What a delight to read philosopher Alva Noë’s latest book, THE ENTANGLEMENT: How Art and Philosophy Make Us What We Are.1 We first met Alva Noë as a speaker at our 2012, Ft. Worth, COVD meeting. Since what we do is an art thoroughly entangled with philosophy and life, Noë’s insights are especially valuable. Many of us imagine that behavior and vision share an intimate relationship. As for the nature of the relationship, there are probably as many perspectives as there are practitioners who have thought about vision for a professional lifetime. Our disagreements are a testament to the elusiveness of the visual process. Our persistent diversity of thought, however, agrees with Noë’s observation that philosophers aim at “not agreement, but persuasion, that is to say, conversion. They seek to see the world anew. And this is an aesthetic project.”

Sixth cranial nerve (abducens) palsy is a common manifestation of acquired brain injury. Abducens nerve damage results in esotropia and horizontal diplopia. The current standard of care appears to be no treatment initially other than monocular occlusion or limited use of Fresnel prism, followed by Botox or strabismus surgery at 6-12 months post injury.

Background: Infants with head tilts are most often diagnosed with torticollis and are referred to a pediatric physical therapist for evaluation and treatment. Determining if the head position is muscular or non-muscular when assessing these infants is key in making the appropriate referrals to other specialists and determining the best treatment approach. Most pediatric physical therapists treat patients with head tilts with manual therapy (i.e. massage, myofascial release, and passive/active range of motion). Many physical therapists only consider a visual etiology as a possibility after other treatment options have been exhausted and the head tilt persists. Although the incidence of torticollis has increased, based on the author’s experience, the number of cases of non-muscular etiology has also increased. There is a lack of current research on the use of prism glasses for treating head tilts in young children and infants carrying a diagnosis of torticollis, especially those presenting without any active/passive motion limitations. Traditionally, these patients undergo years of treatment without resolution of the head tilt. Case Report: A two-year-old patient initially presented with a diagnosis of torticollis with an intermittent and alternating head tilt for physical therapy. After several months of manual therapy, with little improvement in her head posture, the patient’s physical therapist referred her to a behavioral optometrist for a comprehensive vision examination and to pursue alternative treatment options. The optometric evaluation revealed ocular misalignment causing poor depth perception skills and prism glasses were prescribed full-time with the recommendation of continuing physical therapy for gross motor development. Conclusion: Prism glasses are an appropriate treatment consideration for some pediatric patients with persistent head tilts because they can provide immediate improvement in head position and depth perception. It is important to include optometrists in the multi-disciplinary team when working with patients with head tilts. Pediatric physical therapists would benefit from training on how to properly screen visual skills when evaluating children with head tilts. With such training, an appropriate optometric referral could be initiated early on in treatment.

Background: Vestibular and vision functions are important contributors to posture control and fall avoidance. This review examines how the vestibulo-ocular reflex can be rehabilitated to help restore postural control. Methods: PubMed searches (7th April 2021) using the terms ‘vestibulo-ocular reflex’, ‘imbalance and vestibular dysfunction’, ‘vestibular dysfunction and dizziness’, ‘dynamic visual acuity’, ‘vestibular dysfunction rehabilitation’, and ‘gaze stabilization exercises’ yielded 4986, 495, 3576,1830, 3312, and 137 potentially useful publications respectively. Selections of those which were found to be the most relevant and representative of a balanced and current account of these topics, as well as selections from the most relevant reports referenced in those publications, were included in this review. Results: Just as there are age-related losses of static visual acuity even when there are no specific visual pathologies diagnosed, patients may also present with age-related loss of vestibular functions in the absence of specific vestibular pathologies. For example, cases of dizziness which are diagnosed as idiopathic might be usefully classified as age-related as the basis for the initiation of rehabilitation exercises. Conclusions: Apart from age-related loss of vestibular functions, cases diagnosed as having a particular form of vestibular pathology may have that condition exacerbated by age-related losses of vestibular functions. The effects of vestibular rehabilitation gaze stability exercises in patients with vestibular dysfunction are well established and include both improved dynamic acuity and postural stability. Improvements in posture control following rehabilitation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex are apparently due to improved peripheral and/or central vestibular balance control which has occurred in conjunction with enhanced gaze stability. The complex nature of increased fall risk suggests that an interdisciplinary approach to rehabilitation that includes vestibulo-ocular reflex rehabilitation appears likely to be associated with optimum outcomes for both pathological and age-related cases.

Background: Rod-Cone Dystrophies (RCDs) are characterized by the dominant clinical features of rods manifestation predominantly over the cones such as night blindness and peripheral vision worsening that leads to restricted activities of daily living. There are no medical or surgical treatments available for this disease. A combined approach of syntonic phototherapy along with the vision therapy may be a viable treatment option for the improvement in visual efficiency skills and visual function of RCD patients. Case Reports: Case 1: A female, aged 47 years old, diagnosed with severe RCD and complained of poor sight and difficulty in seeing at night in both eyes along with progressive diminution of vision for the past ten years. Case 2: A boy, 11 years of age, diagnosed with severe RCD and presented with major complaints of progressive vision loss, photophobia and falling short in school performance. Both patients were recommended for a combined treatment approach of syntonic phototherapy combined with vision therapy to be completed in our centre. Conclusion: These two patients showed significant improvement in visual acuity, oculomotor motility and visual field. Further research is recommended to enrich our understanding on the use of syntonic phototherapy along with vision therapy in managing patients with RCD which otherwise lacks in specific medical or surgical treatment.

Background: The present study was designed to assess a protocol for investigating normative trends of kinetic color visual field sizes and reproducibility of such utilizing the Automated Functional Color Field Tester (FCFTester). Methods: The participants were recruited at three clinical sites. The participants were screened for the study based on a questionnaire designed by the authors to help assess the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were 116 adult-only participants, however, only those reporting White race (n = 106) were used for statistical analysis. The mean age was 35.8 (std = 14) and nearly 70% of the sample was female. Results: This study demonstrated that kinetic visual field sizes across all four color isopters are not influenced by gender (p = 0.96) nor eye tested (p = 0.46). Only a slight difference in mean visual field sizes was found between the three clinical sites ranging from less than 2.5 degrees when the target was blue or green to less than 1.5 degrees for white or red targets. Overall, age had limited, yet significant, influence on kinetic field sizes likely related to the relatively young age of our participants. A significant difference in mean field size existed when comparing the four color isopters with an ascending order of green, red, blue, and white. This pattern was consistent across the three testing sites. Variability in field size for each color isopter was slight across the three clinical sites. Conclusion: The present pilot study shows promise that a protocol can be established to provide reproducible data and normative trends in kinetic color visual field testing. The authors recognize that this should be achievable with further refinement of the current testing protocol.

Background: Children with cerebral visual impairment (CVI) and/or developmental delay (DD) have a higher incidence of oculomotor dysfunction and visual perceptual challenges, in addition to challenges with motor control and body awareness. Such disorders could negatively impact one’s quality of life. Case Summary: This case demonstrates the efficacy of modified vision therapy (VT) activities in a 5-year-old child with CVI and DD. She completes roughly 50 sessions of VT and shows significant improvements in visual tracking and visual perceptual (VP) skills. Conclusions: This case emphasizes that children with CVI and/ or DD can benefit from VT. The progress of therapy may be affected by other motor and cognitive challenges; therefore, visual modifications to standard VT procedures can improve therapy success in these patients.
