A child with reading problems may have an undiagnosed vision problem, not a learning disability likeADD/ADHD or Dyslexia.
Studies show 1 out of 4 children have a vision problem significant enough to affect their performance in school.
Dr. John Metzger, O.D. is a developmental optometrist that works with children and adults whose vision restricts reading, learning and daily life.
Vision is often an overlooked component of learning and reading problems. Approximately 25% of all children and young adults have eye-teaming problems significant enough to cause difficulty in their daily lives, including school work and sports activities.
Many "behavioral" issues such as AD(H)D, Dyslexia, and a general disinterest in school can be linked to vision problems.
