[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 527321, member: 3493"] We were told for years that my youngest, now 13, was near-sighted and he wore glasses since K. He hated to read, had awful headaches and a wickedly horrible temper. In 4th grade, I decided to take him for vision therapy. The first thing she said was that baby boy's problem was that his glasses were wrong. He IS nearsighted, very, but only in one eye. In the other eye, he is terribly far-sighted. His prior eye doctor (one of the top ranked in our county) had been AVERAGING his scores and giving him glasses that did nothing but give him horrible headaches. He started wearing bifocals in 4th grade - I pay the extra to get him the no line style. He also had 9 months of vision therapy. After that, his reading came in to play, his headaches vanished and his temper has improved so greatly he's like a different kid. He has always had a diagnosis of Learning Disability (LD) and vision impairment but at his most recent triennial. he was actually able to participate in the testing and the results indicate he is mildly dyslexic. He is in grade 7 now. H was diagnosed as dyslexic in law school of all places and easy child was diagnosis'ed with severe dyslexia in K. Baby boy is SO thrilled to be dyslexic - there's now a reason why his handwriting stinks and he's not a math whiz like difficult child. Look into his eyesight, etc. and good luck. [/QUOTE]
