Functional Vision Problems Can Affect Everyday Life

Many people think vision problems always cause blurry eyesight. In reality, many functional vision problems affect the way your eyes work together, focus, and process visual information. These conditions can make reading, learning, driving, sports, computer work, and other everyday activities more difficult—even when you can see 20/20.

At Visual Health & Learning Center, our eye doctors evaluate children and adults with developmental, binocular, and neurological vision disorders. Every evaluation is designed to determine whether a functional vision problem is contributing to your symptoms before recommending treatment.

Reading and Learning Depend on Strong Visual Skills

Reading is one of the most demanding things your eyes do every day. When one or more visual skills isn't working efficiently, learning can become much harder than it should be.

We commonly evaluate:

  • Learning-Related Vision Problems
  • Eye Tracking Disorders
  • Focusing Disorders
  • Visual Processing Difficulties
  • Convergence Insufficiency
  • Strabismus (Eye Turn)
  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
  • Double Vision (Diplopia)
  • Poor Binocular Vision
  • Reduced Depth Perception

Vision Problems Can Develop After a Neurological Injury

A concussion, traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other neurological condition can change the way your visual system functions. Even after other symptoms improve, vision problems may continue to affect reading, balance, driving, and everyday activities.

We commonly evaluate: Vision Problems After Concussion, Brain Injury Vision Disorders, Stroke-Related Vision Changes, Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Needs, Visual Snow Syndrome, and Prism Lens Needs.
