When Dr. Lazarus was 15 years old an event occurred that changed his life, he was diagnosed with a vision problem that required vision therapy!
‘I remember struggling through school with headaches, tired eyes and blurry vision. But I had 20/20 sight. I was examined by a paediatric optometrist, who diagnosed Convergence Insufficiency, 6 months later I was treated and my school results improved significantly’.
Since that time, Dr. Lazarus has dedicated his profession to treating children.
Dr. Lazarus authored the book:‘Bright Child…Slow Reader? Why do Bright Children have Read Slowly and the 21st Century Solutions’
