Vision Training

I started working with a a ten year old boy in vision training. He is a superior performer in baseball but has problems with attention. His father wanted me to examine him stating when a ball was hit directly to him, he was slow to react.  The patient's eyes were healthy and were able to see clearly without any prescription.  There is a very specific problem with the coordination of his eyes. The eyes are straight.  This type of problem for those in the optometric field is that his base-in findings to break and recovery are very low.  He has problems aiming his eyes beyond the target quickly. This problem , indirectly could lead one to be inattentive at times, also causing reading comprehension problems.  We'll be working with him over the next several weeks on this issue and see if there's an improvement in performance.
