[quote=Anonymous]My dc has a rare, though minor, medical condition.  We - as well as teachers-  suspected a vision issue for years but eye exams always were ok.  We started seeing it impact things outside of school - couldn't read numbers on jersey close by when running.  Constant Eye pain, eye rubbing at night.    We saw improvement with very large font on kindle.

We researched VT and very turned off by some VT practices - 2x a week, 8 to 10 months. And when you talked to them, felt like a scam.  Our pediatrician was also very skeptical and only agreed when  top pediatric opthamologist practice saw medical issue related to primary medical condition - and one of the VT areas where there is more evidence.    Pediatrician agreed made sense.   Within 3 sessions direct with opthamologist, we saw major improvement.  By 8 sessions done.   Went from below grade reading level to 2+ grades above in months, hating to read to voracious reader.  still re-learning spelling/writing that occurred during bad eye years.    Interestingly, dc was becoming spacey - no longer an issue.

Go to a very reputable pediatric opthamologist, ask to do a screening.   At minimum, they will measure convergence and do a screening questionaire.  Some have more tests.  Its best to do this after a school day when your DC has been using eyes more.
