When a child struggles with attention, focus, and behavior in the classroom, it’s natural for parents and teachers to consider ADHD as a possible cause. However, what many people don’t realize is that certain vision problems can mimic ADHD symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis or overlooked underlying issues.

In today's digital age, children and adults alike are spending more time on screens than ever before. Whether for school, work, or entertainment, extended time on digital devices is becoming a norm.

Vision therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment designed to improve the way the brain communicates with the eyes. While most people associate vision with simply having clear eyesight, our visual system is much more complex. It involves the brain, eyes, and muscles working together to interpret and process what we see. For some individuals, issues with this visual system can lead to difficulties that aren’t always solved by glasses or contact lenses. This is where vision therapy comes in.

Your child's vision is a critical component of their overall health and development. While many parents focus on their child's physical and dental health, vision often gets overlooked. However, ensuring your child receives regular eye exams is just as important.
