Burns 1 out of 1 found this review helpful "Eye Power", co-authored by Dr. Stan Applebaum and Ann Hoopes is a must read for all parents, teachers and coaches. If you know of a child who has struggled academically, underperformed on the athletic field, has been diagnosed with autism or has experienced a traumatic brain injury, this clearly written text will become their guide to the solutions they need. As an pediatric optometrist, I cannot think of a better tool to educate the public on how vision therapy will improve performance. Could vision be a part of the struggle? July 27, 2009 Nancy G. Torgerson (Lynnwood, WA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful "Eye Power" is an easy read that gives insight into how vision may impact those that struggle with learning, sports, acquired brain injury, ADD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. It helps show how vision impacts our daily lives. Through story after story is tells how children and adults are helped through vision therapy. Parents, teachers and caring professionals all need to read "Eye Power." The author is a 76-year-old dynamo! July 4, 2009 J. Magan (Chevy Chase, MD USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful At 76, Ann Hoopes reads the telephone directory without glasses and remains a remarkably-competitive athlete at golf, tennis, and sailing ...attributing her continuing success to visual training. The very week EYE POWER was published, she won the Super Senior women's golf title at The Chevy Chase Club and, as a lifelong musician and former aviatrix, completed the score of her new musical, AMELIA, based on one of her favorite subjects: the exploits of Amelia Earhardt. Vision is much more than 20/20. June 26, 2009 Sue Barry (Massachusetts) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful Eye Power should be read by educators, parents particularly those whose children struggle in school, athletes, people who are cross-eyed, walleyed, or have a lazy eye, and individuals who have suffered from a stroke or other brain injury. How can one book appeal to so many different people? Because Eye Power is about vision and visual skills, and we need these skills to read, hit a baseball, focus our attention while also taking in the space around us, and move with accuracy. This book describes how optometric vision therapy can improve visual skills and, in so doing, vastly improve a person's life. The home vision therapy procedures described at the end of the book are fun to do and illustrate the book's general principles. Not only is Eye Power clearly written but the Resources section and Glossary are very helpful, the general layout is attractive and playful, and the illustrations are simple and clear. A book for adults too June 26, 2009 Thomas Hoopes (Ipswich, MA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is well worth reading, and although very helpful for parents with children who have developmental issues, adults will benefit from it too. I was lucky to have benefited from vision therapy as a child and hope to again as an adult. Showing reviews 1-5 of 12 1 2 3 Next »
