Since 80% of what a child learns in school happens through vision, it is crucial their eyesight and visual processing skills be tested. A child performing poorly in school, especially in reading, could have an undetected vision problem despite 20/20 clarity.

Your child can be tested for uncontrolled focusing, improper tracking, poor eye coordination, visual memory and other visual organizational skills that impact reading, spelling, writing, math, and comprehension. See the tabs on Warning Signs for Vision problems and Not All Vision Problems Require Glasses for more information.
