Reading & Learning

Reading and Learning difficulties may be associated with vision disorders. They can include double vision or poor tracking, focusing, eye teaming, or reading comprehension. It is important to rule out a vision disorder to determine if it is affecting reading and learning. These difficulties may often be found in children with dyslexia or ADD/ADHD, and even in patients misdiagnosed with disorders such as ADHD.

Adult Vision Therapy

Many people think that vision therapy is only for children. However, adults have as much need for specialized vision care as children. When people have trouble using both eyes together or can't focus for great lengths of time, they do not simply grow out of these problems. Children with visual problems often become adults with visual problems.
