The influence of public schools over parents became real to me when the replica of the Mayflower appeared for my 7-year-old patient when looking in his eyes. He declared the Pilgrims were mean to the Indians. I said they were friends and that is why we celebrate Thanksgiving. He insisted they weren’t! His mother said of course the Indians were friends with the Pilgrims. Again he insisted, no they weren’t. My teacher told me so!

It is Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder. It is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and my office.

A must read for new parents. Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder by Dr. Bill Henshaw does a beautiful job of blending scripture, vision and the developmental process. He takes you through a parent’s experience and thought process from birth through adulthood. Finally he shows how vision can be affected through out the process and what can be done to aid and prevent vision problems. He discusses how to use the 5 tools, vision hygiene, lens therapy, light therapy, vision therapy and vision processing therapy to guide a child’s development. As a fellow developmental optometrist I highly recommend Looking Over Mother’s Shoulder.

I've been told by Social Security that Medicare does not pay for a vision exam. Is that true?
Not true! From inception, Medicare services have been limited to "medical" services. Yet, almost all patients (even those under 65 eligible for Medicare) have a “medical” condition diagnosed during a vision examination. Medicare is an excellent program for which you and your employer have paid. We accept all Medicare fees as payment in full except for a small fee not covered by Medicare. All other services are accepted as full payment.
