After moving to Boulder in 1971, Camille L. Dowis and her husband Roger T. Dowis founded the Boulder Vision Center. They later established the Dowis Vision Therapy Center, also located in Boulder. In this interview, Dowis discusses tools and techniques that she has employed over the course of her long career as a vision therapist. She describes the anatomy of the eye, numerous eyesight and vision disorders, their causes, and her treatment methods. She also mentions the intellectual contributions of several North-American-based Optometric doctors who have influenced the practice of vision therapy, and she shares the findings of some medical studies she has read in the course of her work. In the first portion of the interview, Dowis defines terminology related to vision and sight. The latter part of the interview focuses on specific methods of treatment for various vision disorders. To illustrate the value of vision therapy and the impact her work has had on residents of Boulder, Dowis recalls the stories of specific (anonymous) patients whose experiences left an especially prominent mark on her memory.
