As we were putting together a post on amblyopia, we researched the keywords that people use when they search on the Internet for the condition.  A surprising one came to the forefront:  Lazy eyes.

If you’ve been told that you or your child is too old to have amblyopia, or "lazy eye," corrected, someone has done you a true disservice. Here's how to fix a lazy eye.

Does your child reverse words when he or she reads or writes? 

If you notice this occurring, your first thought will be that your child is dyslexic, as the tendency to reverse words is often thought to be one of dyslexia’s telltale symptoms.  Because 5-10% of the population has dyslexia, this may be the case. 

Children with writing difficulties face enormous challenges in school.  The skill is essential for creative writing, test-taking, and simple communication (and no, kids, texting doesn't count as a writing skill.)

Every parent has seen their kids rubbing their eyes or complaining that their “eyes hurt”. Your initial reaction might be that they either have allergies or have spent too much time in an over-chlorinated pool. Both cases might be correct, but these symptoms may also be an indicator of a much larger vision problem. 

In this three part series, we’ll look at the telltale symptoms of a surprising cause of learning problems:  vision issues.  This post focuses on behavior-related symptoms of a vision problem.

A success story from Angela Martin, a client of The Vision Therapy Center. My lifelong dream was to get a college education, but it seemed as though it would be impossible for me to achieve that goal. No matter how hard I studied for those exams, I just couldn’t seem to get better than a C. If high school was that hard, how hard must college be?
