  • Summary

  • Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Dr. Doug Major, neuro-optometrist and pub-lic health advocate, to talk about the eye-opening impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatments and vision care in the justice system. With 40 years worth of experience, Dr. Major provided insight on how focusing on eye and brain health made dramatic changes to literacy and recidivism in corrections, par-ticularly through the most controlled study in the nation for 13- to 19-year old youths. This program went on to inspire and empower these young people, with some of them even becoming vision thera-pists for their peers. He even talked about using halfway-houses specifically for brain injury especially for women, and recognizing the relevance of mental illness for incarcerated people with TBI. Dr. Major also discussed the ease and accessibility of visagraph testing for vision care, and the progress in using virtual reality screening for traumatic brain injury care in athletes. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.
