Exams

Our binocular vision and visual perceptual evaluations are normally performed at the same visit. For younger children, below grade 3, it is recommended to split up these evaluations between separate early and mid-morning appointments or separate days. We initially schedule two exam dates in case the child tires during the initial test day and can finish on the second. A third visit is scheduled for parents only approximately two weeks after the evaluation is completed to review test results and discuss candidacy for vision therapy.

The binocular vision exam includes evaluation of:
    • Near focusing skills
    • Eye coordination
    • Eye movement and tracking
    • Depth perception
    • Peripheral awareness

The perceptual evaluation yields information regarding how each child learns or processes information. Overall perceptual functioning is determined by analysis and averaging of the total test battery. Each child's perceptual abilities are compared to an age matched, normal distribution of children.


Other abilities are also evaluated such as directionality awareness, right vs. left awareness, fine motor skills, eye tracking for reading, visual recognition of sound patterns and visualization skills.
