Dr. Nazir Brelvi, OD

Dr. Nazir Brelvi is an Optometric Physician in a busy private practice. Apart from his primer on Cognitive Optometry back in 2007, of which this current book is a continuation, Nazir has authored several riveting science-based adventure books that explore pre-human evolution between three million and 1.4 million years ago.

Dr. Brelvi graduated from SUNY: State College of Optometry in New York City and has traveled extensively in India, Africa, Europe and South America.

Realizing in 2007, that some school children in the greater Hackettstown/Mount olive area were not receiving adequate vision care, Dr. Brelvi founded the KidSEE 20/20 Foundation, an innovative non-profit organization that offers eye examns to kids at nominal fees.

Dr. Brelvi lives in Panther Valley of Allamuchy, NJ with his wife, Sarah and their little Shih-Tzu, Suki.

New Book Just Released ! In this riveting third episode of the five-part Hominid series, Dr. Brelvi delves into the pre-verbal world of our early ancestors living 2.2 million years ago. Zak and friends, along with Dr. Abu Baqr, an intrepid Arab paleontologist from Khartoum, explore the wild Sudd swamps of southeastern Sudan. Over the span of ten action-packed days, the team explores the exotic tribal culture of the Masakin Tiwal dwelling today in the Nuba Mountains; clamber up the acrid slopes of Kinyeti, a dormant volcano inhabited by vicious baboons; uncover a trail of human-like footprints left behind by an ancestral human family; witness a violent encounter between two rival clans of Zimba Headhunters and navigate the turbid waters of a croc-infested swamp encircling a freshwater lake choked full of papyrus reeds. Throughout the narrative, Dr. Brelvi flits back and forth between the daily hazards of hominid existence in the dim reaches of pre-history and the potentially fatal dangers lurking in the murky swamps of Lotagipi for Zak and his team as they blaze an intriguing trail through human anthropology.

Newsflash

Three years ago, Microsoft co-founder Paul G Allen put up $100 million to establish the Allen Institute for Brain Science. Its first project would be the Allen Brain Atlas, aimed at accelerating efforts to map where and when every gene in the mouse brain is active.

Last September the Institute unveiled the complete atlas, a 3D map of 21,000 genes resolved down to individual cells. Because mice and humans share up to 90 percent of the same genes, researchers hope that such a map will provide insights into the genetics of human brain development, functioning and disease, including Alzheimer’s, addiction and autism.

Interview with Mel at WNTI

It was fun talking with Mel about the KidSEE 20/20 Foundation and some of the other projects I am currently involved in. Sarah and I were visiting with Jane&Darius in NYC last weekend and took in some gorgeous views of the waterfront along the Hudson and across of Jersey City.
Friday, I saw KidSEE patient # 439. The kid was ecstatic with how clear everything appeared with the new Rx. That's what its all about.
Cheers for 'listening'. Later for now.

Welcome to my Blog

Hello, my name is Dr. Nazir Brelvi and this is my new blog. Here, I would like to discuss two aspects of my professional involvement: Cognitive Optometry and the KidSEE 20/20 Foundation, which aims to ensure that all school children between the ages of five and fifteen have access to affordable eye exams and eye-wear, at a modern facility run by trained professionals.
