Focusing on Hidden Vision Problems in Children
Vision therapy can't solve all problems, but it can help children build a visual function that most of us take for granted. Of course there will still be other reasons for attention drift. Some have auditory problems. Some have food allergies. And some have sensory integration and developmental vision problems. All of these children will benefit from a thorough evaluation of their symptoms.

Irlen Lens Method
During the past 20 years, Irlen has documented the wide array of misperceptions experienced by those with Irlen Syndrome and determined how misperception affects reading and other visual activities. Most importantly, Irlen discovered the use of color as a treatment to eliminate perceptual distortions which, for some, occur when reading, copying, using the computer, and engaging in other visual activities.

Leading pediatrician speaks on vision and learning disabilities
If you have tried all the nutritional changes that you can think of, and the teacher says that your child just cannot "get it," it would be smart to consult with a developmental optometrist. Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, strabismus, amblyopia, and poor accommodation can often be figured out by the parents or the ophthalmologist, but how the child processes what is coming into the retina and on back to the brain for organization may have to be left to the optometrist, preferably one who does developmental optometry including perceptual sensory training.
