Vision is more than 20/20
We take for granted how our eyes work. Not everyone is able to track, team, and focus the way most of us do. If you or your child have any of these common symptoms, there may be an underlying vision problem that’s gone undetected.
-
Frontal and temporal headaches are common symptoms of many visual disorders.
-
The focusing shift from distant to close should take less than 1 second. If a child can’t focus quickly, they will often fall behind.
-
When a child’s eyes jump around and skip over words, the text will often not make sense. Children with eye movement problems have to reread the text several times to try to fill in the blanks.
-
If a child’s eyes cannot track a moving target, then he or she will not be able to follow a pitched ball.
-
Even with proper correction, some people aren’t able to see clearly. This is sometimes caused by poor focusing ability of the natural lens in the eye.
