One in four school-aged children suffer from undiagnosed vision problems that affect their academic performance. The following information is intended to provide you with a better understanding of how the visual system processes information and the effects it may be having on academic performance. There is a difference between sight and vision and understanding this difference is important. Sight is the ability to see clearly at any distance. Vision is the ability to take this clear image and bring it into the eye in a smooth and accurate manner, then transmit the image through the optic nerve to the back of the brain where it is interpreted and made sense of by combining it with past learning experiences.
