Therefore, a child with dyslexia who has symptoms of a vision problem, will likely have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/guide-vision-and-learning-difficulties\/vision-and-learning-difficulties-faqs\/\">difficulty with academic performance.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Conversely, undetected vision problems can exacerbate learning problems, or mimic the presence of true dyslexia.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>Schedule a comprehensive eye exam<\/strong><\/a> with an eye doctor near you. They will be able to identify signs of a vision problem, even before formal schooling, and difficulties in reading, spelling, and writing begin.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q: How will my eye doctor differentiate between a vision problem and dyslexia?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Your eye doctor will look at the following factors to determine the presence of a vision problem:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Integrity of the visual pathway<\/b>&#8211; ocular health, visual acuity and refractive status<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Visual efficiency<\/b>&#8211; accommodation (focusing), binocular vision (eye teaming) and eye movements<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Visual information processing<\/b>&#8211; identification and discrimination, spatial awareness, and integration with other senses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Q: How is dyslexia diagnosed?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: A diagnosis of dyslexia requires a multidisciplinary approach due to its complexity and varying effects.<\/p>\n<p><i>A comprehensive eye exam is a critical component in the diagnosis and treatment of dyslexia\u2014 and should be the first step in the process.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your eye doctor will be able to identify signs of dyslexia\u2014 most commonly, binocular vision problems such as focusing difficulties and eye teaming and coordination problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When these visual skills are not strong enough, this may indicate dyslexia, or may <i>be mistaken<\/i> for dyslexia\u2014 when really these visual skills just need strengthening.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, an eye exam should be the first step when searching for answers, <i>before <\/i>diagnosing dyslexia, and beginning treatments, such as colored lenses.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q: Are the difficulties associated with dyslexia the same for each person?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: No.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that <b>there can be up to fifty affected sites in the brain that cause dyslexia.<\/b> Each site can affect the brain in different ways, causing multiple, and often confusing, manifestations of dyslexia.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q: Can my child outgrow dyslexia?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: While dyslexia does not go away on its own, if not given the proper tools or treatments, most people will develop coping strategies, or avoidance behaviors. Learning difficulties usually persist and can impact work performance or a chosen career path.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q: Can vision therapy help my child with dyslexia?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Vision therapy is a highly effective treatment for vision problems related to dyslexia. A personalized vision therapy program will improve the child\u2019s visual efficiency and processing, and therefore strengthen many academic skills.<\/p>\n<p>Vision therapy involves a series of eye exercises aimed at strengthening the visual skills, by retraining the connections between the eyes and brain.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, vision therapy also involves the use of special lenses or prisms. Your eye doctor may recommend that your child wear glasses full time, or as needed for near vision activities, such as reading.<\/p>\n<p>If your child is struggling in school and showing signs of dyslexia, he may have a vision problem. For a proper diagnosis, schedule an eye exam for a comprehensive evaluation of your child\u2019s visual skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/vision-for-school\/\">Vision for School<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>Schedule an eye exam<\/strong><\/a> and take the first step to improve your child\u2019s visual skills and reducing the effects of dyslexia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: What is dyslexia?
