| Sumario: | Rachel Hochman was born with a unilateral congenital cataract that was removed at the age of two. Her dominant eye was subsequently patched from the age of two through ten. She wore a hard contact lens until the age of 29 when she received a lens implant. She did not engage in vision therapy until the age of 36 after learning about it while listening to an interview with Dr. Susan Barry on National Public Radio. Vision therapy changed Rachel's life. When she was monocular, she looked out at the world. Now that she is binocular, she experiences being part of the world. The neurological transformation to binocular vision created positive kinesthetic, psychological, and emotional changes she is extremely grateful to experience on a daily basis.
