Learning and Vision Development
At the Vision &
Conceptual Development Center, we dedicate our practice exclusively
to developmental optometry. Our perspective is that vision is much
more than 20/20 acuity. We work to help correct inefficiencies in
the visual system-- which includes eyes, muscles, nerves, and
brain.

Learning-related Vision
Skills and Problems
There is a significant
difference between sight
and vision. A child may
have 20/20 eyesight yet lack the visual skills necessary for
optimal academic performance. Vision is a combination of physical
sight with perception of
what is seen, to result in understanding and comprehension.
