Depth Perception Training

Depth perception training is very important in improving eyesight for patients who spend a lot of time on the computer. Specifically, if people are involved in Esports and gaming, they need to focus on many parts of the screen and adjust their eyes quickly.

Coordination of the Eyes

In addition to measuring the prescription for clarity in one’s glasses, one must examine how well the eyes coordinate.

Improving Investments

Principals by Ray Dalio is a book that I have read and plan on applying lots of ideas to my daily life. It has inspired me to reach further.

Archived On-line Radio Broadcasts

Over the previous few months, I was privileged to interview experts in the field of optometry and ophthalmology.  The areas discussed were very diverse.  These areas included macular degeneration and glaucoma, and concussions as they affect vision.  Areas related to severe injury to the eye as well as eye muscle surgery were discussed.  Lasik was also discussed by one of our guests.  In a totally different area,  vision problems were discussed.  Vision as relates to learning disabilities and sports performance were topics covered by several of our guests.  Areas including autism and Down’s Syndrome and being able to examine the infant were discussed.

To tune into these archived areas, please visit our website at www.ranchoeyedoctor.com.  There you would go to episode on demand and this will lead you to the particular guest.

I am really proud of these shows and I thin you will find them of interest. 

Prisms

Please click HERE to watch the video! 

A patient of mine came in with her friend. She was 20/20 – no need for Prescription. Did a peripheral vision test and notice she could not see anything to the right of her nose while each eye was covered separately. She was not blind, or blurred, she had no vision.

With her left eye covered she could not see anything to the right of her nose. With her right eye covered, she could see nothing on the right of the nose.

No right field of vision…so that tells you it’s the brain. As it turns out she had brain surgery for another condition, and that surgery resulted this condition.

Maybe the fibers that that lead from her eye to the back of the brain were severed. They performed a brain scan, they determined that there was an aneurysm. We gave her specialized glasses, known as prisms that shifted her world from left

To right. It does not correct the vision, but just shifts them. Her life was restored. She was able to drive, read, and work. Her quality of life improved dramatically.

Lesser Prescription Isn’t Always A Good Thing

Anytime there is a significant change in one’s glasses prescription over the course of a few days, a red flag should go up.  That includes even if you notice that all of a sudden you can see clearly at distance without your glasses even though before your were very blurred.  Two reasons come to mind.   One could be a reaction to change in medication.  The second reason could be a significant changes in one’s blood sugar.  This type of change warrants an immediate referral to the patient’s primary care physician to investigate a possible cause.  This finding could be the first sign the patient has developed diabetes or that their sugar is not stable.

If glasses are prescribed for this, the prescription could change by the time the patient receives their glasses.  I find that if there is a big change, the best remedy is to fit the patient with disposable contact lenses until the prescription stabilizes.  Often times but not always, the prescription will change back to where it was originally.  Sometimes this could take a few weeks so different strength contact lenses need to be prescribed over the course of time.

Vision Training Case

I started working with a young individual in his freshman year in college.  His main complaint was that he was having trouble taking in the whole playing field when he was looking at one particular player.  Even though the patient suffered from an eye injury two years ago, there was no organic problem with the eye.

 I started doing vision training on him.  Yesterday, he related that all the action on the football field looked as if it were slower.  In other words, his reaction time was a look quicker.  Also, he said his receptions (ability to catch the ball) from the quarterback improved markedly.  Needless to say, he was very happy.

 Vision training has so many applications.  These include individuals who have problems keeping their place reading or get headaches while doing near tasks including reading from text, desktops, laptops, or mobile devices.  It also includes people who have poor depth perception or poor hand-eye coordination.

Mastermind Group Thursdays

On most Thursdays, about ten to fifteen individuals meet discussing different success principles as outlined by Jim Rohn.  The backgrounds and ages of the participants vary widely.  Areas including but not limited to marketing, networking, accelerated learning, and physical well being are discussed.

As stated, the meetings occur on most Thursdays, the Fourth of July is an exception as is July 25.  They occur at 7:00  P.M. at my office, 7211-A Haven Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga.  We’re in the Ralph’s Shopping Center at Baseline and Haven.  The sign over the office says “optometry.”

I think you’ll find them very interesting and rewarding.  For more information you can call us at (909) 980-3535.

We really hope to see you.
