Who's watching? 3D TV viewership so small it can't be measured
Way down at the bottom of this story I was quoted as saying:
"....Watching 3-D is a problem for about 6 percent of Americans with certain eye problems, according to Dr. Dominick Maino, a professor with the Illinois College of Optometry. They simply can't see in 3-D or suffer dizziness or nausea when watching...."
What FOXNEWS forgot to add was that optometry can make 3D viewing for most individuals enjoyable through Optometric Vision Therapy.
For more information contact 3DEyeHealth, American Optometric Association, College of Optometrists in Vision Development, Optometric Extension Program Foundation and myself or my colleague, Dr. Stephanie Lyons at Lyons Family Eye Care. To read the full story, click on the ttle above. DM

One-Year Strabismus Outcomes in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study
One-Year Strabismus Outcomes in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study
.....Strabismus developed within the first 12 months of follow-up in 38 pseudophakic infants (66.7%) and 42 infant (74.5%) treated with contact lenses (P = 0.59). The younger cohort ... at the time of surgery demonstrated less strabismus (29 of 50...) than the older cohort (... 51 of 64 ... P<0 .01="" b="">.Intraocular lens placement does not prevent the early development of strabismus
after congenital cataract surgery. However, strabismus was less likely to develop in infants whose cataract was removed at an earlier age
Comments: As far as I can tell, none of the patients involved had any stimulation of binocular vision post surgical intervention. I would like to see how many individuals develop strabismus if each subject underwent vision therapy to enhance binocular vision. DM
