Functional Vision Problems & Impact - Functional vision problems are distinct from eyesight, impacting how the brain processes visual information [2][3] - These issues can manifest as difficulties in reading, learning, and daily life activities, often misdiagnosed as ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, or autism spectrum disorders [6][7][9] - Vision directs behavior; impaired eye control hinders mind control and focus [8] Modern Visual Demands - The visual system, evolved for distance viewing, struggles with modern near-screen demands [11][12] - Reading and learning are significantly impacted, with an estimated 80% of classroom learning relying on visual processing and one in four children experiencing vision problems affecting learning [12] - Screen time contributes to digital eye strain, affecting at least 60% of Americans [15] Vision Performance Training - Vision performance training can treat functional vision problems by rewiring the brain's software [10][19] - It helps develop neurological pathways for accurate eye movements and efficient visual information processing [25] Traumatic Brain Injury - 28% of Americans have experienced at least one concussion, potentially impacting vision [20] - Head injuries can lead to vision problems, even without affecting eyesight, due to the brain's heavy reliance on visual processing (two-thirds of neurons originate from the eyes) [21]
