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.

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).

Strabismus, commonly referred to as “crossed eyes” or “lazy eye,” is a visual condition characterized by an improper alignment of the eyes. In individuals with strabismus, the eyes do not work together as a coordinated pair, causing one eye to be misaligned relative to the other. This misalignment can be constant or intermittent and can affect one eye or both eyes.Alexander M. Solomon, MD, is a neuro-ophthalmologist and strabismus surgeon at Pacific Neuroscience Institute in Santa Monica and Torrance, CA. Dr. Solomon's personal philosophy is that each patient is an individual and that diagnosis and optimal management of any disease is best carried out in conjunction with patient and family education, and understanding.

Dr. Helveston's new book tells the history of the Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that was discovered and researched as a poison and how it came to be Botox, with multiple medical applications and a household word in the beauty industry. As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Helveston worked with Alan Scott who is credited with developing and manufacturing Botox although, as you'll hear in the episode, his rewards were more advancing science and having fun rather than making money. It's a fascinating tale of a remarkable person and his dedication to a useful toxin.Eugene Helveson's website:https://eugenehelveston.com/Thoughts? Comments? Potshots?

Nora Schmidt noticed that her daughter Maddie's right eye was crossing inward, one day after she had gone to her eye doctor for a simple eye appointment in which everything looked fine. This situation, which according to her Eye Doctor and a Pediatric Opthamologist could have been a common condition known as Strabismus, but  instead turned out to be DIPG. Nora will talk about Maddie's journey which lasted for just over 10 months before her passing from this Pediatric Brain Cancer on December 31st of 2022.

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.

Today I want to address a parent's concerns about their four-year-old daughter, Julie, who has been diagnosed with farsightedness and lazy eye. The parent has been advised by an eye doctor to have Julie wear glasses full time and consider eye muscle surgery. I want to offer an alternative perspective that emphasizes the malleability of a child's visual system and the potential for improvement through non-invasive treatments. Enjoy the show.

All right now on to the show.   01:36 Hey, everybody, welcome to the program, doing a little urban broadcasting today. So I'm in downtown Santa Fe, actually, my old office is just over there. I closed that office in 2010. But this is a very sweet part of Santa Fe, it's on the west side, pretty quiet and easy going. So I thought I would stop and take a question from a parent is very concerned about a four year old daughter Julie. So Julie has been diagnosed with farsightedness and lazy eye and she's got an eye turning in. And her eye doctor said that she needs to wear these glasses full time, mom sent me the prescriptions about a plus six. And he also said that she only has about three more years to be able to improve the lazy eye. And he wants to schedule her for eye muscle surgery. Because the only way to fix this I turn is with eye muscle surgery. Well, of course, she is appalled by this. She wants other opinions. And so she's known me a long time. And so I wanted to give my point of view. So first thing I want to say is that with kids, their visual system is very malleable, very plastic in the sense that it's versatile, it's changeable. And when you start putting glasses on children are doing things like surgery. There's even a technique where you can use eyedrops that can actually reduce a lazy eye. When you do all these invasive treatments, what ends up happening is it basically reinforces the problem. You know, the eyes are the only part of the brain that are outside the cranial vault. And since the eyes are brain tissue, especially in children, it's a great opportunity to improve one's vision by doing physical therapy exercises, because what you're doing there is you're creating new pathways, new ways for the child to use their visual system in the midst of using both eyes together. So with the glasses prescription, you know the way glasses are prescribed is that the doctor is going to put in eyedrops that paralyze the focusing muscles. We call this dilating eyedrops. And once you do that, you have lost the opportunity to be able to measure the organic focusing flexibility of the visual system. And the reason is, is because those muscles are paralyzed because of the eyedrops. And so the prescription that the doctor is going to give is always way too strong. So in this particular case, one of the things we have to look at is First of all,

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

Can you see him say hi? Yes, I can.   01:08 He's 18 months old. And I noticed since birth one of you I don't know if it's one or both or depending is looks like it's slightly off. I don't know if you receive the pictures I sent.   01:21 Just okay. And I attempted a golden I like an ophthalmologist but I kind of walked out politely because they just wanted to do too much dilate. I just didn't want to do that just yet. And I'm wondering if you could help assess what the problem might be. And if there's something natural or exercise or something holistic that could maybe be treated or   01:43 want to make sure it's not an issue and it's not going to get worse and you know, something I have to be ahead of.   01:50 Absolutely. So Alexandre is 18 months old. Is that Is that correct? Yes. Okay, and tell me a little bit about your gestation period, the birth process. Anything unusual there? I went through IVF for about eight years. I had him when I was 51. I actually carried him through to 37 weeks. And we were supposed to go to 40 i My pregnancy was fine. No issues. No you no nausea, no cravings, nothing. It's just up to 37 weeks. i My blood pressure was starting to elevate so my OB wanted to to take him out and we did a C section. He was born four pounds along the weight 15 ounces. And they said he was just under five pounds. So they had to put him in a NICU and they said it's because he had a little low blood sugar and low body temperature. We were both in the hospital for about five days. Me to regulate my blood pressure and then my son to regulate his body temp and his sugar. And then we released and since then he's you know, he's seeing a holistic pediatrician and he's taking vitamin D probiotic, and DHA and NACA what? He's been healthy hasn't been sick.   03:05 Great. Okay.   03:08 So, after the birth, brought him home, what is his? What is his mobility? Does he move around a lot? Is he on his tummy at all? Do you know what's kind of active mobile activities? Are you engaging with him when he was when he came home from the hospital or in general? Well, you know, after so he's 18 months. So we've got you know, a little bit of track record here. Obviously, you know, is there any mobility on the floor? Is he scooting, calling? Tell me about his his mobility experience? Yes, he's right now he's walking. He loves to activity walks, almost runs around the house. He's very active.   04:01 Let's see, we take him outside and I just stay focused. But this is his baby nurse. This is MISA. She's known him since birth.   04:09 She could chime in. He loves to be outdoors.

Everyone has something of value to say in the massive conversation we call 'ART' that has been taking place since humans began. Sometimes though, our perceived flaws, prevent us from finding our voice to express what is inside us, stopping us from participating in this conversation. Being different/flawed is an asset. This is a powerful conversation about how to find our way to seeing our flaws for what they really are, our superpowers, so that we can bust out and be a part of this universal conversation.  We all have the right to call ourselves artists even without degrees - but with that comes a responsibility and Susan tells us what she feels those responsibilities are - this was one of the deepest and most significant explanations of this I have ever heard and I cant wait to hear how it landed for you.Please find the post about her episode on Instagram @kateshepherdcreative or @thecreativegeniuspodcast and leave a comment sharing what came up for you when she said this!Susan speaks directly to the listener who is yearning to take the next step into a life as a full time artist. Practical thoughtful mentoring type things, that are enormously helpful.There is some in depth homework including two weeks worth of FREE WORKSHEETS you can do at home to help you find out what "flaws" are holding you back and what your superpowers actually are so that you can begin to say what you came here to say in this life. Powerful stuff. ABOUT SUSAN LOGORECISusan Logoreci, a wildly successful commercial and public artist, has an eye condition (Strabismus) that almost prevented her from being able to make art at all. And paradoxically, as we'll hear, was the very thing that has led her to be the artist she has become. Her drawings have been seen in Art in America, the Los Angeles Times, Harper's Magazine, as well as many other periodicals. She has drawings in several collections including the U.S. State Department, City National Bank, Creative Artist's Agency, Marriott and Hilton Hotels, Los Angeles Metro, Los Angeles County Arts Commission and in several law and urban design firms. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.She has also completed several public projects in hospitals, light rail stations and airports. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.Her art comes down to this: she wants the viewer to feel the delight and wonder of places and at the same time be inspired to take care of them and always be making them better. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT -Where creative impulses come from-The conflict between realism and abstraction in art-Intentionally looking for new ways to see things-The eye condition she has (Strabismus) causes her to not see three dimensionally this “failure” to interpret every day life the way the rest of us do led her to not only see the world but also create art in a way that is completely unique to her. The things we think are our impediments, are pointing us to our superpowers-Accessing your ‘inner delinquent' to unleash creativity-seeing differently as an artist is an asset - how can you use it-The way you are different is an asset - and how you can use it. -Accessible tips and suggestions for getting grants and finding your path to becoming a public artist - her absolutely brilliant idea for the person who wants to get into making public art-How she designed her largest public art project a staggering 10,000 square foot with 28 wall pieces in Phoenix airport!-The collective amnesia that happens to us between childhood and adulthood  around creativity. What she thinks are the causes of it, and the ways we can change it.Challenge to all listeners! If you felt a little something inside you perk up when Susan was talking about getting grants to do public art like on the utility boxes - challenge - go Find out how public art is governed in your area and apply! And join the creative genius family on facebook and share your experience, learnings and journey with it

SUMMARY KEYWORDS eyes, midline, adaptive response, tapes, left, turning, divergence, child, glasses, alternating, internalize, working, activities, eyepatch, internalization, part, fixating, paralysis, straight, lens Hello, everyone, it's Dr. Sam, I'd like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberene.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Hey everyone in this podcast, I talk about strabismus, that means the two eyes are working together. And this therapist presented a case to me where the child has one eye that straight and one either wanders out, and there's an alternating situation. And she said that a doctor recommended that the child get some dimestore glasses, some magnification glasses, and put some scotch tape on the outside part of both sides of the glasses, the right lens and the left lens, and you'll hear my response. And what I recommend in terms of helping anybody who's got the two eyes not working together. The question is the eyes or one or both eyes are turning out we call that either alternating exotropia or just exotropia is that it's an over divergence, it's like, not able to converge. So if you're using dollar store glasses, and you're trying to tape, the person is going to have no reference point on why you're doing that. There's no learning, there's no reason why Why are you doing that to me. And so they're probably going to just do more of it, or they're going to find another compensating adaptive response. It starts ultimately I feel with developing more of the midline. So and I would even take it to more of the Moro reflex, that midline development is really the key in the eyes feeling safe enough to coming in. So you know, whenever there's strabismus, we start off and we do some of the activities just during the activity if we can include one of the eyes. So we give each I chance, whether it's the marzen ball, the ball bounce, I mean almost anything, even vestibular driven activities with the eyepatch. So in other words, we want to allow each eye to grow in their processing. And then the reflex work. So again, this is where what I'm learning about the fear paralysis reflex, that maybe that's the place to start, because the I'm turning away from life. So the metaphor is the left eyes The mother eye, the right eyes, the father I which I am I fixating more with Is it the right or the left it you know, she usually uses the right one the left. Okay, so so the left is the mother, I'm turning away from the Mother, I'm turning away from my creativity. And I'm looking more with my father I masculine. So you can kind of I was joking with one of my 86 year old patients the other day, and I said I can look at the child's eyes. And I can pretty much tell what the parents relationship is. It's in the child's eyes in their reactions and how they're aiming their eyes. Because what children do is we internalize the primary relationship. But we don't know what to do with that internalization. And a lot of times we internalize it through the eyeballs. And so when they start doing some output things, you see the reflection of what they're living in. So I think that this divergence situation, I don't think, if anything, what I feel works better with the divergence is putting the tapes on the inside part. Now you might say, Well, that makes no more than it brings the midline awareness. And it really, what's what needs to happen in strabismus is that there's an inability to understand your middle, whether it's your visual metal, your body, metal or both. And by putting the tapes in the middle, you are disrupting the habit of one is straigh...
