This is exactly what we do!
Thank you Integrated Learning Strategies

Comment “VISION” and we’ll send you more information on visual development activities that can support eye tracking, focus, and reading skills.

Many children who struggle with reading, copying from the board, or eye fatigue may not have an eyesight problem at all. Sometimes the challenge is how the eyes work together.

This skill is called binocular vision, the ability for both eyes to coordinate and process what we see.

When binocular vision isn’t working efficiently, kids may experience:
👀 Blurred or double vision
👀 Headaches while reading
👀 Difficulty tracking words across a page
👀 Trouble judging distance
👀 Eye fatigue during schoolwork

In some children, retained primitive reflexes can interfere with the development of visual skills needed for reading and learning.

Reflexes that may impact binocular vision include:
🧠 Moro Reflex
🧠 ATNR Reflex
🧠 STNR Reflex
🧠 TLR Reflex

These reflexes can affect eye tracking, visual focus, and spatial awareness, making tasks like reading, writing, and sports more challenging.

Comment “VISION” and we’ll send you more information and activities that support visual development and reflex integration.

Myopia control is not about buying the best or most expensive brand of lenses for your children. It’s about the evidence based science that targets abnormal eye growth when the child is still developing. Let us help you to navigate thru the complexities of children myopia control.

Here’s some sharing on the contact lens strategy selection based on the patient’s characteristics published recently on Review of Optometry. Happy reading!!

Optimizing Contact Lenses in Myopia Management

When selecting CLs for patients with myopia, practitioners should be aware of the following:

▪ Avoid single vision lenses in myopia management.
▪ Follow the patient closely and to adjust refractive correction as it evolves.
▪ Never undercorrect.
▪ Never leave a patient with an outdated pair of glasses.
▪ Change lens power if refraction is modified by >0.25D.
▪ To comply with recommended wearing schedule (full time).
▪ Defocus may be generated through + or – lenses.
▪ Plus lenses are favored because they magnify the size of the signal.
▪ Center-distance lenses provide higher positive SA vs. center-near ones.
▪ MF lenses and filters can reduce contrast, but design matters!
▪ Atropine may help to increase the dose by enlarging the pupil diameter.
▪ Adequate (most likely higher) add or convex power is needed for fast progressors and high myopes.

The FOVDR and FOVDR-A are professional qualifications which provide extensive clinical training in the subspecialty of Vision Therapy. These titles enhances peer recognition in providing the highest standards in patient care. The FOVDR (FCOVD) is a clinical fellowship which focuses on advanced patient care within vision therapy, while the FOVDR-A (FCOVD-A) is an academic fellowship which combines clinical training in vision therapy with cutting-edge research to contribute to the scholarly literature and advance knowledge in the field. As a pioneer in vision therapy and the first board-certified vision therapy provider in Singapore, Dr Yap Tiong Peng is the first person outside the United States to receive double fellowships in OVDR (FOVDR & FOVDR-A). Qualified since 1998, Dr Yap is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO) and a Fellow of the Australian College of Behavioural Optometrists (FACBO). He holds a PhD from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and a DIC & MSc from Imperial College London (UK). He completed his basic optometry training in England (University of Manchester, UK) and a postgraduate certificate in Behavioural Optometry from Australia (UNSW).
