“25% of students in grades k-6 have visual problems that are serious enough to impede learning.” 
                                        -- American Public Health Association 



 “When vision problems go undetected, children almost invariably have trouble reading and doing their schoolwork. They often display fatigue, fidgeting, and frustrations in the classroom—traits that can lead to a misdiagnosis of dyslexia or other learning disabilities.”             -- American Optometric Association  


 “It is estimated that 80% of children with a learning disability have an undiagnosed vision problem.”         -- Vision Council of America

 


Everyday, children with unrecognized vision problems struggle unnecessarily with reading and learning.
  Research indicates that 1 in 4 children are impacted by these “hidden” vision problems that exist even in children who often have 20/20 eyesight. 

 

According to the National PTA, "It is estimated that more than ten million children (ages 0-10) suffer from vision problems..." and "Typical 'vision' evaluations/screenings only test for a few of the necessary learning related visual skills (...i.e., 20/20 eyesight) leaving most visual skill deficiencies undiagnosed..."     

                             
                                                           All Vision Exams ARE NOT Alike!

The PTA further states, "Knowledge regarding the relationship between poorly developed visual skills and academic performance is not widely held among students, parents, teachers, administrators, and public health officials..." In fact, the National PTA resolved to "provide information to educate members, educators.... and the public at large about learning related visual problems..."

It is our hope that this web site will held you
to understand and identify those children who are suffering from
undetected vision problems that interfere with their ability to read and learn,
and then to find solutions to help them end their unnecessary pain, frustration, and despair.

We believe that there is hope for everyone!
