Dr. Pilar Vergara busts amblyopia and TBI treatment myths

In this episode, Dr. Pilar Vergara tells how she came to write the book Crossed and Lazy Eyes, Myths, Misconceptions and Truths. She shares that science backs up new ways to treat amblyopia and TBIs and how lives are changed as people receive appropriate treatement.

Dr. Vergara is a true leader in behavioral optometry and vision development. Based in Albacete, Spain, she’s spent over 30 years helping people of all ages improve their visual function—from children struggling in school to adults recovering from brain injuries. Dr. Vergara is a global educator, author of several influential books on vision and learning, and the first Spaniard to be named a Fellow in multiple international optometry organizations. She brings a deep understanding of how vision impacts our lives and a passion for helping people see—not just with their eyes, but with their whole brain.
