When a child struggles in school, it’s easy to assume the issue is attention, motivation, or learning ability. But what many parents and educators don’t realize is that vision plays a critical role in how children learn and problems with visual skills often go unnoticed during routine eye exams. If your child is bright, capable, and trying their best but still falling behind or becoming frustrated in the classroom, their vision may be part of the picture.

At Neuro-Vision & Rehabilitation Center, we focus on therapies that strengthen the brain’s ability to process information efficiently and accurately. One of the most effective tools we use to improve timing, attention, and coordination is Interactive Metronome® - a clinically supported brain-training program that targets the brain’s internal timing system.

Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful eye procedures performed today. For most patients, it results in clearer vision and improved quality of life. However, some individuals experience an unexpected side effect afterward: double vision. Understanding why double vision occurs after cataract surgery and when to seek help can make a significant difference in your recovery and long-term visual comfort.

As a parent, hearing your child say they “see double” can be concerning. Double vision (diplopia) in children is not something to ignore, as it can indicate an underlying vision or eye coordination problem that may affect their ability to read, learn, or play comfortably.

Have you ever wished you could skip the trip to the eye doctor but still get the treatment? Modern technology is making that possible. Tele-eye care allows you to connect with a specialist from the comfort of your living room. It offers wonderful convenience and can save you time. But it does have its limits. Understanding these boundaries helps you get the best care.

Feeling dizzy or seeing double can be disorienting and even frightening - especially when it starts interfering with your balance, reading, or daily tasks. While dizziness and double vision can result from various medical conditions, one often-overlooked cause lies in how your eyes work together.

Vertigo is more than the occasional dizzy spell. For many people, it’s a persistent and debilitating condition that impacts balance, focus, and overall quality of life.

Balance problems aren’t always caused by the inner ear or neurological issues - sometimes, the eyes are the source. When the visual system sends the brain conflicting signals, it can create motion sensitivity, and disorientation.

Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), also known as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), affects how the brain interprets and responds to sensory information from the environment. While the condition can impact all senses, vision plays a particularly significant and often overlooked role in sensory integration.

Primitive reflexes are automatic movements that infants are born with, instinctive responses that originate in the brainstem and play a crucial role in early development. These reflexes are necessary for survival and motor development in the first year of life. However, if they don’t integrate properly, they may interfere with a child’s growth, learning, and behavior.
