Today I want to talk about double vision and prisms. You know, in my training, I spent some time early on working in a hospital setting. And I was able to help people who suffered traumatic brain injury. Another term for that is closed head trauma. It was an interesting juxtaposition because I just opened my practice in another doctor's office in the Philadelphia area was just starting out. And I had great training for sure. But I had trouble getting patients. And so I contacted one of the local hospitals. And the physiatrist there said, you actually do something called physical therapy for the eyes, I never heard of that. I've got a lot of patients for you. So when I started in the outpatient part of the hospital, these folks suffer things like double vision, concentration issues, balance issues, they're pretty lost. And the eye doctors tend to evaluate people's vision, as you know, very much in a linear way, meaning that they're just testing the HR at a distance, maybe at near looking at eye health, and then you're out the door. So I began applying many of the techniques I had learned. And within a few months, I was getting such great results in this one hospital, that I was offered a contract in three other hospitals. And it's a way that I actually built my practice in Philadelphia, which I eventually sold. And Philadelphia at the time was pretty conventional medical place. And so this alternative, innovative way of working with vision was not really well accepted. So in the communities of trauma, and special needs kids, these were the people that weren't getting their needs met. And so I feel the need, and my reputation grew. And that is how I eventually built up a pretty nice sized practice, which I sold, and then moved out to New Mexico, where I am now in the early 1990s. And one of the techniques that I used and I learned this from about five developmental holistic optometrists. And what was really cool about it is they were in their 70s. I was in my late 20s, early 30s. And I would go to their meetings, they were usually up in either the Connecticut area, or down in Washington DC. And I would just be a sponge, I would just sit in the room and listen to them and know, they taught me a lot about lens prescribing. And one of the techniques in using lenses is using the special prisms called yoked prisms, why o ke D. 03:30 And this is a very different prism prescription than what is usually prescribed. The regular prism glasses that are prescribed by most eye doctors try to fix an eye by prescribing a prism on that eye. And what it does is it helps in the moment, but usually either the person rejects it in their vision, and they go back to seeing double vision or whatever their condition was,...
