 To the Editor:

Thanks so much for that eye-opening article about misalignments in May’s Primary Care Optometry News (“Visual misalignment may be related to cervical misalignment”). It’s great to hear another optometrist talking in such big pictures. Good job.

I would like to say that I have been at this for 38 years from Pacific University. We liked to measure everything we could to see what was going on and liked to tinker with theories for what we saw in the clinic.

I think you hit it right on the nose. Normal innervations are disrupted, and compensations create the consequences. It was nice to hear it stated so clearly. Your concept opens a lot of doors.

Thank you.
