ABOUT OPTOMETRIC SERVICES
Good vision is much more than seeing 20/20. To understand what our eyes see, we need to see clearly and be able to make sense of what we see. These are skills we develop in early childhood. Some children develop them more slowly or at a different rate than the norm and as a result have difficulty learning to read and write. In fact, researchers have found that up to 85% of children with learning problems have significant delays in vision skills.

For example, even if your child has 20/20 vision, he/she may see "was" as "saw", or the letter " b " as " d ", " g " or " p " or he/she may see two images on a page, or tell you that the words and lines jump around on the page.

Our specially trained optometrists and optometric staff identify and correct vision related learning problems. With their help, your child can learn to see words as they are written, know the difference between similar letters and see words and letters that stay in the same place. The Vision Clinic also can fill corrective contacts and lens prescriptions for children and adults.
