The Consequences of Undetected and Untreated Vision Problems

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
