".....Dominick M Maino, O.D., M.Ed., FAAO, FCOVD-A, professor of pediatrics and binocular vision at the Illinois College of Optometry and private practitioner at Lyons Family Eye Care in Chicago, imagines a world in which people with dementia wear unobtrusive GPS devices that allow family members to easily track them if they leave the safety of their homes. Or, he imagines Google Contacts, which are being designed to monitor blood glucose levels, working seamlessly with insulin pumps, so one's blood sugar never veers out of healthy range. The possibilities are endless. Already, engineers are developing bracelets for the hearing impaired that can translate hand movements into words. For optometrists such as Dr. Maino, who see a great number of patients with disabilities, such technology could be quite useful.
"In the not-too-distant future—probably in my lifetime—both in terms of prevention and monitoring of health, we will probably all be wearing one or more devices that talk to each other," Dr. Maino says. "But right now, much of this is in the development stage or just vaporware."...."

Aging Oxidative Stress and Dietary OxidantsDominick Maino
This book review summarizes the text "Aging: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants" which discusses how oxidative stress impacts the aging process and various age-related diseases. It contains 29 chapters authored by 82 contributors exploring topics like the role of antioxidants in reducing frailty, supporting cardiovascular health and preventing Alzheimer's disease. The review highlights how certain foods, herbs, spices and supplements can potentially slow aging by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation. While technical at times, the book's diagrams and photographs help explain complex topics for readers without extensive scientific backgrounds. The reviewer recommends it for anyone wanting to better understand senior health and the science behind antioxidants.

My students and I wrote several translations of how to conduct an eye examination (mostly my students since my language skills are not very good!). I know there are many ways, and perhaps better ways to ask these questions, but this could be a starting point. Feel free to adapt this to your needs and to make this even better. Please share when you do.

Neuroplasticity and Vision Therapy for Adults; A Case SeriesDominick Maino
This poster was presented at the American Optometric Association's Annual meeting in Boston, MA 06/2016
The bottom line:
The visual cortex has the capacity for experience dependent change (neuroplasticity) throughout life. Unfortunately, when it comes to the adult with binocular vision problems, this is not always recognized as being true even though there is strong clinical evidence to suggest a high level of adult neuroplasticity. Current research shows that adults tend to have numerous anomalies associated with the binocular vision system especially within certain populations. This case series demonstrates how those even approaching 70 years of age can benefit from optometric vision therapy.

Writing the Perfect Poster Abstract in 20 Minutes or LessDominick Maino
One of the easiest ways to begin your publishing career is to present a poster during one of the many annual meetings held by professional optometry. These meetings include but are not limited to the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, American Academy of Optometry and the American Optometric Association. This presentation reviews the step by step process involved in writing an abstract that will be accepted for presentation by these and other organizations most of the time. Once the abstract is written, you are one third of the way to making a significant contribution to the optometric literature. The other two thirds include, creating the poster and writing the final paper to be submitted to an appropriate journal for publication (the last two topics will be addressed at other meetings and/or within future VDR articles). You are encouraged to bring information for a case report and/or case series that you wish to use for a poster in the future.

Conclusion
It is time for all to put aside our agendas,
our biases, our preconceived notions. It is time
to work together to determine best practices
even if it is contrary to prevailing opinion. The
world is not flat. Amblyopia can be treated at
any age. And optometric vision therapy is an
appropriate treatment modality for disorders of
he binocular vision system.
Amid the constant barrage of distractions and dwindling motivation, self-discipline emerges as the unwavering beacon that guides individuals toward triumph. This vital quality serves as the key to unlocking one’s true potential, whether the aspiration is to attain personal goals, ascend the career ladder, or refine everyday habits.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

1. This year, as every year it seems, the Maino Family, does incredible things! Most were awe-
some, many educational, a few…well, we could use your prayers at times.
Our incredible daughter, Christina is active at the Noble Charter School UIC College Prep. She
has worked for various non-profit organizations across Chicagoland teaching those with devel-
opmental and mental health problems such topics as math, reading, money management and
coping skills. She has previously held positions as a Mental Health Professional and Qualified
Intellectual Disability Professional and uses these abilities as part of UIC College Prep's Support
Services Team. Since Sylvia and I often take care of those with disability, we are very proud of
our daughter’s many accomplishments! When she’s not working (or hanging out with this fella
Ryan whom she seems to like quite a bit), she has fun with our grandsons Dominic IV and Vin-
nie! She also helps Sylvia take care of her grandmother, Carmen.
Dominic III, Edie, Dominic IV and Vincenzo are always an important part of our lives throughout
the year. Dominic has a degree in business and currently works for Devry University, while Edie
is a techy with AT&T. She solves all my iPhone issues!!! Dominic IV is in 3rd
grade, taking guitar
lesions and with his brother, Vinnie, carrying on the Maino tradition of being talented, extremely
bright, handsome, etc. (As a grandfather, I may be a bit biased!)
Sylvia, my incredible wife and partner, is one of the primary care providers for her mother who
has Alzheimer ’s disease. From Sunday thru Wed, she is at her mom’s house doing all those
things necessary to help her mom. Sylvia’s sister, Nilsa takes over on Friday until Sunday with
several other family members helping out during the week as well (thanks Christina, Theresa,
Greggo and many more!). On Thursday, Friday and some weekends you will find her taking care
of children at the new Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago which is now located right next to
Northwestern Hospital & Med School downtown. She also is the head of the Art & Environment
Committee and sings alto in the choir at St. Bartholomew Church. I try to get her out and about
as often as possible which includes seeing plays at the Filament Theatre and the Gift Theatre,
going to Sing-Along Messiah concerts and attending various functions in the neighborhood. We
are experiencing a major boom, with many new neighbors moving in, new businesses opening
up, great culture (theater, museums, art, music) and more! We also had a chance to go to the
UK (Wales & England, more about that in a bit).
I’ve been fairly busy as well. I’m teaching, conducting research, and seeing patients at the Illinois
College of Optometry/Illinois Eye Institute and at Lyons Family Eye Care. I really love what I do,
so I’m not sure when retirement may become part of my lifestyle. This year I presented research
and lectured at the International Congress of Behavioral Optometry in Birmingham, UK; the AOA
meeting and this coming April, during the COVD meeting in Las Vegas (I know, it’s a tough job,
but someones gotta do it!!!). I still do a great deal of writing/editing and am an editor/journal
board member for several publications.
Chicago is an incredible city and I’ve taken to heart the concept of local involvement. I’m sup-
porting the re-election campaign of my Alderman, serve on the Board of Directors of the
Filament Theatre and in general a real proponent of all the great and new opportunities, restau-
rants, cultural venues and more going on right where I live. It is exhilarating!!! I had an opportuni-
ty to sing with the Paderewski Symphonic Orchestra and Chorus at the Copernicus Center
(alongside incredibly talented soloists) and during the rather eclectic St. Bart’s concert this De-
cember (We included Christmas music, a male Norwegian Chorus, Hispanic and Children’s
Choir and several soloists).
I’m sure the future holds many great things for my family and yours! We wish you all a
very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with good health, fiscal
security, friendship, and love. Have a bit of fun too!
