Imagine being a child trying to read and the text is blurry, double, or even appears to be moving. You've seen this way your entire life and don't realize that it's any different than any other person. You've passed your school vision screening and yet you're still getting headaches and dread doing schoolwork or anything related to reading, including math story problems.

Did you know, this occurs with 1 out of every 4 students? Unfortunately, a functional vision problem can still exist even with 20/20 vision for seeing the board.
