๐คธ Stephen Nedoroscik has made headlines at the 2024 Olympic Games by bringing much-needed awareness to strabismus and coloboma. On July 29, his remarkable performance on the pommel horse helped the US menโs gymnastics team secure a bronze medical.
๐ Nedoroscik competes with both strabismus โ a condition where one eye may be misaligned or move intermittentlyโand coloboma, a condition where part of the eyeโs structure doesnโt fully develop, leading to heightened light sensitivity. These conditions, while relatively common, have rarely received such mainstream attention.
๐๏ธ According to Terri A. Gossard, OS, MS, national medical director of clinical integration for EyeCare Partners, Nedoroscikโs success is a testament to the power of practice and visualization. Gossard explains, โStrabismus can vary from subtle to noticeable, and in Stephenโs case, he can choose which eye to use for fixation.โ
๐ Coloboma, which affects the eyeโs formation during development, adds another layer of challenge. Nedoroscikโs ability to perform at such a high level despite his heightened light sensitivity is nothing short of extraordinary.
๐ Stephen Nedoroscikโs achievements at the Olympics are not just a personal triumph but a significant moment in raising awareness about these ocular conditions.
