Diagnosis of ADHD? Can Your Child's Vision Affect

Can Your Child’s Vision Affect an ADHD Diagnosis - Anyone who is a parent knows how hard it is to get kids to notice sometimes, but sometimes I feel the diagnosis of ADHD is not the right answer. A new study agreed, suggesting that more than 1 million of these children may be misdiagnosed. (That's more than 20 percent!)

According to an article in the Denver Channel recently, some 4.5 million children in the United States were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A concerned mother wonders why her daughter is having so much trouble with her schoolwork, because she loves reading so much.

Can Your Child’s Vision Affect an ADHD Diagnosis

After an initial visit to the doctor, when he told them that he could not focus on all the questions on the page, they immediately assumed that he had ADHD problems. However, for fear of not putting her daughter on treatment, she does her own research that eventually takes her to an ophthalmologist.

Optometrists find that the problem is not a matter of attention deficit at all. It is a matter of vision!

The girl's eyes do not work well, the words move and the page will always be blurry. And this is the best part. Instead of repeating the error by putting the band's help on this issue (in this case prescribing glasses), the mother and the girl doctor decide to fix the problem itself with vision training.

And after eight months of training, the young girl can focus and learn as well as her colleagues at school! No medication or prescription needed, just a plan that proved focused on strengthening its vision.

Vision experts believe that 60 percent of children labeled as 'problem students' suffer from vision problems rather than some form of Attention Deficit Disorder.

It was a very high number, and made me think of all the adults I knew in my life who also seemed to have trouble concentrating on things. Is not it better if there is a simple permanent solution that does not involve treatment to help concentration?

Well, if you have trouble concentrating while doing work at school or office and have considered that you may have ADD, You owe it to yourself to see if you are really suffering from vision problems.
