Often times I hear that my child struggles in school and has had regular eye exams. How can vision be the problem? We know that vision is much more than 20/20. In fact, there are more than 17 visual skills needed to ensure successful reading and learning success! Did you know that 80% of what we learn is acquired through vision?
What is the difference between sight vs vision?
Sight vs Vision simply is being able to see 20/20 vs how we take in visual information and process and make sense that information.

In our comprehensive eye examination we will evaluate efficient eye teaming, tracking and focusing. These skills are pivotal fine motor eye movement skills needed to be an efficient and skilled reader. Double vision, skipping over words or lines when reading, substituting/replacing/omitting words when reading and blurred vision are just a few common symptoms of a vision problem that can be caused by poor and inefficient eye movement control.
We have a problem, now what?
Vision therapy is an individualized and targeted approach to improve these fine motor eye movement problems. In most cases, we are able to maximize function and make amazing changes for the kiddos that we work with.
