20/20 Is Not Perfect Vision

ch2a-ColorFocus on Vision, Not Eyesight.

  • 20/20 is NOT perfect vision. Many children have 20/20 eyesight yet still have vision problems.
  • Vision disorders are the Number 1 handicap for children in America today.
  • Vision is the dominant sense for learning and school success.
  • One in four school-age children have vision difficulties according to Prevent Blindness America.
  • More than 15 visual skills are required for learning and reading.
  • 60% of children with learning difficulties have an undiagnosed vision problem, according to the American Optometric Association.

Most children are born with healthy eyes, but they have to learn how to use their eyes and coordinate them with their brain and body. Many children need vision therapy to learn how to integrate their vision skills. During her 30 years of clinical practice, Dr. Hellerstein found that visualization strategies can help children build confidence and develop a love for learning. She details them in the groundbreaking book, See It. Say It. Do It!
