What do I see when I look at a VT Patient's Problem?

As a clinician trained in visual science, I was heavily conditioned to look at an eye problem in a diagnostic way. Later, with coaching from Behavioural Optometric colleagues, I learned to convert the visual diagnostic terms into behaviours. In this way, patients better understood the value of participating in a Vision Therapy program. After the VT program, they would behave differently in their lives. That was a great step in more effectively describing the benefits of the time… Continue

MORE EVIDENCE THAT OFFICE BASED VISION THERAPY IS THE GOLD STANDARD

One of the potential barriers for parents and patients following through on office based programs of VT is the claim that home based VT is just as effective. There has been a subtle shift in the position of detractors of VT, most notably among some pediatric ophthalmologists, who have abandoned outright criticism of VT. It also has bearing on third party denials for coverage of VT.



For example, one formerly outspoken critic of Optometry now actually Rxs plus lenses for near when the… Continue

Vision and Autism in Autism-Asperger's Digest Sept-Oct 2009

Kudos to Patty Lemer for having the lead article in the September-October 2009 Autism-Asperger's Digest!

http://www.autismdigest.com/ourlatestissue/tabid/59/Default.aspx



Patty was a featured speaker on vision and autism at the COVD meeting last year, and authored a book on the subject with OEP last year as well. The timing of Patty's article in the A-AD is nice because it dovetails with the current OVD theme issue on Autism Spectrum Disorders.



The Tipping Point is… Continue

Teachers need to be on the look-out...Signs and Symptoms of a Vision-Related Learing Problem

I just posted an article on EXCELerated Vision for teachers to be on the look-out for the signs, symptoms and behaviors of a vision related learning problem.



The emphasis on this piece is more than the fact that these children have symptoms, it is important for teachers to know that these vision problems have a medical diagnosis and that treatment is office-based vision therapy. Check it out and as always please feel free to… Continue
