"A perfect summer read. Just the right amount of excitement and family drama to be interesting but not heavy. Refreshing to read about a life well-lived with ups and downs, near death experiences and lessons learned. Smart, interesting and funny, the stories in this memoir stayed with me and the book was a quick read, which I looked forward to picking up whenever I had some time to read.”
Karen
"I have been exposed to optometric as well as ophthalmological phases of eyecare.... I refer appropriate patients...and in every instance they benefit a great deal."
George Dupont, M.D. Ophthalmologic Surgeon, Newport Beach, California

"An informative and authoritative publication. An examination of a learning-disabled child without an examination by a practitioner of optometric vision therapy is an incomplete examination."
Allan Cott, M.D., Psychiatrist, New York City

"How glad I am to read this. I wish it had been written when my daughters were in school."
Rosetta Reitz, Author, Menopause, A Positive Approach

"The key to the puzzle. Valuable reading for sore eyes that want vision."
William Dufty, Author, Sugar Blues
Behavioral optometry, a specialty in the field of optometry, has helped countless individuals whose eyesight was excellent but whose vision was not. Among them, Luci Baines Johnson (President L. Johnson's daughter), a roll call of professional and amateure sports teams that includes the New York Yankees, Chicago Black Hawk, Dallas Cowboys and US Olympic medalists. From the chapter, "How you may spot a vision imbalance," to "A home guide for infant vision development," to preventive care for nearsightedness, this book offers a wealth of information.
"I have had some experience treating people with acquired brain injury...behavioural optometry has a real place in the management of this. All physicians should be made aware of behavioural optometry because the benefits are often outstanding and there is little to lose in its trial."
A. Bailey, M.D., Victoria, Australia

"Every medical school should have this book on the required reading list. Practicing physicians frequently encounter the symptoms of vision disorder but have never been given information to make them consider it in treatment or differential diagnosis. Patients' time, agony and money could be reduced if the first physician visited recognised the possibilities."
D. M. Linley, M.D., Connecticut, U.S.

"As I read this book, I found myself experiencing a range of feelings. The strongest was joy as I learned how the lives of so many people had been so positively affected by behavioral optometrists. The second was admiration for the clinical skills of those practitioners."
Julius Luibinas, O.D., Adelaide, Australia.
