This treatment may improve visual perception, increase sustained reading time, and eliminate symptoms associated with reading such as light sensitivity, eyestrain, headaches, blurring of print, loss of place, and watery eyes. Please call the office to schedule a free screening session to determine if this system will work for your child’s particular situation.
