Do you get headaches, watery eyes or stomach aches when you read? Do you find it hard to concentrate on reading after 10 minutes? Do you have to use your finger to read so you don’t drop lines or skip words? These reading problems can be caused by poor visual tracking or severe sensitivity to light. Unfortunately, these causes are often overlooked by teachers and educational diagnosticians with poor readers almost always assumed to have dyslexia.

After a discussion on basic visual problems, you will have the opportunity to be screened by Dr. Lovrien for visual acuity and sensitivity to light. This could be a session that changes your life!
