Vision problems in children with learning difficulties

A recent study published in the journal of optometry measured the incidence of eyestrain type problems in a group of 94 children with learning diffi culties. They found anomalies in 62.8%, much higher than expected.

The eyestrain problem may not be the cause of the learning diffi culties, but life would be easier for these children if they had one less problem to deal with.

The study also looked at how useful treatment was and found that almost all the eyestrain problems were improved. I believe this is proof that all children with learning difficulty should be seen by an optometrist with specific training in children’s vision.

Bulk billing is available so if you believe your child would benefi t from a comprehensive eye examination please give us a call to make an appointment.
