Manage episode 371006310 series 3492681
Child psychologist Dr. Sara Morrow describes how she discovered vision therapy and the success her son, Zephen has had over the course of the past three and a half years. She describes how he has gained alignment of his eyes and emerging depth perception.
Zephen’s diagnoses from the developmental optometrist at age 10 were as follows:
• Alternating exotropia (both eyes could turn outward, a form a strabismus)
• Vertical strabismus of left eye
• Vertical heterophoria (a vertical misalignment of the eyes that, a type of binocular vision dysfunction)
• Supression of binocular vision
• Fusion with defective stereopsis (inability for his brain to fuse together the images from his two eyes)
• Fourth nerve palsy (tilting his head to turn his right eye forward, an accommodation to see better)
• Spasm of accommodation, (both eyes, trouble adjusting eye muscles transitioning from near to far)
