As much as 80% of a child’s learning is visual, with children spending most of the school day reading, looking at a board, and using laptops and tablets. Yet 1 in 4 school-aged children struggle with reading and learning because of undiagnosed vision problems. The good news is most vision problems that can impact reading and learning in adolescence are treatable.
