Thanks, Regina, for being a precious friend, too, and for all your support and encouragement. I hope and pray Vision First turns into a big success and can help many, many children.

Ferhan…I hope, too, that your Pakistani children can get the eye care they deserve. You are a great leader to know the importance of their visual needs. Ferhan, I’m hoping my great doctor friends can help here. There is a wonderful organization called VOSH that may be able to help. I will contact you with more information soon.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving…

Dear!

I fear that Pakistani children will go without eye care.

Lucy, Dalia, and Rachael….thank you so much for your kind words and generous support.

I feel very lucky and blessed to have wonderful people like you by my side!

Yes…Vision First is a great cause. I will continue to push for “Amy’s Law” and a required eye exam before starting school in every state.

Thanks, again, for helping to make that happen!

jANET, MY DEAR , PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON DEVELOPMENT AS THEY OCCURR AND WITHOUT A DOUBT WHEN MY STORY IS TOLD BEFORE CONGRESS, NO DOUBT THAT “PRESERVATION OF sIGNT LAW OF 2009 WILL BE VOTED ON SUCCESSFULLY AND PAST ON TO pRE. oBAMA TO BE PASSED INTO A NATIONAL LAW THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR THE VERY SPECIAL NEEDS OF VERY SPECIAL KIDS WHICH ARE eARLY IDENTIFICATION AND early correction by eye care specialists wich may include (surgery during to align the eyes cosmetically with hopes that nature will take over and fusion will take place in the child’s neuological system. If fusion does not happen than Orthotic theraphy to equalize the images in both eyes should be made available to our very special kids and rehabilitation of binocular vision training should be granted to the Kids. perhaps we should start thinking about vision training (like speech training and other training programs) should be impemented under “SPECIAL EDUCATION FOR KIDS IN NEED OF LEARNING TO USE THEIR TWO EYES TOGETHER AS ONE, BY means of orthoptic therapy and/or vision training under the classificationof “DEVELOPMENTAL VISION’ AS THE PROCESS IS KNOWN IN THE OPTOMETRIC PROFESSION AND TAUGHT AT THE GESELL INSTITUTE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT (COVT) COLLEGE OF OPTOMETY VISION TRAINING

Today with the PediaVision available every child can request their pediatrician (during their well baby clinic ) to inform the parents as to whether or not the child has an eye muscle imbalance or/and a refractive error (blurred or distorted vision) that needs immediate correction by an eye care specialist. This is every child’s right in order for them to develop comfortable and efficient binocular vision. If the fusion mechanism is not stabilized by the time a chld is one year old, there definitely is a neuro- visual problem which needs to be identified, and early correction is an absolute necessity. keep pushing for Amy’s law to be passed and yes indeed Rachael’s dream of eradicating amblyopia will become a reality. just call on me for further help if you need it. I have been there and i have a true story and medical history to back up these facts.
EARLY DETECTION IS ABSOLUTE NECESSARY.
