[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also looking into the vision thing.  So far three names keep popping up:

Dr. Kavita Malhotra:  http://www.optometrists.org/drmalhotra/vision_therapy.html

Dr. G. Vike Vicente:  https://www.edow.com/about/g-vike-vicente-md/

and

Drs. Stan and Bryce Applebaum:  http://www.appelbaumvision.com/

[/quote]

We went to Dr. Vicente. He and his office staff were beyond accommodating with my anxious child and I really appreciated that he didn't find any problems -- it didn't feel like he was a hammer looking for nails.[/quote]

PS  And just to clarifiy:  your child had dyslexia, but no vision problems?  [/quote]

Yes. She had dyslexia and had always passed the vision screen at the pediatrician. But we noticed she was doing some funny stuff, holding her book close to her face and zooming the font way up when she read on a kindle. Plus her coordination is terrible -- she learned how to throw and catch balls way later than typical -- which can also be a sign of convergence problems. We wanted to make sure we were checking everything out. Vicente found no problems at all.[/quote]
