Many people suffer from headaches, eye strain, or trouble reading despite having "normal" eyesight on a standard eye chart. This is because routine eye exams typically check only visual acuity (20/20 vision) and can miss underlying coordination problems. For instance, adults with convergence insufficiency who often complain of double vision and fatigue, yet they pass the visual acuity assessment. In such cases, orthoptist vision therapy  for adults may offer relief. Vision th

It's a common frustration for parents: your bright child finds it challenging to focus in school, leading you to suspect ADHD symptoms. But what if the root cause isn't just attention, but a hidden functional vision challenge? Many parents in Singapore are discovering that difficulties with focus in children can be linked to how their eyes and brain work together. Therefore, understanding this difference is the first step to finding the right support. This guide will help you

When a child learns to read, their brains must connect letters and sounds to form words. Dyslexia interferes with this decoding process. Children with dyslexia often learn to read differently because their brains form letter-sound connections more slowly. This affects how they understand and remember written words. At Orthovision, we believe parents deserve clear answers about why reading is difficult for their child. Our role is to uncover the specific factors at play and to

As a parent, you've likely noticed how common myopia (nearsightedness) is among children. You're not imagining it - according to the British Journal of Ophthalmology, over one-third of children worldwide are myopic, and this number is projected to reach nearly 40% by 2050 [9]. While getting glasses can quickly fix blurry vision, the glasses alone, in fact, do not slow down the worsening of myopia. That’s where myopia control comes in. This guide will help you understand what

When a child suddenly struggles with reading, parents become frustrated. The first (and mostly wrong) assumption is that the child is lazy or not trying enough. However, we need to understand that reading is the product of many systems (visual, cognitive, and developmental) working together. A mismatch or breakdown in any of these systems will make reading unusually hard, even for children who are otherwise capable. Early, targeted assessment is key to identifying and address

Managing screen time has always been a challenge. And then COVID 19 pandemic happened. With everyone at home people are globally spending more time performing visually demanding near tasks using digital screens, for home-based learning, work from home or during spare time. Instead of classroom interaction in person or work from the office, we got involved in remote learning or working, meaning hours a day of screen time. As we want to interact with friends and family daily or

A new meta-analysis in the journal JAMA Pediatrics finds that more overall time on screens each day, regardless of its quality, is linked to lower language development and we may add vision underdevelopment as well. "What we do see is, as the number of hours increases, so too does the risk for problematic outcomes," said lead researcher Sheri Madigan of the University of Calgary in Canada. "What this work suggests is that the quality of screen-viewing matters, but I think it
