Interesting Facts about Vision
A person can have 20/20 eyesight, and yet have a visual problem which

tasks, our self-esteem, and our interactions with others. 20/20 is only one
small piece of the picture.
Nearsightedness and other visual conditions are often thought of as being
hereditary in nature. However, the environment and how we use our eyes has
at least equal, if not more influence on the development of vision.
Visual problems can have a major influence on conditions classified as
Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, and Attention Deficit Disorder.

sickness and clumsiness.
