According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), 1 in 4 children has a vision problem that impacts their reading and academic performance.
Many people mistakenly believe that vision is defined by how well you can see objects at varying distances. However, vision is so much more than that.
There are at least 17 essential visual skills that help you see clearly and comfortably for near and far, as well as while reading, writing, spelling, crafting, playing sports, and more!
So if your child is struggling to read at grade level or showing signs of a learning difficulty, it’s important to find out if a vision problem is at the root of their issues.
Fortunately, many vision problems can be effectively treated with a personalized program of vision therapy.
Vision therapy aims to strengthen the connections between the eyes and brain to improve the visual skills necessary for clear and comfortable vision.
