Why Crawling Affects Your Child’s Vision
Did your child skip crawling? That developmental milestone matters more than you think. Crawling helps develop eye coordination and depth perception—key visual skills for reading, sports, and focus.

Without it, children may struggle with:
• Reading fluency
• Hand-eye coordination
• Balance & depth perception

These could be signs of Binocular Vision Dysfunction.

📞 Call 716-398-4300 to schedule a functional vision evaluation with our behavioral optometrist.
