Learning Related Vision Problems

kid on book pile backgroundHere at Brain Vision Institute, we are dedicated to helping those who have reading and learning disabilities.

Approximately 80 percent of what children learn in school is presented to them visually. Experts say that vision and learning are closely related and good vision is vital for students to be able to reach their fullest academic potential.

When a child has difficulty in school, this could be an indicator of vision problems and should be evaluated right away.

Beyond the common problems of nearsightedness and farsightedness, there is a wealth of other visual disorders that can make the learning process more difficult. These disorders are less obvious and relate to the ways the eyes function and the ways the brain processes this visual information. Vision-related learning problems should not be confused with learning disabilities.

Some common symptoms of vision-related learning problems include headaches, eye strain, blurred or double vision, crossed eyes or eyes that move independently from each other, reading or writing close up to the face, excessive blinking or rubbing the eyes frequently, and persistent reversal of words or letters.

If your child is showing these symptoms and having learning difficulties, you’ll want to bring them in right away to see an eye doctor who specializes in children’s vision.

If you have any questions about reading or learning disabilities, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (630) 429-7553.
