Description

The technology of today provides us with a lot of information that needs to be read and processed by both adults and children. When you stop to think about it, society places a premium on an efficient vision system. Schools and most occupations require increasing amounts of printed and computer information to be handled accurately and in shorter periods of time. Vision is also a major factor in sports, crafts, and other pastimes. The efficiency of our visual system directly affects how we collect and process information on a continual bases. Repetitive demands on the visual system tend to create problems in people with visual system deficiencies. Inefficient vision may cause an individual to slow down, be less accurate, experience excessive fatigue, or make errors. When these types of signs and symptoms appear, the individual's conscious attention to the process is required. This, in turn, may interfere with speed, accuracy, and comprehension of the visual task at hand. Many of these visual dysfunctions are effectively treated with vision therapy. Vision is a product of our inherited potentials, our past experiences, and current information. Efficient visual functioning enables us to understand the world around us better and to guide our actions accurately and quickly. Vision is the dominant sense and is composed of three areas of function: Today's world can be very competitive. A strong visual system will provide confidence and enable your child to excel. Learning to read requires efficient and finely tuned visual abilities. The eyes must team precisely, focus clearly, and track quickly and accurately across the page. These processes must be coordinated with the perceptual and memory aspects of vision, which in turn must combine with linguistic processing for comprehension. To provide reliable information, this must occur with precise timing. Inefficient or poorly developed vision requires individuals to divide their attention between the task they are performing and the involved visual abilities. In doing so, some individuals have symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, eyestrain, and difficulty sustaining attention. Others may have an absence of symptoms simply due to the avoidance of visually demanding tasks due to the fear of failure.
