Mental Aspects of Vision

[Stephanos]

These two studies seem to indicate that there are physical changes occurring in the eye as measured by a variety of ophthalmological examinations in people with multiple personality disorder when they switch between personalities.

What explanation could there be for these changes? My understanding was that exercises could not change the shape of the eye let alone simply the mind.

Martin Birnbuam was a professor of mine. He had no explanation though he wasn't a psychiatrist. He was a hard core behavioral optometrist.

I have a patient with MPD in my practice and she's got two different Rxs that differ by about a diopter and a half that she switches between when she has these episodes. In the office, we kind of laugh about it but it's not really funny.

I have no explanation either.
