Vision Impacts Ability to Learn
Just two or three months ago, children couldn't wait to get out of school. The freedom of summer was just around the bend, as they eagerly looked forward to the break. However, once they've had their fill of summer, these same children begin to anticipate school: They are entering a new grade, or perhaps a new school. For some children, buying school supplies and perhaps even new school outfits can be exciting and escalate their desire to return and learn new studies.
Fall Sports Are Finally Here
School has started back up, which means a lot of children and families are already thinking about fall sports. Especially in varsity sports, many of the teams have already had their tryouts, and have probably been conditioning all summer in preparation for the intense competitions ahead. This is exciting for many students, but there are also many who will avoid sports entirely. Why is this? Obvious differences in personality aside, many students feel as though they are too clumsy to "make the cut." There are many potential causes for this, and vision disorders are among them. Two vision disorders which affect visual tracking, an important skill in many sports, are amblyopia and strabismus.
