Episode 23 - What is the link between vision and learning?

To honor National Vision and Learning Month, we're discussing the importance of getting a comprehensive eye exam for children before the start of the school year, like the one we offer, which targets many areas and skills that your family eye doctor usually does not cover. These are necessary for academic and sports success, including depth perception, coordination of both eyes, and visual processing skills.

We also discuss the impact of screen time on visual development and offer tips for parents to help improve their child's visual skills.
Don't forget to schedule an eye exam with us before school starts to ensure your kids are prepared for the new school year.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

(01:49) The uniqueness of our eye exam: child’s academic and sports development on sight.
(04:45) If kids eyes aren’t flexible and strong enough, why can they look at a screen for such a long time?
(07:18) The Processing Piece:  making sense of the visual information. Dyslexia isn’t always the answer.
(11:38) Advanced Tracking Exercises.
