We find out what's causing the problem and the patient learns how to correct the deficiencies.
Vision and Learning
- Poor focusing causes blur and fatigue.
- Spilling liquids
- Tripping or falling often-several times a week
- Bumping into objects
- Poor muscle balance causes constant or intermittent double vision and eye strain.
- Poor tracking causes loss of place and poor comprehension when reading.
- Poor visual discrimination of size, form, direction, color, and space causes confusion and failure to learn.
- Poor Visual memory- long and short term-interrupts information processing required in reading, learning and all around performance.
- Poor Visual motor skills - the eye programming body movement- causes clumsiness, lack of coordination and spatial disorganization. Failure to function in this area at a developmentally age appropriate level will affect all areas of development. Many patients who are in Occupational Therapy find that Vision Therapy allows significant breakthroughs in their progress.
