One of the most famous cases of treatment by a developmental optometrist is neuroscientist Dr. Susan Barry, who, through vision therapy prescribed by developmental optometrist Dr. Theresa Ruggiero, was able to see in three dimensions for the first time in her life at age 47. Her experience had such a profound effect on her personally and intellectually, that she wrote a book, Fixing My Gazeabout it and was the subject of an article in the New Yorker by Oliver Sacks.
