Before you begin your journey
Just what is vision? Why do some eye doctors believe there is no relationship between vision and learning? It is simple. They have a limited definition of vision. Although many consider vision and eyesight to mean the same, the terms actually have different meanings. Vision has a strong relationship to learning, while eyesight has a minimal relationship to learning. |
|
Eyesight is just seeing clear pictures. It only consists of clarity of focus. It is like focusing a projector for clarity of the image. It pays no attention to whether the individual can understand what he clearly sees.
Vision includes getting meaning from the images we see. Bob Kraskin, OD, FCOVD defines vision as the deriving of meaning and the direction of action through the utilization of light energy.

An eagle has sharper eyesight than us and sees a stop sign before us, but he would not have the vision (deriving of meaning) to understand that he must stop(direction of action). Vision is deriving meaning from our eyesight. In this case the meaning would be knowledge the stop sign means you have to stop your vehicle. |
|
The eagle is in danger; while we, with less acuity of eye sight, would have the vision (knowledge) to stop.Eyesight, although important, has a limited relationship with learning. The relationship is even backward. Nearsighted people, with worst eyesight, tend to be better students. We knew this since the 30's when the Dartmouth study found college students with better grades had the worst visual acuities (eyesight). Dartmouth students were studied to discover the relationship between vision and learning. Student grades were compared to their eyesight at distance vision.
The data showed a negative relationship between eyesight and college grades. The research only measured eyesight, not vision. The results were miss-interpreted to say vision and learning was not related.

A close look shows how the study came out the way it did. They measured the student’s ability to see clearly at twenty feet, not at sixteen inches where they study. Since nearsighted people see clearly at sixteen inches, they would be the ones with better grades. The irony is that the excessive reading under pressure of getting good grades is what caused their nearsightedness.

Who is Dr. Henshaw privileged to have around him?
LeAnn is the office calmer. Everything around her becomes copacetic. Anyone needs chilling out, she's there.
As an optometric assistant she schedules appointments, bills, performs pre-exam screening, vision field testing, and corneal curvature readings. She orders glasses and contact lenses and verifies and dispenses them. She also does binocular vision testing and laughs a lot. She enjoyed moments with her son Joey who helped out in the office a few days/week. He finished schooling and has a good IT position in a local business. We all miss his presence.

Here is the brains of the office! Ask her, she knows everything. Courtnay is her name. Frankly her intelligence is impressive and wide spread. She is the office neat nick, and nothing but order and neatness surrounds her. If not, just stand back and watch a flurry of activity finding the right place for everything.

Mercedes is a welcome addition to our team that changes lives through innovative vision care. She is the proud mother of four daughters (prayers for her husband)and possibly the reason she brings an atmosphere of peace and gentleness to each patient. She enjoys the fun and friendliness of assistants and patients and humbly seems not to recognize her large part of that atmosphere. She rapidly absorbed the role of an optometric assistant and set her sights on vision therapy, especially for kids. She makes it apparent that stopping for the one is a lesson not only in our practice but in life.
Memona , Jasmine, and Gull to come
All were patients of the office first and all attend Delta College. Jasmine speaks Spanish while Memona has command of languages in Pakistan and India. Gull is our billing assistant so you don't get to see her much, but she keeps the office afloat

Hi, I'm Stefan. I keep the office spic and span each week. I also like to drive Dr, Henshaw crazy by placing at least one item in the wrong place after cleaning. If that doesn't work I empty one recycle waste basket in the regular dumpster! At times I think he might be a tree huger.
Hi, I'm Jane, Stefan's wife. He takes all the glory and I do all the work.
Hi I'm Mohammad, and delivery is my game. I make sure Dr. Henshaw gets all his glasses from the lab each morning.
Our mail lady being quite modest, wouldn't let us show her picture or first name. Yet, every day she brings us the all important mail with a smile.
Bella always knows when she arrives just from the sound of her truck. He has a special noisy greeting for her, so we don't bring her in until after the mail delivery.

, This is Bella, the smallest one at the office. She greets everyone and begs for your lap if you are a dog lover, and she can tell.
The Bella story: Judy and I had a rescue Yorkie name Shelly for only five years. Her passing devastated us as she was greatly loved and too young to die, only ten. Judy used to walk Shelly every day and often would visit another Yorkie named Bella who eventually moved away. |
About a year after we lost Shelly Judy was walking by the home where Bella used to live. She said, "Lord, if you drop off a Yorkie at my door step, I will name her Bella". The next Monday our neighbor was at our door step excitedly asking Judy to inquire about a dog in Sacramento. That's right her name was Bella!
She was a rescue Yorkie, but not for Bella. Her owner was no longer able to care for her. The owner requested many things of the new owner. One was that she would be allowed to visit the office!

Bella was fired!
Many of you have enjoyed Bella’s visits with her eager greetings. She has sat on many a lap during your exam. At one point by allowing a boy to hold her during the exam, we were able to complete testing he normally would not have allowed.

We thought we had her trained to leave the mailman alone by wearing her leash. Then along came a new mailman. He was a bruiser and over 200 pounds! Our six-pound Bella thought he did not belong! With her leash trailing behind and with vociferous barking she ran around the mailman nipping at his heels. We lost mail delivery for three days! It took a letter of apology with a promise to keep her out of the office when mail is delivered to regain delivery.
Bella just had her first Dog Training lesson from Michelle at K-9 SOS.
Michelle said Bella was a fast learner. The only question is can Dr. Henshaw remember the right commands at the right time! Dr Henshaw, Judy and Bella seem to be adjusting to what Michelle taught. Bella is looking forward to her return pending the mailman trials at her home.

Here is Bella reigning court at home where she has been confined.
She has made it very clear she is unhappy about the firing! Bella’s next adventure will be with the dog trainer!

Bella is back!!!
She got an A in her lessons and passed her home trial. We are still not confident she can resist the mail man so she is confined to our afternoon hours when the mail has already arrived.Whoops she got fired again! She barks too much and our dog trainer is temporarily unavailable. Once she is trained again we will bring her back.
