Working with a Child with Farsightedness

Here is a session where I worked with a mother with a 12 year old who had one year of vision therapy with another clinic, and she wants a second opinion because her child still has eye fatigue and eye pain after reading. Enjoy the show!

Hey everybody, its Dr. Sam, and I’d like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. Well, today, I’m going to give you a bird’s eye view into a session I gave to a mom who’s got a 12 year old. And the dilemma is that she’s got some vision problems progressive myopia, a visual coordination problem called Convergence excess. But the big thing is, she has been doing physical vision therapy for over a year with some other doctors. And she still has the symptoms of her eyes getting really tired, sometimes her eyes feel painful, and she’s exhausted by the end of the day. So when I talk to the mom, you know, we go through things like the prenatal period, the pregnancy, the birth, the first three years bonding, and everything seemed to be pretty normal. And yet, here we are at age 12. And there’s still unresolved vision problems. So what do you do? So in this session, I bring in the whole body, and I talk about cellular biochemistry, and how we need more energy to be able to absorb any therapy that we might receive. You know, one of my mentors, was a world known developmental optometrist, he was practicing in Miami Beach professor at Berry College. And I studied with him for a long time.

And one of the things that he taught me, which I still use today, is the fact that before we start with any child, in any kind of physical therapy program, we want to get an assessment of their nutrition. And if we can order a lab test, where we can see what is the nutrient absorption, like, Are there any heavy metal toxicities. And in figuring that out first, that is number one, if you can improve the energy and the biochemistry on a cellular level, then the child is more available to receive the therapy and make the changes developmentally that we’re asking that they need to do, because it takes an incredible amount of energy to go through any kind of therapeutic process. And if you’re depleted, you’re just not going to get very far. So in this session, I talked to the mom about some different ways to go about, you know, helping her her child. And for any parent out there who’s got a child and they just don’t know what’s going on, this could be really helpful. So I hope you enjoy the show.

Thanks for tuning in. I see it is that especially in children, and learning in school, we have the sensory motor systems. And there’s a developmental arc where we as kids, kids, we learn through movement, how to integrate our sensory motor development, our eyes or ears or proprioception, you know, and then that leads to spatial decision making. And, and then some of the cognitive skills, you know, executive function, memory, and,...
