Visual Development in Children

Today's show is about a 10-year-old child who's been diagnosed with a condition called strabismus. So this is for all you parents out there who are frustrated when you go to the regular eye doctor and are looking for alternatives. Enjoy the show.

It’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. 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 and I'd like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. Well, today's show is about a 10 year old child who's been diagnosed with a condition called strabismus. So this is for all you parents out there who are frustrated when you go to the regular eye doctor. And he or she either recommends surgery on the eye muscle and or really strong glasses. The third option would be wearing a patch constantly over the so called good eye. And in all of those scenarios, you're taking the child further away from improving the visual coordination. I want to give a shout out right now to my mentors and teachers. Especially the doctors who trained me at the Gizelle Institute, where we immersed ourselves in child development and learning how to evaluate and treat a child from a developmental perspective, from a holistic perspective, from a mind body perspective. And unfortunately, this particular method has been lost. In today's I care. In fact, today's I care is so mechanical, so I centric, that the doctors are failing to evaluate a child based on the child's sensory motor development skills as it relates comparing their performance age to their chronological age. And they're also just using a robotic mechanistic way of treating. So I have brought you in to some excerpts of a session I recently gave a family they live in Australia. And this young girl was diagnosed at about 14 months with a left eye crossing. At age three, she was given really strong farsighted glasses. And now the doctors have put her in to even a stronger prescription. She's now in a split lens, we call that a bifocal. And her mom discovered me through my social media through my content. And it's been a breath of fresh air. Now, the first part of this session I talked about something called the primitive reflexes, many of you probably have never heard of it. Except maybe certain moms have heard of this because we know the most famous infant reflexes called the Moro reflex, the startle reflex. But the primitive reflexes are controlled in the nervous system by our brainstem. That's the reptilian brain, the survival brain and these reflex movement patterns start developing in utero. And they should start to get extinguished when we're born through age to age three. And many times when these reflexes are not extinguished, then the brainstem is overriding the higher centers of the brain, and it stops or impedes visual development. 04:29 Now I want to talk about my mentors. Lina and thourgh killed Rasmus in their optometrists who practice in Scandinavia. And then this podcast a little later on. I refer to them because they did a lot of study research on the relationship between the unintegrated primitive reflex movements and school aged children and how it affects their visual development. And I learned this work Through them,
