Randall Walker, MD,

        is a practicing physician,

           clinical investigator,

        and educator

            at a College of Medicine

               in Rochester, Minnesota.

                                                                       

     In the mid-1990s,

        he became aware

            of subtle visual problems

                 in young people (and himself)

               that impaired

                   their reading performance,

        especially from computer displays.

 

     He came to understand

         that everyone

            could read better

       if the way

          the words were presented

        was more consistent

           with the way our eyes

              and brain actually work.
