Reading Improvements

Do you know how fast your child can read? How many words per minute? Is he/she comprehending all or only part of the material? Do you know how many times he/ she has to  re-read? Is he/ she faster or slower than student’s in their grade?

Silent reading is a skill that is key to academic success. Without excellent silent reading skills, it is very difficult to become an excellent student. Reading camps and tutoring may not be the way to achieve excellent silent reading skills. A child can read fast but may not retain what he/she has read due to lack of good visual memory. They may have very poor visual tracking skills allowing them to  follow lines in their reading material. Their eye movement may be too erratic to maintain smooth reading. reading_glassess

Eyes can still cause reading problems even with perfect sights

Having good vision is more than just being able to focus clearly.  If your vision is clear, it doesn’t mean you are clear of having vision abnormalties.  In fact, you may have vision problems that may lead to reading problems.  Most people with reading problems don’t even realize there is a problem, and often it goes untreated.   At the Eyeplace we have the state of the art technology allowing us to test our patient’s eyes and determine if there are vision abnormalties going on.

The patient is tested in a comfortable and quiet environment.  During this time,  an infrared eye tracking sensor is used to pick up distinct eye movements while the patient is reading. Once the  source of the problem has been discovered, we can offer high- tech vision therapy programs to address the reading problems. Our vision therapy, has the ability to greatly improve reading efficiency.
