Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 My son Brook always used to look out of the corners of his eyes and he has improved over the years. We have had his vision checked every year by a pediatric opthmalogist. When he was little his teachers said it was a sensory overload thing, but now Brook's new teacher has noticed that he does it too and she thinks he needs glasses meanwhile the doctor says no. The teacher said the other child in the class with DS/ASD had this problem too and he got glasses and really improved his focus and attention.

Maddie also looks out the corner of her eyes often.....sometimes while watching TV. I recall Glenn saying that in his research on kids with autism, he found that many kids did this.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Matt uses his peripheral vision a lot, too. It is spooky how accurately he can throw a ball when using this. Always has. He can throw a baseball accurately enough that you can hit it, all the while not appearing to look at you at all. He is also holding his head very close to the paper at school for reading. I took him to the eye doctor and he said his vision is fine, at least 20/30. THis was an opthamologist, but I wonder if I should find someone who deals with children with disabilties. IF we make it back to Cincinnati this summer (Home for us), I am going to schedule LOTS of appointments at Childrens' Hospital there, the first being with Bonnie .

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Donna, That is very interesting to hear that kids with autism use their peripheral vision more. Maybe it is a sensory overload problem. Anyway the pediatric opthmalogist we see does see a lot of kids with disabilities and is affiliated with the children's hospital and at the moment he says Brook doesn't need any correction. So it's probably not an actual vision problem then. Marisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 does the peripheral vision thing as well. His eyes have been checked and the opthamologist does not feel that it is associated with vision problems. He has done it for as long as I can remember although it does seem to get worse when he is " overloaded " . Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Just a note on the vision subject. I used to have a girlfriend who's son had a vision problem. He always looked at things out of the side of his eyes. I mean he would litterally turn his head so he could view it out of his peripheral vision. The older he got, the stronger and farther he would turn his head. They ended up doing a surgery on his eyes, which helped. He had to have the same surgery again as he got older. I do not know if he will have to have a repeat again in his life or not, I believe they were told that yes it would recurr. Seems like it had something to do with muscles in the eyes. Now, we have a child in our classroom who I notice does the exact same thing. he turns his head to the side to look at things. We had the nurse look at him, she referred him to an eye doctor, they said his vision is fine. That the reason he turns his head is a motor malfunction inside his brain and not treatable. So that's something to ask doctors about too. I am sorry I do not have a name to put to that for you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Anyone able to link MVA trauma/cranial distortion/possible PCS to intermittent peripheral vision " fuzziness " . I appreciate your input. Barrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 , That is easy: whiplash will provoke a cranial distortion, especially at the occiput. Remember the optic nucleus is just anterior to the occiput therefor any shift of that will distort the nuclei.....and wallah!: peripherial vision fussiness. Occipital obliquity is found on almot everyone who walks into this office and each first visit almost always contains a full cranial and facial sutural release. Can't count the number of people who comment to me at how much better they can see!
