Some kids love learning. They’re curious. They ask great questions …

But they avoid reading at all costs.

If this sounds familiar, you should know it could be a functional vision problem—an issue with how the eyes and brain work together to process visual information.

Reading comfortably takes more than 20/20 eyesight.

It also relies on visual skills like eye teaming, tracking, and focusing. Unfortunately, a basic vision screening may not catch problems with these skills.

Find out what’s really making reading so difficult. Start with a Functional Vision Exam.

If your child is having a hard time in the new school year, don’t assume it’s about effort or attitude.

It could be a functional vision problem that’s been simmering below the surface—and is finally showing up.

Functional vision is how the eyes and brain work together to process visual information, and it plays a major role in learning.

In fact, 1 in 4 kids has a vision problem that affects academic performance.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam to find out what’s really going on.

Every year, some kids hit a new grade level—and everything changes.

They fall behind …

Get frustrated …

Lose confidence.

The possible culprit?

An undiagnosed vision problem that’s finally too much to compensate for.

The good news? You can take action.

Start with a Functional Vision Exam and uncover what’s really holding them back.

Reading demands more from the visual system than many people realize.

As kids move up in school, the paragraphs get longer, the print gets smaller …

And the visual load increases.

If your child suddenly starts skipping lines, losing their place, or avoiding reading altogether, it could be a sign of a functional vision problem.

A Functional Vision Exam can help uncover the root cause and help get them back on track.

Sometimes a child doesn’t start to struggle in school until the later grades.

That doesn’t necessarily mean something new is wrong.
It might mean a long-hidden vision problem is finally surfacing.

This is often the case with functional vision problems.

Functional vision is how the eyes and brain work together to process visual information. Key skills include:

*Eye teaming
*Eye tracking
*Eye focusing

When these skills break down, tasks like reading, writing, spelling, and note-taking can become exhausting.

A child may have unknowingly compensated for years—until the demands of school finally outpace their ability to adapt.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam to uncover what’s really behind the sudden change.

What seems like simple screen fatigue might actually be digital eye strain—a condition that’s especially concerning in kids because their visual systems are still developing.

Digital eye strain can lead to:
-Red, irritated eyes
-Headaches
-Blurred or double vision

Even worse, it can disrupt functional vision development, which is how the eyes and brain work together to make sense of visual input.

Don’t wait for long-term effects to set in.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam and get a clear picture of your child’s vision health.

10/28/2025

The visual system develops through real-world activity and movement …

But when a child stares at a screen for hours and hours a day, their eyes and brain adapt to a limited range of vision tasks.

That can lead to poor depth perception, difficulty switching focus, and various physical symptoms like:

👀Sore, red eyes
👀Blurred vision
👀Headaches

What can you do about it? Make sure you balance screen time with physical activities that involve movement—preferably outdoors.

And if you see warning signs, take action and schedule a Functional Vision Exam for help.

10/27/2025

Digital eye strain doesn’t always show up with obvious symptoms.

Your child may quietly struggle with:

-Difficulty adjusting focus
-Headaches
-Dry, tired eyes

Even without complaints, their visual system may be under an unnatural amount of stress.

Wondering what to do? Start by finding out if there’s a problem.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam.

10/23/2025

Does your child avoid schoolwork like the plague? It may not be laziness …

Staring at a screen for long periods can cause near-point stress on a child’s visual system.

That can result in:
👁️Blurred vision
👁️Eye fatigue
👁️Difficulty shifting focus to tasks like reading or writing

What looks like an inability to pay attention could be a hidden vision issue.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam to uncover the root of the problem.

10/22/2025

Children’s visual systems are still developing.

Too much close-up screen time can overwork their eyes, leading to strain, headaches, and even disruptions in how their visual system matures.

These issues can impact functional vision, which is how the eyes and brain work together to process visual information.

Protect your child’s visual development.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam to detect problems early and support their long-term health.

10/21/2025

Prolonged screen time can overwork your child’s visual system, especially during close-up tasks like reading.

The result?

✳️Eye fatigue
✳️Trouble concentrating
✳️Resistance to homework

Before assuming it’s a learning issue or a motivation problem, rule out a vision issue.

Schedule a Functional Vision Exam and uncover what’s really going on.

10/20/2025

Kids need real-world activities—like playing catch—to develop their functional vision.

This is a critical set of visual skills that involve eye teaming, focusing, and tracking.

But too much screen time can crowd out crucial experiences and interrupt functional vision development.

Meanwhile, your child may start experiencing:

➡️Red eyes
➡️Blurry vision
➡️Headaches

These could be signs of digital eye strain—or a deeper vision issue.

What can you do about it? Take action today and schedule a Functional Vision Exam.

Find out what’s really going on with their eyes.
