A typical optometric exam covers whether the patient is capable of sharp vision in both eyes and whether the eyes are healthy. However, it is possible to pass these tests and still have a binocular vision problem that impacts academic performance! For this reason, we invite you to connect with us so that we may help assist you in helping your students reach their full potential!
