Oregon Convention Center 

Patients with severe strabismus typically require corrective surgery. Alternatively, or in addition to surgery, the patient may choose a holistic treatment plan including therapy to strengthen the weaker eye. For example, the patient uses a red pen to complete a series of puzzles while wearing red/green glasses. We describe how these activities can be used to introduce the obstacles faced in analyzing censored data, motivating the use of survival analysis techniques.
