If your eyes see 20/20, can they still interfere with the ability to learn to read or read to learn? Most definitely they can, and 20/20 is only one very small measurement of the entire visual system. We have five times the sensory input to the brain from the visual system of any other sense that we have.
In the vast majority of the states, the school "vision screening" involves looking at an eye chart twenty feet away. How much of the time is spent in a classroom looking twenty feet away when studying? We are now doing so much more sustained near-point close work, yet the school screening does little to pick up people who are having difficulties seeing near print.

Report
Dr. Wylie has been our doctor for years, so we knew he was a good eye doctor. We brought our 14 year-old in because she had been having trouble reading fine print. He discovered papilledema, which is inflammation of the optic nerve. The worst case scenario is that papilledema would be caused by a brain tumor.

Myopia Management
Report
Childhood myopia, also known as near or short-sighted, can cause very serious eye diseases later in life. Offer your child a brighter future with myopia management. Myopia (nearsightedness) is reaching epidemic proportions. By 2050, half of the world's population is expected to have myopia.
That's worrying, as having myopia significantly raises the risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and macular degeneration.The level of myopia a child has is directly correlated to their risk of eye disease - the higher the myopia, the greater the risk.
