Pain, imbalance and learning difficulties are the \u201cmain groups of symptoms of proprioceptive origin.\u201d These symptoms \u201cshould be assessed by a specialist, who will do personalised treatment and make the necessary referral.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Shamir, these symptoms, together with \u201cimbalance, lack of mobility and pain in the limbs and back on a regular basis,\u201d lead to the recommendation of \u201cactive prismatic lenses.\u201d These are spectacle lenses which \u201cimprove postural correction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day to day, an incorrect posture can \u201ccause various health problems! But postural correction can be achieved through the \u201cuse of specific ophthalmic lenses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postural Deficiency Syndrome (PDS), despite not being well-known, is a \u201cdysregulation of the proprioceptive system, caused by frequent postural errors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treatment of this Syndrome involves the \u201cuse of ophthalmic lenses with active prisms. The lenses, also used by Shamir, with active prisms, are developed and worked on \u201cin order to act at brain level,\u201d and aim to \u201ccorrect the proprioceptive system, correcting the spatial perception deficit and forcing the proprioceptive system to normalise its functioning, using the visual pathway to reach the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These lenses are not \u201cnecessarily graduated as they do not aim to correct vision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proprioception was first described in 1906 by physiologist Sherrington as a sixth sense, which defines the state of the body with its relationship with space. In the last few years, we have seen the involvement of multidisciplinary teams from different areas (physiologists, physiotherapists, dentists, ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to one of the \u201ccountry\u2019s leading specialist in ophthalmoposturology, the renowned ophthalmologist Orlando Alves da Silva, who has studied and worked in this field on a daily basis, proprioception is the sense that informs the brain about the state of our body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 1977, Orlando Alves da Silva had already treated \u201cmore than 30 thousand cases of dyslexia, vertigens and muscular pains, having developed an exclusive treatment that involves, besides the active prismatic lenses, a postural reprogramming and a positional correction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
