In relation to vision therapy it costs our country massive amounts of money when children our misdiagnosed and not getting the proper evaluation of their vision. I also like that it comes from MSU, good job professor Elder.

blogosphere on strabismus

We are lucky to have more than just Josh commenting on vision therapy. Thanks to Dr.Press for sharing the other blogs on strabismus. You can find the links to these on his blog.

Squinty Josh Blog

We have a patient who is blogging on his experience in vision therapy. You need to subscribe to his blog. I love the graphics and detailed explanations. It is great for use who have never had binocular vision problems to learn what it feels like from our patients. Blogs like this serve such a great purpose. Not just for communicating to the public but it is very good for us in the profession as well. I look forward to the upcoming entries.
Thanks Josh

New Book on Vision Therapy

It helps to get a personal account to motivate me and my staff to work harder to help more people. Thanks to Dr. Nate for the interview, Jillian and her mom for taking the time to share their story.
