Does your child get headaches, reverse letters/numbers, skip lines when reading or have a short attention span? Studies show that 1 out of 5 school age children have an undiagnosed visual issue that affects learning. As many as 70% of learning disabled and remedial reading students have a significant visual component to their learning problems.
If your child is struggling in school, Vision Therapy at Optometric Physician of Middle Tennessee can help.
Vision Therapy is an individualized, supervised treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and/or perceptual deficiencies. The goal of VT is to train the brain to use the eyes to receive information effectively, comprehend it quickly and react appropriately. Vision Therapy will enhance eye teaming, focusing, convergence skills, perceptual skills and more.
Vision Therapy can help with a variety of behaviors or disorders. Here are a few examples:
• Lazy eye, crossed-eyes, or wandering eyes
• Squinting or covering one eye to see
• Short attention span (diagnosed with ADHD or ADD)
• Poor visual/motor skills (hand-eye coordination)
• Frequently loses place while reading
• Complains of double vision
