His expertise includes reorganizing the visual brain post-concussion, remediating visual developmental delays interfering with reading and learning, and enhancing visual skills to elevate sports performance.\xa0

Memorable Quotes:

\u201cI like to think of eyesight and vision as separate entities.\u201d

\u201cAll visual skills are learned skills, and they\u2019re skills that are either learned well or not learned as well as they could be.\u201d

\u201cWe learn skills through our life experiences, especially early on. We learn how to integrate both sides of our body, and we learn how to develop the motor foundation from which we then learn how to use our visual system.\u201d

\u201cDyslexia, by definition, means difficulty reading words.\u201d

\u201cConvergence insufficiency is essentially the brain's ability to use the outside muscles of the eyes to point in the same place to see something single.\u201d

\u201cTreatment options should always start with, \u2018Can something be done with glasses to make life easier and to make things more comfortable to close the gap in terms of where they're operating compared to where they want to be?\u2019\u201d\xa0

\u201cIt's basically brain training for the eyes, which should be individualized and should be based off of all the different metrics that are identified, and should have a nice mix of home therapy with office therapy, where there's reinforcement of what has been learned.\u201d

\u201c95% of people I've seen in the last two and a half years have had an increase in symptoms or problems that they\u2019re no longer able to compensate for, based on this huge introduction of visual stress.\u201d
