Hitting the Books

Your child's ability to read, concentrate and learn depends on efficient vision—not just good eyesight.

In order to send reading material to the brain for thorough comprehension, both eyes need to:

• Aim accurately and simultaneously at the same spot on the page
• Focus on the words
• Maintain that focus while moving across the page
• Work as a team while tracking the line of print

Not Making the Grade
The classroom, so visually demanding because of all the required reading, can create incredible visual stress for a young child. It can cause a child’s visual system to literally cramp up, like any muscle contracted for a long period. Over time, this cramp becomes chronic, causing a loss of visual efficiency both at a distance and up close.

When critical visual skills—aiming, focusing, tracking, and teaming—aren’t making the grade, learning becomes more difficult. These symptoms, and more, often appear:

• Limited visual attention
• Loss of concentration
• Poor comprehension
• Difficulty focusing
• Skipping words and/or lines
• Slipping grades

On the Honor Roll
If a child in your family is struggling in school, EYEPORT^® can help improve their visual skills, enhancing their overall learning experience!

Although Dr. Liberman recommends vision exercises for most children, he always suggests that you first consult with your vision specialist.

Please Note: The EYEPORT^® has not been evaluated for dyslexia or other specific reading disorders. Furthermore, non-medical claims refer to the improvement of visual capabilities in normal, non-pathological eyes. These results may not be what the typical user would experience.

"…As a vision Educator, I have used the EYEPORT extensively with children and young athletes. The first child I worked with was a 10-year-old boy who had difficulty reading. He couldn't read for more than 10 minutes without becoming fatigued or falling asleep. He has been using the EYEPORT system for 6 months and recently brought me his "straight A" report card. "

Teresa Bowen, Vision Educator

"...as many as one in four, or 25%, of school-age children may have a vision problem that can affect learning."

"When I had difficulties in school, I didn't think it was because of a vision problem, I thought it was just, you know, some people are smarter than others. I can do my homework faster and everything just seems to be faster and better."
