Summary

• Archive: Vision is our dominant sense for learning, but not all eye doctors provide in-depth testing for developmental and functional vision problems and the relevant treatment, such as vision therapy.

• Developmental Optometrists emphasize an expanded functional, developmental and behavior approach to vision evaluations.

• Their approach to vision care is directed at correcting existing vision problems and enhancing visual abilities.

• 20/20 is NOT perfect vision.

• In fact, the 20/20 test does not evaluate many other important measures of normal vision, including: eye focusing, eye teaming and coordination, eye movement, and visual perceptual skills.
