When children are learning to read it is important to check their eyes. Most eye doctors are not trained to diagnose or treat the many other eye problems that you or your child may have. Just because a doctor says that they have 20/20 vision does not mean they can see correctly. It does not mean they are processing what they see correctly. There are 17 vision skills necessary to see at your best! Vision therapy is here to help you hone in on those skills so that you can see clearly. Refraction, or visual acuity, is only one piece of seeing clearly, and it determines your corrective lens prescription. But many other factors go into how well your eyes work. For example, one of the functions of your eyes is to work effectively with your brain to translate light entering the eye into comprehensible images and information.
