During Vision Therapy I had a Realisation!

Learning the physical practices of monocular, biocular and binocular procedures was easy. I was told that my convergence was improving. I could physically see that the letters were jumping less in the words. My memory for what I was reading increased.



Then one day, under a moment of distress, and feeling out of control, one of the greatest realisations of my visual rehabilitation program occurred. My vision therapist, Dr. Roberto Pepper, had me process tachistoscopic numbers flashed… Continue

Are vision problems related to conditions of the mind?

A recent study published in an Ophthalmological Journal draws a strong relationship between Intermittent Exotropia in children and later in life behaviour that is considered a mental disorder.



These findings are of great interest to me as a functional and developmental Optometrist. For over 40 years of my professional career, I was conditioned to believe that information travelling through the eye… Continue

I have posted a blog article on this point inviting an inversion of our thinking. I trust this will help those of us involved in daily vision… Continue

The problems in administering Vision Therapy

When I started administering vision therapy, I was very focused on the technique and what vision skill I was training. As I undertook vision therapy myself for my exotropia and diplopia, I realised that each technique I mastered opened up an emotional side of myself. This is the real power of vision therapy. The human being opens up to their real self.



My dilemma was the unknown. What technique of practise has what effect and how will I or the patient respond or react? It is so easy… Continue

Integrated Vision Therapy

You may ask, what is Integrated Vision Therapy?



After many years of doing conventional vision therapy, my patients confronted me for explanations why their eyesight kept getting worse. For me this question became an invitation. To look beyond my techniques and go into the human part of the patient, their intimate lives, their perceptions. I did this and discovered the most amazing relationships.
