The Ann Arbor Clinic for Vision Enhancement specializes in
helping children. Although vision screenings are important, they
are not complete eye examinations. Our pediatric eye examination
is more than just a measure of sight. We evaluate a child's
vision, that is, test for eye teaming, focusing, depth
perception, visual tracking and other visual perceptual
disorders. Vision includes the gathering of information by the
eyes, the processing of the visual information by the brain, and
the integration of that information with the body. Any breakdown
in this complex system can contribute to decreased academic
performance.
Many
bright, gifted children with 20/20 distance eyesight suffer from
vision problems that can create barriers to learning. The
efficient processing and understanding of visual information
requires certain visual skills such as good coordination and
hand-eye coordination. These skills are necessary for optimal
learning.
Vision
therapy improves the way a child gathers and processes visual
information. We can teach children to more efficiently use both
eyes as a team. We can train the eyes to focus and relax, as
well as increase the accuracy of eye movements used in reading.
In addition, we treat visual perceptual deficiencies such as
visual-motor integration, visual analysis and visual memory.
