 A Child’s Success in the Classroom is highly correlated to Visual performance
There is a significant difference between sight, vision and vision perception. Sight is the ability to see. Vision is the ability to fixate, fuse and focus on what we see. Vision perception is the ability to interpret what we see. Sight or refractive system issues can be corrected by wearing spectacles and or contact lenses to see better at a distance or near. Problems include squinting to see, avoidance of near activities i.e. reading, closes or covers an eye, and complains of discomfort or eyestrain.
Vision issues include eye movement skills i.e. the skill of speed and control of vision, inspection and scanning. Problems include losing ones place while reading, omitting words, and needing to use a finger to guide reading.
Eye teaming skills i.e. the skill of using both eyes together. Problems include seeing double, omitting words, posture changes, covering one eye to “see” better.
Eye hand coordination i.e. the skill of integrating the eyes and hands as paired learning tools. Problems include poor handwriting, confusing left and right, and poor coordination exhibited in play or sports.
Visual perception: a number of skills are involved here i.e visual memory, form perception, spatial perception; i.e the skill that the things we see be interpreted by the brain to learn. Problems include confusing likeness and differences, reversing letters or numbers, or inability to visualize what is real.
In total, all these areas of vision can affect a child’s performance to learn and excel in the classroom setting and only an optometrist can evaluate and test all these areas.
Lastly, parents should be aware that school eye screenings are only that, a screening, i.e. the screening will not cover many of the problems listed above. Visual analysis and eye health evaluations are recommended YEARLY since the growth of the child and visual demands increase yearly in school.

Incredible Eye Facts
Often taken for granted, your eyes are a wonderful and vital part of your life. Eyes are your most precious sense. Below are some incredible Eye Facts. |
Incredible Eye Facts
- Eyes are the most complex organs you possess except for your brain.
- Are composed of more than two million working parts.
- Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the US. Yet, glaucoma can be controlled with little or no further vision loss, if detected at an early stage and treated promptly.
- Glaucoma occurs more frequently in certain groups of people such as those who are over 40, diabetics, and people who are very nearsighted.
- The number one cause of blindness in adults in the United States is diabetes.
- Under the right conditions, can discern the light of a candle at a distance of 14 miles.
- The Human eye can detect 10 million color hues, but cannot see ultraviolet or infrared light.
- 85% of what we know comes through our eyes. 80% of our memory is in the form of images.
- On average we blink our eyes between 10,000 - 20,000 times a day.
- The "blink of an eye" lasts only a tenth of a second, but that's all the time needed to clear away dust particles and spread lubricating fluids across the eyeball. Our brains have been trained to ignore blinks.
- Our eye muscles that move the eye are the strongest in the body
- Human eyes are always the same size from birth, but your nose and ears never stop growing.
- The older we are the less tears we produce.
- Foods shown to help vision are those that are rich in vitamin A which are needed for night vision such as carrots and other orange foods that contain carotene which the body converts to vitamin A.
- A professional eye exam can detect early signs of health and sight-threatening diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Together with other tests, eye professionals can also detect neurological disease and glaucoma, a potentially blinding disease if left untreated. Early detection and prevention are crucial to the successful treatment of these diseases.
- Pediatric and Infant Exams are very important. Physician will perform a quick screening for your child for gross abnormalities at the hospital when your child is born. Vision for an infant is almost adult like before they are one year old. We recommend that your child have their first eye exam at age six to eight months. A comprehensive eye exam can pick up subtle problems that, if left untreated, can cause severe, often irreversible vision loss.

New Synthetic Cornea Replacement offers hope... |
Donor corneas are extremely rare, but for 40,000 people in Europe corneal transplantation from donors offer the only hope of addressing blindness in one or both eyes. Dr. Joachim Storsberg of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam-Golm is the creator of the first artificial cornea, which has been successfully trialed and has been in use in Europe since 2009.

How Eyes of Owls and Humans are similar |
Owls and people both have binocular vision. Binocular vision is when the two eyes are in front of the head and see the same thing with both eyes. Binocular vision also helps by seeing how fast an object is going, how far away it is and the size.
Humans have a field of vision of 180 degrees and 120 degrees with each eye. Owls only have a 125 degree field of vision, 50 degrees with each eye.
Owls can't move their eyes around in their sockets so they must move their head. Owls have fourteen neck bones. Their neck bones let an owl turn its head 270 degrees in both directions. This is not quite a full turn. Unlike us, an owl can turn its head around to see what is sneaking up behind it.
