How to Get Tested for Visual Problems

Who Should Be Tested?

Children and Adults who display the following symptoms should be screened by a qualified vision therapist:

Avoidance of close work

Blurred or double vision

Closing or covering one eye

Difficulty in remembering what is read

Eye-hand coordination problems in sports or at job-related tasks, or general clumsiness

Frowning or squinting while reading, writing, or working at the chalkboard

Getting headaches, nausea, or dizziness unrelated to known illnesses

Holding head close to the book when reading, or close to the table when writing

Inability to finish timed assignments at any grade level

What is the First Step?

If you suspect a vision problem, the first step is to schedule a comprehensive visual examination to evaluate the basic visual skills necessary for good visual performance. Further testing may be done to evaluate specific areas necessary for efficient academic performance. Upon completion of a thorough evaluation, we will determine what your visual needs are. If necessary, an individualized program of lenses, visual hygiene and/or vision therapy will be developed to meet your specific needs and goals.
