Background:
Acuity and accommodation
result from an array response of the L (red), M
(green), and S (blue) cone photoreceptors and
the relative refractive focal depths of those
specific colors. A Dyop® (or dynamic optotype)
is a spinning segmented ring visual target which
uses the strobic detection of the spinning gaps/
segments of the ring to measure visual function.
Dyop gap/segment color/contrast permutations
have distinctive, and corresponding, acuity
endpoints. This study’s objective was to compare
the qualitative acuity responses of a specific
Dyop color/contrast combination to diagnosed
symptoms of dyslexia.
Methods:
One hundred and eighty-eight patients,
ranging in age from 4 years to 44 years, were
examined as patients of the Stark-Griffin Dyslexia
Academy to compare their relative color/contrast
acuity endpoint perception of a spinning green-on-
white Dyop versus a spinning blue-on-black Dyop
and the possible diagnosis of types of dyslexia.
The Stark-Griffin Dyslexia Academy trains eye care
professionals as to how to diagnose and treat
patients with potential symptoms of dyslexia. The
patients were diagnosed as to their prevalent type
of dyslexia, if any, through the Stark-Griffin Dyslexia
Assessment. The patients were then presented
with, as part of the Chart2020 vision test platform,
a display which has an identical-diameter spinning
green-on-white Dyop and spinning blue-on-black
Dyop with sufficient arc width diameter such that
both Dyop rings were detected as spinning. Those
identically sized Dyop rings were then reduced
in arc width until spinning of each of the colored
rings was not detected. The smallest diameter
ring where spinning was detected for each of the
color/contrast combinations (corresponding to
the acuity endpoint metric value) was recorded as
the color acuity endpoint.
This preliminary evaluation of the
disparity of color perception versus diagnosed
symptoms of dyslexia showed a strong positive
association (~86%) between color perception and
diagnosed symptoms of dyslexia. The findings
suggest that symptoms presented by dyslexics
could be better understood or analyzed by their
color perception.
I haven't actually used the optometrist side, so my review is limited to the vision therapy offered. This office was recommended by my occupational therapist for the treatment of my double vision following a stroke.
Love this location. I had a brain injury accident from day one one. All the team make you feel you still important and hope in the horizon after when the medical system fell you miserably. Dr. Ikeda very professional and very understanding about your issue. Two tombs up.
My husband and I were immediately impressed with Dr Ikeda. I was hit by a car while cycling which caused broken bones and three brain injuries. The brain injuries caused double vision. Dr. Ikeda examined my eyes and got me started on vision therapy with his occupational therapist who specializes in vision therapy. She (Chris) is absolutely great. I am impressed with the array of tools used to help recover my binocular vision. I am doing things I never thought were possible (balance boards etc). Chris pushes me and keeps me motivated. I really enjoy my sessions with her. The office staff is always friendly and they have a wonderful appointment reminder tool that makes it easy to keep my calendar up to date. I am happy the rehab center at Little Co. of Mary recommended them!!
The Vision Therapy is handled in a separate office through a different door from the shared waiting room. Chris, the vision therapist, has a wide and varied assortment of tools, equipment and resources to best evaluate and treat most vision issues. After just a few visits, my double vision became easier to control, using exercises developed during the therapy process. It was time well-spent.
I have been coming here since I can remember. I love it here. The staff is so amazing and nice. They explain everything they gonna do and never make you feel rushed. Dr. Ikeda has always been my doctor and I would never want another one. He is the doctor for my whole family and is always asking how everyone is doing. I am also so crazy about picking out my frames and have to try so many and each person who helps me take the time and lets me try them all on. I would never want to go anywhere else! I definitely would recommend this office to anyone looking for a great eye doctor.
This is not for the eye exam but for the frames selection portion. I brought my prescription from Kaiser here with my VSP insurance. The reception staff was very polite and professional. Manny helped me to pick out frames and explain my coverage. Very helpful and patient not like the individual at the other place I rated here on Yelp. I was running late and he still helped me and was not bothered at all. I am so glad I came here ..........very pleased.
Very professional staff and pleasant.
