Expert eye doctor Dr. Carl Hillier, FCOVD explains that children's vision screenings or eye exams and tests need to test for much more than just 20/20 vision (distance eyesight at 20 feet). For example, a child diagnosed or misdiagnosed as ADHD, dyslexia (dyslexic), learning disabilities (learning disabled) or migraines (headaches) can have serious undetected vision problems that need to be tested w/ more comprehensive eye exam and can be fixed with therapy (NOT with surgery). Children need more than just a quick 20-20 eye test or vision screening! They need a comprehensive eye exam and visual evaluation with a developmental optometrist. Over 50% of children in Special Education and over 20% of ALL children have eyes/vision problems that are not related to 20-20 eyesight.
