Eye problems are a huge factor contributi­ng to today’s reading problems as they often go undetected. Some of the students I am currently seeing have been diagnosed with: Colour blindness Tracking difficulti­es Squints Far sightednes­s (Mytopia) Near sightednes­s (Myopia) Astigmatis­m Allergies Lazy eyes When I assess my pupils, I conduct basic tracking and visual perceptual assessment­s and should there be major pitfalls I refer them on before starting therapy.
