"Thanks to our colleague, Dr. Curt Baxstrom, for sharing this link on VTODs on Facebook to an article that he co-authored with Dr. Jason Clopton on Vestibular and Visual Motion Processing in Infantile Esotropia.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Advances in Ophthalmology and Optometry, it is the only publication of its kind that is jointly done between the two professions. This is the 10th annual volume, and each volume contains many unique and cutting edge chapters."

"It wouldn’t be that much of a stretch to say that the pairing of Nadeem Ali and Robert Lederman seems, at least on the surface, to be a bit of an odd coupling based on their respective backgrounds. Many of you know Robert, who runs the leading vision therapy practice in Jerusalem by way of the UK, and has spearheaded the OVDRA chapter in Israel. Robert graduated with Honours (as they spell it on that side of the pond) from The City University of London’s department of Optometry and Visual Science, and in 2001 he became Israel’s first optometrist to be awarded Fellowship from OVDRA.

Nadeem Ali is what they refer to in London as a 'squint surgeon'. He was a consultant surgeon at the famed Moorfields Eye Hospital and now runs the London Squint Clinic. Squint is the term applied to strabismus, most likely because patients squinted one eye to avoid diplopia, or perhaps alluding to the classic squinting indulged in by the patient with intermittent exotropia when in bright sunlight. Be that as it may, when you go to Nadeem’s website, you’ll see nary a word about vision therapy, or orthoptics for that matter, but you will see great YouTube testimonials about surgery as a cure for double vision.

Yet somehow, as improbable as it is, these two ophthalmic professionals found each other and shared enough conceptual common ground that Nadeem invited Robert to do an interview with him."

Larry Fitzgerald: A Hall of Fame Career Built on More Than Talent

When Larry Fitzgerald is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the headlines will surely focus on the numbers: the catches, the yards, the longevity, the loyalty to one franchise. And rightly so. Few receivers in the history of the NFL combined durability, grace, and production the way he did. But if you zoom out, and then zoom in, you’ll find something deeper than stats. You’ll find vision."
