Glossary of Common Vision Conditions
Amblyopia, Strabismus:
This occurs when one eye turns in or out, up or down, or there is a lazy eye. In this condition you may see double or print may run together.
General Binocular Problems:
When the two eyes fail to work together, eye strain and fatigue can occur. If left untreated, reduced comprehension or avoidance of reading are commonly found.
Visual Perceptual Dysfunction:
This occurs when eye-hand coordination, visual memory, reversals, and other visual perceptual areas are deficient or undeveloped. This results in decreased efficiency in the development of learning.
Inappropriate Visual Development:
When visual skills of infants are not developing appropriately, strabismus and other visual conditions may occur. If treated immediately, the prognosis is excellent.
Closed Head Trauma Syndrome:
As a result of a head injury, visual skills may be lost or deficient. Often double vision, disorientation and other visual problems result, which should be treated as soon as possible.
