The Myth of 20/20 Vision
“20/20” just means that you can see a certain size letter on the standard eye chart (equivalent to what a person with normal vision should be able to see at 20 feet).
This is simply a measure of your eyesight. Unfortunately, the standard eye examination and school screening measure eyesight and not vision.
However, VISION goes far beyond 20/20 eyesight. Vision involves the dynamic relationship between the eyes and brain that allows us to perceive, understand and interact with our world. Vision is a complex, learned and developed set of functions that involve a multitude of skills, including:
- Eye tracking
- Eye teaming
- Focusing (Accommodation)
- Depth Perception
- Peripheral Vision
- Near Vision
- Visual Attention
- Visual Perception
- Visual Memory
- Visualization
- Visual Motor Integration
- Spatial Awareness and Organization
At Inspire Vision & Learning Center, these skills are carefully assessed. With a developmental and holistic approach we ensure that you receive the care you need to succeed.
Did you know…??
1 out of 4 children have a learning-related vision problem
70-80% of children diagnosed with learning difficulties, dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, reading/writing/math problems, developmental delays or autism spectrum disorders have learning-related vision problems.
80-85% of our perception, learning, cognition and activities are mediated through vision.
75-90% of standard classroom learning takes place through the visual system.
Fortunately, many learning-related vision problems can be corrected through vision therapy and/or the judicious prescription of specialty lenses. We aim to exceed your expectations with excellence and caring.
