Abstract/OtherAbstract:
School-aged children with learning problems are frequently encountered by optometrists. Current research indicates a link between learning problems and certain visual factors that are referred to as learning-related visual problems. As a result, the primary care vision doctor should identify children with learning-related visual problems within the context of a primary care examination. We will present a diagnostic strategy for identifying children with learning-related visual problems. The use of appropriate case history questions and a few additional tests will allow the primary care vision doctor to detect or diagnose the majority of learning-related visual problems within the context of a primary care examination.
