Schoolvision opticians are trained to help your child beat dyslexia

Schoolvision studies the way children's eyes work as they read; in particular the relationship between their vision
and dyslexia.

A concentration of reading and writing is a modern phenomenon and our eyes haven't yet evolved to deal with so much close work. Because of this they sometimes need help.

When we read, just one eye should take over the job of aiming at the words. But if both eyes try to do the same job, the words and letters appear to shift out of order sending confused messages to the brain which can cause difficulties in reading and spelling.

Using established sight tests and corrective spectacles, Schoolvision works with children to reinforce the dominant eye and improve their ability to read and interpret words.
