Si un ojo es más débil que el otro, como en el caso del ojo perezoso, un método que es utilizado para entrenar al cerebro a trabajar con ambos ojos de una manera óptima es parchar. Esto significa que el ojo más fuerte es cerrado con un parche, forzando al cerebro a aprender a trabajar con el ojo más débil. Este método presenta ventajas y desventajas. El desafío principal con este enfoque es el hecho de que apagamos la funcionalidad del ojo más fuerte por un periodo de tiempo con el fin de fortalecer al ojo más débil. Esto podría comprometer al ojo más fuerte ya que no se utiliza por un tiempo. Una vez dejemos de utilizar el parche, entonces el cerebro necesita volver a aprender a utilizar ambos ojos simultáneamente, lo que podría presentar un desafío.
Hay una maravillosa alternativa para parchar y es la fijación monocular en un campo binocular, abreviado FMCM. Esto permite a ambos ojos estar abiertos mientras se entrena y fortalece un ojo a la vez, evitando la necesidad de cerrar un ojo. Para lograr el efecto FMCM, los filtros son utilizados. Por ejemplo, durante una sesión de terapia visual, a un niño se le da la tarea de completar un laberinto en un papel al trazar el camino correcto a la salida utilizando un marcador rojo. En ese caso, tendríamos un filtro verde en frente del ojo perezoso o del ojo más débil en el que estamos trabajando para fortalecer. Ya que hay un filtro verde en frente del ojo, este ojo en específico aún es capaz de ver el objetivo y desempeñar la tarea de completar el laberinto. El otro ojo más fuerte que no requiere entrenarse por el momento, está abierto, sin embargo, hay un filtro rojo colocado en la parte superior que previene que vea el objetivo. Esto significa que ambos ojos están abiertos pero el ojo más débil debe enfrentar el desafío de completar la tarea por sí solo. Al mantener ambos ojos abiertos pero utilizando filtros, podemos controlar cuál ojo está recibiendo el entrenamiento fortalecedor y cuáles señales visuales el cerebro es capaz de percibir.
Hay varios métodos disponibles hoy en día que permiten a un ojo participar en una actividad de terapia visual a la vez. El parchar al ojo más fuerte, forzando al cerebro a aprender cómo trabajar correctamente con el ojo más débil. El método alternativo de MFBF emplea filtros para mantener a ambos ojos abiertos pero permite enfocar un ojo a la vez.
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.
