  1. Using vision in the real world 1 Mary Bairstow VISION 2020 (UK) Ltd

  2. “Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Lets try three • Understanding how to maximise vision • Getting the best out of optical devices • Techniques that can help

  3. “That's the reason they're called lessons, because they lessen from day to day” Nystagmus – null points and variability Contrast – optimising use of light Focus – which spectacles and when

  4. Alice • Age 7 • Cerebral palsy and nystagmus • The lesson – Null point , reduced accommodation, possible field defect • How Alice learns to lessen……….

  5. I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin • Access to the right equipment • Basic concepts – focus and magnification • Use and flexibility • Examples • Pocket lupe – labels and shops • Hyperocular (high powered lenses with short focus) – reading • Telescope – science – observation at arms length Images from Eschenbach and Visionenhancers

  6. Lewis • Age 14 • Congenital Cataracts • Using stand device, small pocket lupe and binoculars • The lesson –No accommodation, function v form • How Lewis learns to lessen……… Images from Associated Optical and Visionenhancers

  7. ‘‘You may look in front of you, and on both sides, if you like,' said the Sheep’’ • Basic use and repetitive skills • Eccentric viewing • Haemianopia training • Use of minification in localisation • Use of ‘ghost images 'with prisms • Telescope training – scanning / searching

  8. Carol • Age 15 • Stargardt’s maculopathy • Using I pad and mobile phone (oops) + specs, pocket lupe and telescope • The lesson – eccentric viewing, telescope training • How Carol learns to lessen ……. Images from Eschenbach

  9. “Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop” Help a young person use their vision in the real world by lessening the lesson • Understanding of how their vision works • Appreciating use of optical devices • Being adept in their use
