Good article that shows there is hope for improving brain function. We know this from experience in vision therapy but nice to see the dedication of scientists expanding our knowledge of how it works.

A mom blogging on vision therapy

Here is a mother sharing in her blog what is a very common experience for vision therapy patients.

Everyone working in the field of learning problems know this but it is nice to have someone outside the medical field confirm the weakness of ADHD as a diagnosis. 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.

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
