IT COULD BE THEIR EYES!!!

Visual processing disorders make reading and writing a challenge, so many kids choose to avoid school work. Even homework can become a battle. But this is not because your child does not have the ability to read.

It may be their brain-eye connection.

Vision Therapy can help! Call us today 607-257-1500 for a full eye exam with a developmental optometrist and get them ready for a better year in school.

June is Child Vision Awareness Month

Many children live with vision problems without even realizing it. They assume their blurry view of the world is normal but poor vision can silently hinder a child’s academic performance, confidence, and social development. They may be struggling to read the board in class, missing out on games during recess, or failing to recognize friends from a distance. In addition to eyesight, they may also be struggling with a Visual Processing Disorder which can make reading, writing and sports harder.

Most eye doctors will address an eyesight issue without looking beyond. This June, you can help change that by having your child's vision evaluated by a licensed practioner who has expertise in visual development. There is much more to vision than meets to eye.

Call us today to have your child’s vision thoroughly evaluated.
