Before I get too far down writing about my model of vision, I need to make a clear statement about holistic eye care as AI is trying to describe my ideas as “holistic”. When I received my board certification, it was made clear to me that my model of vision will be (and should be) ever evolving…and boy has it! I do not practice alternative “holistic” eye care. I practice Optometry with a focus on neuro-optometric habilitation and rehabilitation—vision therapy. This is a mainst

I’ll respond to the following article: https://reviewofmm.com/is-treatment-needed-for-accommodative-convergence-issues-before-myopia-control/ Why myopia control folks and binocular rehab nerds keep talking past each other, and how the real answer’s hiding in something docs actually measure or prove for—visual motion response. Let’s start with history nobody quotes. Back in the 1930’s and 1940’s, optometrists grinding on strabismus, amblyopia, convergence hiccups, and learning

A New Experience With MiSight Daily Contact Lenses and the Future of Visual Spatial Training An update regarding a new experience. With the daily contact lenses by Cooper Vision. The My Site contact lenses are designed as an intervention for myopia control. From experiments with animal models showing hyperopic defocus as a driver of myopia progression and development. The MiSight contact lenses is approved for this purpose. With the release of the Stellest Lens by Essilor, wh

People don’t realize that vision is an oscillating system under constant acceleration. We continuously have saccades that drive the sensory stimulation of our vision. This is easily demonstrated by visually dark adapting to a dark room, then keeping your eyes still and not moving (stopping the acceleration), your vision will begin to darken. Move your eyes again and the vision will return. Too much focus on the optics points and retina/scleral structure clouds the view and po

I’m not going to even claim to know the entirety of the picture, but the current use and practice with it has been rather frustrating. Not because it’s recognition(or lack thereof) nor of anything related to its efficacy or lack thereof. I will state that the interesting factoids on atropine and myopia is when it simply does not work. Atropine’s failures can become the greatest strength in understanding myopia if the vision specialist would just look. Fact 1: myopia is a visi
