YOUR CHILD MIGHT HAVE BINOCULAR VISION DYSFUNCTION
Children suffering from Binocular Vision Dysfunction have a small amount of vision misalignment not found on routine eye exams. This condition can be something you are born with that becomes a problem over time. Or it can be caused a concussion or traumatic brain injury, such as a soccer/football game, cheerleading or falling from a bike. The number and severity of symptoms are different for each child. For some, it really impacts their quality of life, causing many restrictions on what they can do.
