The Crucial Role of Good Vision in Your Child’s Learning

While basic vision screenings in schools evaluate 20/20 eyesight, it’s important to understand that perfect eyesight doesn’t guarantee perfect vision. Children can struggle with reading, learning, and attention due to underlying visual skill deficiencies, regardless of whether they wear glasses.

Essential Visual Skills for Your Child’s Reading and Learning

Beyond 20/20 vision, there are key visual skills necessary for reading and learning success:

Superior binocular vision:

Ensuring both eyes work together effectively for clear sight.

Steady visual fixation:

The ability to maintain focus on an object, such as reading or viewing a chalkboard.

Swift saccades:

Quick eye movements that facilitate smooth tracking of text across a line.

Accommodation flexibility:

The eyes' capacity to adjust focus for objects at varying distances.

Identifying Your Child's Visual Dysfunction


Detecting visual problems in children can be challenging, as they may struggle to express their experiences. Look out for potential signs of visual dysfunction:

  • Reading below their grade level
  • Reluctance to read aloud
  • Restlessness during reading or learning activities
  • Difficulty summarizing or recalling what they’ve read
  • Frustration or resistance toward school or homework
  • Short attention span
  • Frequent breaks during reading-related tasks
  • Eye covering, head tilting, or excessive blinking when viewing distant objects.
