Vision plays essential role in learning, communication, playing, movement and posture.

As OTs, we are famous for our "standardized" evaluations. We pull out the VMI or the TVPS, and we determine that a child has a "visual perceptual deficit."

But here is the truth: If the eyes aren’t tracking, teaming, or focusing correctly, the brain is receiving a blurry, distorted, or "double" image.

You aren't testing their brain's ability to perceive shapes; you are testing their eyes' inability to land on the target. 🎯

The Reality Check:

Saccades & Tracking: Is the "camera" moving smoothly to follow the action?

Convergence: Is the "lens" able to zoom in on near-point tasks without strain?

Accommodation: Can the "auto-focus" shift from the board to the paper quickly?

If you are only treating the "output" (handwriting) or the "software" (perception) without checking the "hardware" (the eyes), you’re missing half the story.

Stop guessing and start seeing the big picture.

Want to learn how to check the "focus" on your students' visual systems?

We're opening the doors to the next Eyes First Vision Cohort on February 11th. We’re going to show you how to identify the functional vision issues that standard screenings miss.

Sick eyes do not reside in a healthy body -- Dr. Clement Trempe MD (Retina Specialist)

Early signs of Alzheimer’s often include frequent falls, difficulty reading, poor comprehension, and memory challenges. In many cases, these may be related to visual processing disorders, eye-movement dysfunction, or binocular vision problems. Eye and vision issues can appear long before an actual Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and several eye diseases follow processes similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s. That’s why early prevention is essential.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cataracts, glaucoma, macular disease, or cognitive decline, and have been told that nothing can be done or your are treated and the eye treatment does not seem to work, there is still hope.

Our office is committed to partnering with your care team to provide evaluation, consultation, education, and advocacy for patients and caregivers. Please contact our office for support.
