Kids' Vision

Even if your child has 20/20 vision, he or she could have vision problems that get in the way of learning.

According to the American Optometric Association, more than 60% of problem learners have undetected vision disorders. There are 17 visual skills critical for learning success, and 20/20 vision is just one of them.

• Struggles with age appropriate fine motor activities such as buttoning buttons or shoe tying.
• Struggles with reading.
• Reverses numbers and letters.
• Skips or rereads lines.
• Loses place while reading
• Headaches with school work.
• Leans head close to writing or coloring activities.
• Takes longer to copy information from the school board then typical.

One-fourth of all children struggle with reading and learning because of undiagnosed vision problems. So how do you find out if your child would benefit from vision therapy?
