Atticus’ Struggle
Atticus struggled from K to 6th grade: vomiting, reading/writing dyslexia, concentration. Diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed meds, his symptoms worsen. In 5th grade he begged for glasses (he has 20/20 sight), complaining of blurry vision, dizziness, vertigo, and hours of blindness. Medical tests came back negative. A behavioral vision examination showed Atticus suffered from double vision (he thought it was normal). He began vision therapy and is having amazing results in his behavior, school, symptoms, and off all medication.

As BVD patient for a debilitating concussion, English teacher, and mother of four children who struggle with BVD, I have experienced the struggles of BVD and the amazing results when BVD is properly diagnosed and treated.

1/5 Children Struggle with BVD
Binocular Vision Disorder BVD is a physiological condition where the brain and eyes fail to work in coordination, to fuse and create a binocular image, resulting in problems with: eye coordination, eye focusing, eye tracking, faulty visual form perception, faulty visual memory, faulty visual motor integration, difficulty with left/right awareness. All of these vision problems have a direct impact on a child’s ability to succeed in school and thrive in life.
