Some people may think that vision is boring.

But in the context of life, is there anything more important than vision?

I don't think so.

Maybe you could tell people who are listening, give them a brief background on yourself.

What are your credentials and what is your background in vision?

I work with vision.

For the last 40, 45 years, I've been helping people to use their eyes, or rather I use their eyes to help people

train their own brains. Most of seeing is done with your brain using your eyes. And so in that area,

I have spoken across the world, written in referee journals, written books.

It's kind of what I do day by day, and I love it.

Now, Vision is something I feel like most people don't even think about or take for granted.

Why did you become so fascinated by vision?

Well, I was actually an English major, and I loved English major because I loved reading,

but I also loved eating. So I thought maybe I should do something that I could live off of.

And so I thought about optometry.

It wasn't until my third year in school that I had a professor that started talking about what vision really is about and how it dominates our life and how it changes our life.

And at that point, I just got very, very interested in what I was doing and have gone ever since.

At what point did you realize there's more to this than what you thought?

I mean, most people think of vision as how sharply they can see something in a lot far away like with the

snellen chart they think of do i have 2020 or not well um i had a a child i work with his

name was hal and you know it's 50 years ago so i doubt if you'll be upset um and Hal was a little boy with a crossed eye.

So he looked quite different than other people.
