Podcasts about Amblyopia

In this episode, Dr. Pilar Vergara tells how she came to write the book Crossed and Lazy Eyes, Myths, Misconceptions and Truths. She shares that science backs up new ways to treat amblyopia and TBIs and how lives are changed as people receive appropriate treatement. Dr. Vergara is a true leader in behavioral optometry and vision development. Based in Albacete, Spain, she's spent over 30 years helping people of all ages improve their visual function—from children struggling in school to adults recovering from brain injuries. Dr. Vergara is a global educator, author of several influential books on vision and learning, and the first Spaniard to be named a Fellow in multiple international optometry organizations. She brings a deep understanding of how vision impacts our lives and a passion for helping people see—not just with their eyes, but with their whole brain.Dr. Vergara's website: https://pilarvergara.esAccess the book Crossed and Lazy Eyes, Myths, Misconceptions and Truths here: https://www.amazon.com/Crossed-lazy-eyes-misconceptions-truths-ebook/dp/B0854KX1Z4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=DI0JGKL6171F&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TdGV_CLmwvfpoI4fuJG9AcBm5URe52X7s7d3DScnj1i7562qYGoTHKBeRWt9hsF2.-PzugOMoz-gyAgiKDOMzQQWYlZliSURVLJki1ebUzC8&dib_tag=se&keywords=crossed+%26+lazy+eyes&qid=1744956809&sprefix=crossed+%26+lazy+eye%2Caps%2C449&sr=8-1Dr. Vergara's book: Tanta Inteligencia, tan poco rendimiento (available in Spanish on her website and Amazon/Spanish)https://pilarvergara.es/libro-tanta-inteligencia-tan-poco-rendimiento/English Testimonial on her website:https://pilarvergara.es/a-beautiful-story-of-love-one-that-goes-far-beyond-optometry/Brain Injury information on NORA website: https://noravisionrehab.org/patients-caregivers/about-brain-injuries-visionIf you liked this episode, click here to send me a message.

Scott Xiao, Co-Founder and CEO of Luminopia is developing a virtual reality-based treatment for amblyopia, also known as Lazy Eye in children. A traditional treatment is eye patching, which children find difficult to comply with. The Luminopia approach allows children to use a VR headset to watch content licensed from Sesame Street and Nickelodeon as a treatment to improve visual acuity by modifying the content presented to each eye.  This FDA-approved VR-based medical treatment is an immersive environment that reduces distraction and enhances engagement so that children are more likely to comply with and complete treatment plans. Scott explains, "We're pioneering a new class of treatments for a variety of visual conditions, and we're starting with a condition called amblyopia, which is more commonly known as Lazy Eye. And it's the number one cause of vision loss in children. And despite that, there hasn't been innovation in this space for a long time. Traditional treatment for amblyopia requires patients to wear glasses and then, in most cases, go through patching, which is exactly what it sounds like. You take an eye patch and stick it on your stronger eye for multiple hours daily." "The product that we've developed, we like to say, allows patients to watch their favorite TV show as a treatment instead of having to wear a patch. The way that it works is that it's a virtual reality-based product. The kids put on a kid-friendly headset and can choose from more than 3,000 episodes of content that we've licensed from partners like Sesame Street and Nickelodeon.   Once the child has chosen a video to watch, we modify how the images are presented to each eye with the goal of rebalancing the input to the brain and getting the brain to use both eyes together properly. We've shown that we can get significant vision improvement just by having patients watch TV for an hour per day." "Certainly compliance is much easier with our product, and that's an important driver of outcomes. So we think that alone is an important advantage over what you could get with patching. The other important thing we've seen in our studies is that we can improve vision even in patients who have been through patching and failed patching. And that's a pretty big chunk of patients. Anywhere from 50% to close to 80% of patients that go through patching are still left with some amount of amblyopia. We've shown that our treatment works even in those patients, and we think it's because we're taking a different mechanism to treat the condition."  #Luminopia #Amblyopia #LazyEye #Healthtech #VRMED luminopia.com Download the transcript here

This is a story of a woman who didn't realize she had neurological conditions that were perhaps altering her abilities until she was in her forties. You ask how is that possible? Well, Sadie thought that everyone was just like her. She assumed everyone else's brain worked just like hers. Her biggest cheerleader was her grandmother, who since Sadie was a little girl, has catalogued everything her granddaughter has written or drawn.  Adele says of her grandmother "she is perfect and just brimming with fantastic folksy wisdom.""Do I Know You, A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination,"  is Sadie's recently released book and there's a wealth of information for anyone who thinks perhaps they are alone in the discovery of being neurodivergent. Scientists believe that these types of  conditions may actually give you an edge as an artist.One of the many gifts of  having a poor memory, Sadie mentioned, is that she lives in the moment.   Her grandmother "felt comforted by her self expression and it helped her make  meaning out of the chaos of life,"  according to my guest.Sadie has a condition call SDAM, which stands for-SEVERELY DEFFICIENT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY.Sadie's videos on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sadie+Dingfelder  4 RARE NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. FACEBLIND (prosopagnosia-(pur·suh·pag·now·zhuh, is a condition that makes it difficult to recognize faces, even though vision is normal, STEREOBLINDNESS- The inability to see in 3D,APHANTASIA- (AYE-FAN-TA-SHUH).

Today we discuss strabismus, an eye turn condition. We explain the various treatment options, including patching, penalization, surgery, and vision therapy and highlight the  importance of developing binocular vision. We also cover the social and psychological impact of strabismus, the goals of treatment, and the considerations parents should make when deciding between surgery and vision therapy for their kids. There's a great need for the two eyes to work together when treating strabismus and there are various aspects of visual function that should be considered, such as tracking skills, focusing power, depth perception, and processing abilities. The role of vision therapy in addressing these areas and improving overall visual performance is crucial. In this episode you'll hear about:(00:52) What is strabismus and what are the treatments.(02:01) Patching or Occlusion Therapy.(03:46) Penalization. (05:06) Why is it important to treat strabismus? The mental, social and academic impactDriving IssuesAmblyopia(09:48) Goals to aim for as a parent when treating their kids' strabismus.(16:07) Asking the right questions to know if surgery is the right choice.(21:18) How to access the research and integral information about strabismus.Treating the Trinity of Infantile Vision Development: Infantile Esotropia, Amblyopia, AnisometropiaA binocular approach to treating amblyopia: antisuppression therapyImproving the performance of the amblyopic visual systemComplications of Strabismus surgeryThe Outcomes of Horizontal Strabismus Surgery and Influencing Factors of the Surgical Success(23:02) Why 4d Vision Gym is your best choice for vision therapy.Read the episode transcript hereCheck out our Digital Programs4d Built to Read Digital ProgramConcussion RecoveryBuilt to DriveFollow us at 4D Vision Gym on Facebook and Instagram @4dvisiongymvt for the latest news and updates.

Denise introduces Michael Lievens, whose website strabismusworld.com was one of the few blogs available when she started vision therapy. Following his journey and feeling less alone was so helpful as she began vision therapy! Michael shares how he developed accommodative strabismus at age three as a result of undetected far-sightedness, underwent three eye surgeries which left him with constant double vision and finally discovered vision therapy as a result of searching English language resources because no resources were available in his native language of Dutch. In 2017, Michael founded a Belgian strabismus nonprofit organization which undertook the project of translating Susan Barry's book Fixing my Gaze into Dutch. He also has a Dutch website, scheelzien.org, a Dutch YouTube channel and FaceBook groups in Dutch and English. His association organizes annual patient meet ups where VTODs (vision therapy optometrists) are invited to speak. Proceeds from the Dutch translation are being rolled forward into his latest project of translating Fixing my Gaze into the French language. He is also creating a French chapter of his organization, which will cater to the other side of Belgium, France and other French-speaking territories. He is passionate about sharing helpful information regarding strabismus solutions.Link for supporting the French translation:https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-to-translate-fixing-my-gaze-into-french?fbclid=IwAR0xaNmuNyYu6d6o8v4NGZQfYt-XbK802QiiDvIJISY_hCNpXyRg9ClOuIc#/Website:https://strabismusworld.com/Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=strabismus%20world

Are you ready to see the world in a whole new way? Join us for an exciting episode of Neurocareers, where we explore the cutting-edge world of high-resolution functional MRI (fMRI) and human visual processing with the brilliant Dr. Shahin Nasr! In this episode, we dive deep into the science of high-resolution fMRI, exploring how it's helping us to better understand how the human brain processes and perceives visual information. With Dr. Nasr's expert guidance, we'll explore the latest cutting-edge research in visual perception and career development in this exciting field. Dr. Nasr used an ultra-high-field (7 Tesla) scanner at the Martinos Center for his groundbreaking studies. This allowed him and his colleagues to discover small, non-overlapping sites in the human visual cortex that encode motion and depth perception (stereopsis). These sites are selectively connected, forming two channels within the visual system. This groundbreaking finding challenges our current understanding of how fundamental visual features are encoded within the brain, and opens the door for future studies on the link between perceptual impairments and dysfunctions in these channels. Whether you're a scientist, student, or simply curious about how your brain works, this episode is not to be missed! So sit back, relax, and join us for fun and engaging conversation with one of the world's leading experts in high-resolution fMRI and human visual processing. Trust us, your brain will thank you for it! About the Podcast Guest: Dr. Nasr, an Assistant Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, is a true trailblazer in visual processing. With a Ph.D. in neuroscience, he is passionate about understanding visual perception in human and non-human primate brains and exploring the impairments caused by neurodegenerative and developmental disorders like Huntington's disease and Amblyopia.

Today is a throw back to when I sat down with Christian Yordanov, host of the Connecting Minds Podcast. I answer questions ranging from Autism, Vestibular Health, Amblyopia (lazy eye), Computer Vision Syndrome, and other topics. Enjoy the show.

Juergen Schmidhuber, world-renowned authority on artificial intelligence and its cognizant mechanisms, joins Lexman for a fascinating discussion on the topic of amblyopia - or poorsightedness. Schmidhuber explains how he discovered the kibbles Gibbs phenomenon, deriving a set of surprising but compelling conclusions about human mating behavior.

NEXGEL (NASDAQ:NXGL) CEO Adam Levy joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of a new hydrogel eye patch the company has developed to treat amblyopia, a type of poor vision that typically occurs in one eye but can occur in both. Levy says amblyopia is present in 2% to 4% of the American population, creating a large opportunity for NEXGEL. The patches are gentle, can be worn for long periods of time without experiencing any pain or discomfort and are suitable for children, he says. He also discusses positive results from a proof-of-concept study on diclofenac hydrogel patches designed to treat pain caused by arthritis, joint pain, muscle aches and more.

Did you know that the leading cause of monocular vision loss for people of all ages can only be prevented by intervening in early childhood? Amblyopia, or decreased vision from lack of visual stimulation, affects about 3-5% of children and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated by the age of 8. Dr. Stephanie Goei, a pediatric ophthalmologist, joins medical students Lindsay Berman and Joanne Thomas to discuss detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of amblyopia in infancy and early childhood. Specifically, they will cover how to: Recognize common history and physical exam findings associated with amblyopia. Formulate a differential diagnosis for visual deficits in children. Appreciate the importance of vision screenings as part of regular wellness visits. Understand the initial diagnostic approach to amblyopia. Recognize when to refer patients with visual deficits to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Acknowledge how the approach to treatment of amblyopia depends on the specific etiology.

Max Conway, RNIB's National Involvement Coordinator shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in. Opportunities highlighted this week included: Call out to share your tech experiences!  This opportunity is from Charlotte Jones, who works in RNIB's Insight Team and is working on a series of short podcasts and videos to educate our staff and the wider public on a range of topics which affect people with sight loss.  The next round focusses on technology and Charlotte's keen to share clips of blind and partially sighted people sharing their experiences of technology - good and bad. She'd like to hear what barriers you encounter when using tech and or how tech enables you to be more independent. The podcast will be shared externally but the video will remain internal and be used to educate staff across RNIB on the benefits and barriers technology creates for people with sight loss.  Research group opportunity This is an opportunity to be part of a research group with RNIB and The National Institute for Health and Care Research. The RNIB and the NIHR want to know, Do you have one of the following eye conditions?    • Glaucoma  • Cataract  • Uveitis   • Retina/ inherited eye conditions  • Paediatric ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology i.e., Squint, Amblyopia, neuro related.  • Those who have eye conditions that affect the external eye (cornea, lids, lashes, and conjunctiva)    Or do you currently use low vision services or optometry services?  If the answer is yes we have an opportunity for you to support the RNIB and the NIHR (The National Institute for Health and Care Research) with their research projects.  User testing research with the NHS The NHS are designing new features for the NHS App, and they need your help to test how useful they are and if they are accessible with any assistive technology you may use.  They have online research sessions taking place 19th and 20th October via Microsoft Teams to test some of their new features. If you don't already have Microsoft Teams, they will ask you to download this onto your device. they will give you a link to their NHS App prototype and ask you to share your screen. Don't worry if you don't know how to do this, they will test this with you a few days before. You will then be given a few tasks to try and complete and you can help to test how good the designs are. Sessions will last between 45 minutes and 1 hour and they will thank you by sending you a £45 gift voucher.

“It's okay to be different. It's okay to be unique. Stand apart from the crowd, you don't want to always fit in. If you have a disability, turn it into an ability. Use that to empower other people.” -Bria Byrd   Bria Byrd was born with visual impairment called Amblyopia. Amblyopia or lazy eye, is a condition where an abnormal development of the nerves between the brain and the retina causes vision problems in one eye. It usually begins in childhood and if left untreated, symptoms may worsen and lead to permanent vision loss. In this episode, Bria shares how it's like to live with this disability as a teen with big dreams. As a Sophomore, pageant contestant, author, and volunteer for many organizations, Bria sure has a lot going on in her life. As exciting as it sounds, Bria also needs to overcome the challenges that come with them. Bria's story proves that neither age nor disability can stop you from pursuing your dreams. Tune in as she shares tips on how to manage your disabilities, balance time, and reach your goals. Anyone can advocate and inspire others.
