Dr. Henshaw grew up outside Boston far away from his now beloved Lodi, CA and attended Pacific University near Portland Oregon. There his love for vision therapy began. After his Doctor of Optometry degree in 1967 he served five years in the Army during the Vietnam War as an optometrist at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C. There Dr. Henshaw learned vision therapy under Dr. Bob Kraskin, the optometrist who did vision therapy for a visually related learning problem that then President Johnson's daughter Lucy had. Walter Reed was near Dr Kraskin's vision therapy practice.
In 1973 he moved to Lodi, CA and assumed this practice from Dr. Calvin Looser a pioneer in vision therapy who established the practice in the early 1900's. |
