Six Signs That You May Need Vision Therapy.
- Headaches. Especially near the eyes or forehead, or occasionally at the back of the head.
- Double Vision. Two objects are seen when only one exists.
- Reduced Reading Performance. Losing your place while reading, rereading words or lines, difficulty with understanding or recalling what you have read, reading slowly.
- Discomfort, Fatigue. Body tension, stress, or pain; weariness at the end of a school or workday.
- Suppression. Information from one eye may be blocked or ignored to avoid seeing double. If the visual problem is not corrected, it may get worse.
- Underachievement. You have the feeling that your child is not doing as well as he/she should, but are unsure as to the cause. Often times, underachievement may have more to do with vision problems than a poor teacher or the difficulty of the class work.
