One of many questions that I've been researching:
I found the following article:
Young B, Collier-Gary K, Schwing S. Visual factors – a primary cause of failure in beginning reading. J Optom Vis Devel 1994; 25:276–88
In a longitudinal study of 144 beginning readers in public school, data on 25 measures of visual efficiency were subjected to two- and three-way Analyses of Variance. Binocular function, visual acuity, discrepancies in acuity, and color deficiencies were all found to be statistically significant in impeding beginning reading. Significant differences were also found in the sequence of visual development between sexes, between eye dominance for different tasks, between specific factors for 6-, 7-, and 8- year olds and first and second grades. It was concluded that visual factors are a primary cause of beginning reading failure and that most current school screenings are inadequate in scope and rigor.
Do vision difficulties relate to reading problems?
