Re: Visual Perception- and others

[Guest guest]

A couple questions-

Do the vision changes seem to happen with just the Peptizyde or with

AFP, ZP, No-Fenol as well?

Any difference in far-sighted vs. near-sighted reports of improvement

(my daughter is very far-sighted)?

TIA

I don't have the answer to these questions. My son is nearsighted

and has strabismus. We were playing today with different colored

sunglasses and he seems to do better with red or yellow lenses. He

loved the vision therapy lenses that were one green and the other

one red, and they turned them around (they didn't have sides, just a

rubber band around the head, so you could turn them around)

>>>Did your " eye prescription " change through all the visual

adjustments?

I wear glasses or contact lenses for being near-sighted. My

prescription did not change. But how I was seeing definitely did. My

older son saw similar improvement in his 'seeing' and depth

perception, but he continues to pass eye exams with 20/20 vision.

It is probably like the kids where a hearing test shows there isn't a

problem, but they benefit greatly from auditory therapy. The physical

parts of the eye and ear are functioning, but the nerve signals and

interpretation of the sights and sounds by the brain is messed up.

>>>Do the vision changes seem to happen with just the Peptizyde or

with AFP, ZP, No-Fenol as well?

With my son and myself, it was definitely the Peptizyde. But I

wouldn't be surprised if others benefited similarly from other

enzymes.

Also, very sorry about all the typos in my previous reply...it was

getting late. Maybe my fingers are a bit dyslexic too.

Does anyone know of a vision therapist that is good in Phila. I took my

children to the Eye Insititue and they did not have attention to do the vision

therapy. I guess I am looking for a behavioral Vision therapist

You can check www.covd.org for a starting point. Also ask

optometrists and occupational therapists for recommendations.

Best Wishes!
