80% of learning is processed through
the eyes.
Vision related problems can be
misdiagnosed as inattention or hyperactivity. Unfortunately,
most school vision screenings only test for distance
vision, whereas near vision is a crucial component in
learning. Children can struggle with numerous vision
related issues which can be resolved with vision therapy.
Eye movements, eye teaming/tracking, and visual information
processing are vital skills for reading and learning.
At Family Optometry of Tracy
we look at all areas where the visual system can break
down. Once the condition is discovered, we create a
vision therapy plan designed specifically to improve
the deficient areas. Our vision therapy schedule is
flexible in that we understand families lead very busy
lives with work, school, and other activities. Our sessions
are packed with numerous exercises to improve reading
skills, eye-hand coordination, and overall self-esteem.
Each session lasts one hour and is scheduled two times
per week for optimal results.
