Visual Skills
Traditional vision screenings are designed to detect only minor deficiencies. Though those findings have value, the demands of the classroom involve far more skills than routine screenings can identify. An eye exam from an optometrist or ophthalmologist will evaluate the following visual skills that are so important in the classroom:
- Visual Acuity: The ability to focus at a distance and then to close-up without difficulty
- Sustained Focus: The ability to maintain steady focus for a long time at close distance
- Eye Teaming Skills: The ability of both eyes to aim at the same target, at the same level
- Eye Movement Skills: The ability to "track" objects or views without discomfort or difficulty
- Eye Hand Coordination: The ability to reach for, touch and work with objects without difficulty
- Visual Perception: Interpreting correctly what is visually "received" as well as being able to react to what is seen; this also includes the ability to judge distances
