In the Princess Who Wore Glasses, Princess Liana goes on a
fun adventure to help with her eyesight.
She has a wonderful visit with Maximilian, the kind magician who gives
her an amazing eye-test that not only assesses Liana’s vision, but also shows
her how great her vision could be!
During her eye-test, the magician uses his kaleidoscope to make things
bigger and brighter for Liana! This
spring and summer, we will be joined by our own “magician”, Dr. Brett Miller,
OD, an optometrist from Triangle Visions in Raleigh, North Carolina. Dr. Miller has a specialty in pediatric vision
care. She loves treating children, and
has so much great advice and practical tips for parents to make sure their kids
are getting the best vision care available.
One of the first things Dr. Miller wants our readers to know
is that there are a number of pediatric eye conditions that cannot be fixed
with a pair of glasses. Wow! Actually, she says, “These are not really even eye
problems, but issues with how the brain processes information that the child
takes in visually.” These are called learning-related vision problems, and they require what is called Vision Therapy.
In our following post, Dr. Miller will help us understand the
specific conditions requiring Vision Therapy, and the assessments that can be
used to help your prince or princess see clearly. I’m looking forward to our upcoming chats
with Dr. Miller!
See ya!
Laura
Dr. Brett Miller, O.D.
