Vision plays an important role in children's academic learning, in particular, reading and writing. Uncorrected / untreated visual problems could affect children's attention, learning and behaviour.

 

A good pair of spectacles can help a person to see clearly. Yet they cannot improve the other important functions of the eyes, e.g. the ability of the two eyes to work together as a team, the ability to change focus and to move efficiently.

 

Such functions are vital for a child's effective participation in schoolwork task in the classroom, and especially online home-based learning. In this talk, the function of vision in children's academic learning will be discussed.
