Did you know 2–3 kids in every classroom may struggle to properly converge their eyes? Convergence insufficiency makes it hard to keep both eyes working together up close. This is a key skill kids rely on for reading, writing, and focusing at school. It can show up as headaches, losing place while reading, avoiding homework, or a child who seems bright and works hard but with poor results. Kids with convergence insufficiency (a near vision problem) can even often pass a vision screening (distance visual acuity).
Vision therapy can train the brain and eyes to work together making kids more confident, comfortable, and able to thrive in the classroom.
If your child feels capable but something seems missing, a functional vision evaluation could be the next step that unlocks their potential. Call our office at 616.848.7548 or check out our website to learn more!
