As we jump into the new school year, we start to see many of the same schoolwork and behavior issues appear from the previous year. You have tried tirelessly to figure out why your child is struggling in school and why they avoid reading, even after having an eye exam and getting perfect results. Unfortunately 1 in 4 children has a learning-related vision problem affecting their near vision, even if they see 20/20 far away and pass a standard vision screening.

Signs VISION could be interfering with reading:

•Skips or repeats words/lines

•Must re-read for comprehension

•Rubs eyes frequently

•Headaches, eyestrain, and fatigue with reading

•Excessive time required to complete reading and assignments

We invite you to attend this workshop and talk with developmental optometrist, Neil Renaud, OD, FAAO, FCOVD. He will help you understand what you need to know about your child's vision and leave with screening tools that you can do at home.

Have You Heard?

Kids often don't understand the way they see is not right since they've always seen like this. While discussing their vision with Dr. Neil, they often describe how they view text, below are some examples of what we have heard. It's often not until their vision is tested that they are able to express how they see.

•Double vision

•Blurry vision

•Words melt on the page

•Words appear to swim on the page

•Parts of the page disappear

•Letters appear to vibrate
