Visual Processing Disorders
Children must have visual skills in addition to their sharpness of sight, or visual acuity. Each eye sees independently and transmits images to the optic nerves in the brain and combines them into a single picture.
Each eye must aim at the exact point in space so that the images being recorded are identical. This allows the brain to combine or 'fuse' together the two incoming images for clear, comfortable, single vision. However, if the eyes aren't aiming together, the images being recorded are slightly different.
Symptoms
Children with eye teaming or tracking problems can be highly distracted, finding it difficult to concentrate and remain on task because the strain on their eyes is so great.
Other symptoms of eye teaming problems include loss of place as the print 'swims' or moves, eyestrain, fatigue, headaches, and frustration.
Children with eye teaming problems often have poor visual skills in other areas such as eye tracking and focusing (shifting from near to far sight), as well as visual perception and gross or fine eye-body coordination. Fortunately vision is a learned skill, just as language or walking are learned; and therefore trainable through the proper vision therapies.
