Having 6/6 or 20/20 eyesight, does not mean that you have perfect vision. Children and adults who experience high visual demands may experience visual stress and have undetected visual problems, which interfere with their ability to perform. Symptoms such as poor visual memory resulting in loss of place, visual fatigue, blur at distance or near, headaches, reduced comprehension and difficulties in concentrating indicate a developmental and/or visual stress problem. Optometric Vision Therapy can reduce or eliminate these problems so that there is maximum return for the effort expended.
