Purpose.
Phorometric findings have been observed to change with stress. We test the hypothesis that postnearwork phorias predict symptoms that have been theorized to result from nearwork-induced visual stress.
Methods.
We measured nearpoint and farpoint dissociated phorias in 37 unselected college students with an alternate cover test both before and after a challenging reading comprehension test. We also assessed a broad range of putative attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related symptoms with the Nadeau College-level ADHD Questionnaire.
Results.
For phorias measured at nearpoint after nearwork, greater deviation from the median phoria (three exophoria) predicted higher symptoms (ρ (35) = 0.52, p < 0.001), whether that deviation was in a convergent or a divergent direction (both ρ's (18) = >0.48, p's < 0.04). An analogous result was obtained for “distance-near” stimulus accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) ratios calculated from phorias, where greater deviation from median postnearwork AC/A ratio predicted higher symptoms (ρ (35) = 0.52, p < 0.0001). Symptoms did not correlate with prenearwork phorias, prenearwork AC/A ratios, or postnearwork farpoint phorias (p's > 0.05).
Conclusions.
Phorias postnearwork, but not prenearwork, predicted self-reported ADHD-related symptoms in college students. These results link binocular imbalance immediately after sustained nearwork to symptoms theorized to result from nearwork-induced visual stress.
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.
