Using Your Eyes and Brain Together

I'm involved a lot with the autistic to ADD spectrum disorder community, I actually consult at a place called Kidpower. Recently, I gave a presentation on the exercise that helps improve our three-dimensional vision. 3D vision is so important because it helps us with our ability to make decisions to problem solve to see more deeply into situations. So, I wanted to share this talk with you all. Enjoy the show. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com.

This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Hey everybody, it's Dr. Sam. So I'm involved a lot with the autistic to ADD spectrum disorder community, I actually consult at a place called Kidpower. And this is, an amazing place where occupational therapists offer many different modalities to help these kids grow and evolve. And I've been, I've been involved with Kidpower for, oh, my goodness, 15-20 years maybe. And recently, I was giving a presentation on the exercise that helps improve our three-dimensional vision. And 3d vision is so important because it helps us with our ability to make decisions to problem solve to see more deeply into situations. And when our two eyes are working together, we're more easily triggered, or more fatigued, our concentration is less our balances less, and our memory is reduced. And you know, most eye exams, they don't necessarily test, three-dimensional vision. In fact, what we're doing in an eye exam is we're testing the eye chart, and we're looking at your eye health. And it's usually a 10-minute experience, and you're out the door, and the next person comes. So in this particular short presentation, I talked about a machine called the vector gram. And the vector gram is a 3d slide you put on some polarized glasses similar to if you went to the movies, and you were given 3d glasses, and you could see the film in 3d. Now. For many people, they aren't using their two eyes together. And unless you test for it, you have no idea that your two eyes are working together. And so some of the symptoms people will experience would be, I feel cloudy, I'm not able to focus. I follow a lot, you know, my memories kind of going. And when you do this kind of test. So the one that I'm explaining to the people at Kidpower. There are a lot of things that we talk about in terms of spatial reasoning, and spatial decision making. And then my physical therapy program, we focus on helping people regain their buying ocular vision. So there's more stability, there's more resiliency, and there's more flexibility in using our two eyes and brain together. And it isn't just the eyes. And it isn't just the brain. But it's both of them together. So I want you to enjoy the presentation, I wanted to give you a little context before we play this clip. And like always, I want to thank you for tuning in. Here we go. So the vector grams is a powerful tool, both in diagnosis and treatment. From a diagnostic point of view, when you put a person on the vector gram, you're going to pretty quickly discover if they have an ocular vision, depth perception, and suppression. And also, the other thing about the vector gram is that when you put a person on it, and you ask them in an open-ended way, what do you see?
