"A learning disability with NO diagnosis is a diagnosis of NO learning disability".
Vision care is one of the most important sense that contributes to about 80% of all our learnings. Some times only refractive error correction might not be enough to help with patient's learning disabilities. Screening, diagnosing and treating learning disabilities are extremely important for overall development of any patient.
In this conversation I had an opportunity to sit across and chat with Ms. Sandra Stark, Founder and CEO of the STARK GRIFFIN™ DYSLEXIA ACADEMY (SGDA) and Ms, Marietjie Cilliers an optometrist from South Africa who is passionate about holistic visual health care
with a special interest in ocular surface disease and pathology, speciality contact lenses and dry eye management.
In this conversation we discuss,
&much more.
Along with all of the learnings check out our fun "Game Segment" to get some interesting insights about our guests.
