Vision Facts
Undetected and untreated visions conditions can act as barriers to learning and healthy childhood development. When a child is visually ready to learn, that child will succeed, not just in the classroom, but in life. Studies indicate that:
- Between 17 and 25% of school age children have undetected and treatable vision problems that can interfere with learning.
1 out of 8 children under age 12 are at risk for undetected vision problems.
- Vision disorders are the fourth most common disability in the United States.
- Vision deficiencies in school age children are often misidentified as behavioral and social problems, which sometimes puts a child into the wrong "treatment track" (often at taxpayer's expense).
- More than 75% of juvenile offenders have undetected and untreated vision problems.
23 million American adults are considered functionally illiterate.
- Functional illiteracy among minority youths may run as high as 40%.
