Dr. Roth: We're here with RM who is 14 years old and he is about midway through his therapy program and he would like to share some thoughts with you.
RM: I came in because I had trouble reading for more than 5 minutes. I couldn't focus on what I was reading. It was hard for sports . I couldn't follow the ball or anything like that. I came into vision therapy and after awhile I now start to read alot more now. I'm not getting headaches and it's easier to understand what's happening. I can play my sports and be able to know where the ball is at all times. I can actually see it coming to me. Vision therapy has helped me with all of that stuff.
Dr. Roth: Who was it who referred you to our office and why?
RM: Dr. Goodman referred me because I got a concussion during a wrestling tournament and it messed with my eyes and I came here because of the issues I was having in school.
Dr. Roth: Was it just one concussion?
RM: Yes.
Dr. Roth: Tell us a little bit about marching band.
RM: I'm in marching band and during school I couldn't play in band because of headaches and couldn't see what I was reading or I would see but it wouldn't match up what I was playing. Now I joined the marching band and I can read all my music and I can play and march at the same time is easy for me too. I can see the notes too.
Dr. Roth: If your problem was a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 at the start where do you feel your problem is now?
RM: Probably a 2.
