Great job!

Before vision therapy, reading was a daily struggle. Letters would blur and blend together, making it difficult to keep up with schoolwork. Some even thought he was hyperactive, but much of his movement and distraction stemmed from the frustration of feeling like he couldn't get things right.
Today, the difference is remarkable. He is more confident both at school and at home, approaches learning with a positive attitude, and is willing to pick up and try new books. Most importantly, Kaden feels successful and capable—a confidence that shines through in everything he does.

Yes! We did it again!!! Vision Therapy is the answer!!! The sensorimotor framework on the neurorehabilitation of oculomotor dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease is developed by Dr Yap Tiong Peng and published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (Section on Clinical Neurology).

Oculomotor dysfunction is an eye movement disorder frequently experienced in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Many patients tend to experience visual symptoms, and this can exacerbate cognitive symptoms when visual tasks become more demanding. The purpose of this review is to characterize oculom...

Not all vision problems start in the eye, as Mdm Tan discovered when her vision became blurry.

Diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a rare and chronic autoimmune condition, Madam Tan shared her diagnosis journey with The Straits Times and how early disease detection through NNI’s Neuroscience Clinical Laboratory and prompt treatment saved her sight.

Myopia control is not about buying the best or most expensive brand of lenses for your children. It’s about the evidence based science that targets abnormal eye growth when the child is still developing. Let us help you to navigate thru the complexities of children myopia control.

Here’s some sharing on the contact lens strategy selection based on the patient’s characteristics published recently on Review of Optometry. Happy reading!!

Optimizing Contact Lenses in Myopia Management

When selecting CLs for patients with myopia, practitioners should be aware of the following:

▪ Avoid single vision lenses in myopia management.
▪ Follow the patient closely and to adjust refractive correction as it evolves.
▪ Never undercorrect.
▪ Never leave a patient with an outdated pair of glasses.
▪ Change lens power if refraction is modified by >0.25D.
▪ To comply with recommended wearing schedule (full time).
▪ Defocus may be generated through + or – lenses.
▪ Plus lenses are favored because they magnify the size of the signal.
▪ Center-distance lenses provide higher positive SA vs. center-near ones.
▪ MF lenses and filters can reduce contrast, but design matters!
▪ Atropine may help to increase the dose by enlarging the pupil diameter.
▪ Adequate (most likely higher) add or convex power is needed for fast progressors and high myopes.
