Around 80% of what we learn is processed through our visual system.
Various vision problems can impact an individual’s ability to focus and respond effectively to teacher instructions.
Refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can cause blurred vision or eye strain, negatively affecting classroom performance.

Focusing issues may prevent students from quickly shifting their focus between a book and the chalkboard.

Difficulties using both eyes together can require extra effort and may interfere with processing visual information.

Trouble controlling eye movements could result in losing their place while reading, frequent word guessing, needing a finger to track words, or other subtler challenges.
Visual information processing difficulties can overwhelm children on their first day of school. The academic curriculum assumes that children have certain visual processing abilities and other skills at specific ages.

In other words, is the child’s vision ready for school?
A child who hasn’t developed the necessary vision skills may struggle in school and in life. These struggles can manifest as challenges in reading, writing, math, spelling, problem-solving, sports, playground activities, and even social interactions with peers and siblings. Children with learning-related vision issues may benefit from the use of lenses and prisms, combined with optometric vision development program, for both prevention and treatment of these visual difficulties.
