Some vision problems can be difficult to detect and may require treatment other than or in addition to glasses. Often such problems go undiagnosed and can interfere with work and academic achievement. Vision is a learned skill and is more complex than just having 20/20 eyesight. It is an intricate process involving over 20 visual abilities. Nearly 80 % of what we learn, comprehend and retain depends of the efficiency of the visual system.
Functional vision problems can cause a range of symptoms like these:
-distance blur after near work
-difficulty concentrating when reading and retaining information
-falling asleep when reading
-headaches or discomfort from reading
-avoiding near work or reading
-poor or inconsistent performance in sports
-avoiding sports or games
-double vision
-burning, red, watery eyes
A visual therapy program tailored to the diagnosis and individual can resolve many vision problems that cannot be adequately addressed with glasses alone. The typical program lasts for 10 to 20 visits, depending on the nature of the problem.
