Did you know that 80 percent of learning is vision related? Did you know that millions of kids will enter school this year with a vision problem that will inhibit their ability to learn and may impact the rest of their lives? According to one study, approximately 60 percent of students identified as problem learners have undetected vision problems. One of the most important things a parent can do to help their children succeed in school is to take them for a comprehensive eye exam. According to the American Optometric Association, vision screenings are not diagnostic, and therefore, typically identify only a small portion of the vision problems in children.
Comprehensive eye exams are necessary to detect problems that a simple screening can miss, such as eye coordination, lazy eye, and near and farsightedness. Our doctors are here to help you make sure your child is ready for school.
Hello,
We are wondering about getting a comprehensive eye exam for our 13 yr old daughter. She got glasses this summer for reading and Astigmatism. (we had taken her to Kearney Eye Inst) However she also has learning disability in reading.
This year we have a new Superintendent, Brian Redinger at Shelton and he attended our IEP meeting and mentioned the possibility of Vision Therapy and he knows Dr. Stine does this.
We have VSP insurance as well as personal health insurance. Wondering if you have any information on the Vision Therapy options you offer and how it works with insurance providers.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kristy & Dan Kennedy
