling behind in school
