Children with undetected vision problems are sometimes inaccurately diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). When vision is difficult, it requires greater effort than normal, leading the child to avoid close work. It may appear the child is daydreaming

Many children with undetected vision problems struggle in the classroom. These symptoms include:

• Trouble finishing written assignments
• Losing their place when reading
• A short attention span when doing close work
• Skipping words when reading
• Having greater potential than grades may indicate

If your child appears to be experiencing any of these symptoms, call our office at (323) 656-9550 for a complete eye examination with one of our trusted Los Angeles eye doctors today!

Good vision is an important part of education. Many experts believe 80 percent of learning is done through a child’s eyes. Reading, computer usage, and chalkboard work are all visual tasks students perform every day. A child’s eyes are always in use in the classroom. Therefore, when they’re not working properly, learning and class participation will suffer.
