Now school is out, but not all your students met their potential. It was not your lack of dedication, school funding, or parental concern. Maybe the kids in 25% of your class who fail year after year, have an undetected vision condition that hampers their learning. The school eye screening checks less than 10% of the vision system, and nothing related to learning. Yet, every exam in our office tests visually related learning problems. We may be able to help. How would you identify the child with a visually related learning condition? An oft-ignored section of the state-mandated eye screening advises teacher observation. Go to drhenshaw.net and see how you may detect symptoms of a visually related learning problem

My Sight contact lenses: Yes attempts at slowing myopia is a good thing, but wouldn't it be better to prevent it in the first place? By the time your child is eligible for this new questionable approach to myopia, it is too late. Your child is already embedded in myopia. Implying myopia is related to learning problems simply has no scientific basis. The vast majority of children with myopia are good learners.Why not prevent myopia in the first place while enhancing learning as well.
