A large part of learning is done visually. Reading, spelling, writing, whiteboard work, and computer work are all among the tasks students tackle all day long, day after day. Each one of these tasks requires the brain to accurately locate targets, put them into focus quickly, and then process an understanding of the visual information seen.
A complete Developmental Vision Evaluation identifies problems with focusing ability, eye movement control, eye teaming and depth perception, visual perception, visual information processing, retained primitive reflexes, and the ability to sustain visual performance adequately to meet the visual demands of the classroom.
