[quote=Anonymous]My ds had the glasses for awhile while he did vision therapy. We could never tell if it made a difference with his reading. A couple of months after we stopped vision therapy (stopped on our own -- were not discharged), I took him to an opthamologist who said that he didn't need the glasses (he hadn't been wearing them a lot anyway). He has been fine for the last few years without them. He did vision therapy for a convergence issue -- opthamologist said it was slight and we did not need therapy any more.  Since he did not see the opthamologist before he started therapy, it is impossible to know if the therapy helped make the convergence issue smaller or if it was that small all along.  Lot of threads on vision therapy on this forum. Lots of heated opinions.  I don't think the glasses help or hurt. FWIW, dh and I both have terrible vision. Plus, ds was a preemie so he has an increased risk of near-sightedness. He just had his annual appointment with opthamologist and eyes are still 20/20 -- and he is 3 years past the age when I got glasses. Good luck.[/quote]
