They can perform a full evaluation and determine if a visual diagnosis is contributing to your child's reading difficulty. Only then can you decide on what treatment plan may be needed. You can find a specialist at www.covd.org and www.optometrists.org. Good luck. -Dr. B Lydia,

My research is about eye tracking and how it effects reading. We have a Visagraph in our school system but I think it is not being used enough. I feel very strong about how eye movement effects reading abilities and would like to hear from an opthamologist about the connection in eye muscles and left to right sequencing while reading.

He had some irregularities in eye movement. He often skips words when reading or skips lines. What should we do from this point? What exercises are available and how do we find someone to help? Thank you My son is 9 and has been tested with the Visagraph….. He had some irregularities in eye movement. He often skips words when reading or skips lines. What should we do from this point?

Seeing just how inaccurate our eyes are moving and how hard we have to work to read, really forms a clear picture of what the problem is and what needs to be fixed. Your patients are very lucky that you have invested into this technology. This is one piece of equipment that really allows me to understand how important appropriate eye movements are to reading.
