polarbear--thanks for your explanation. I was concerned because it seems like some parents are led down the wrong path and want to see VT as the golden ticket when the chances that vision problems are the actual problem are probably low. I think it's really important to make clear that it only helps kids with very specific eye conditions (like you just did). Like you said, I think it may be worth a try for kids who are experiencing significant difficulties with certain things, it is unclear why, there are obvious convergence or tracking issues, and insurance will pay for it. But most of the time it's out of pocket and parents may put a lot of time and resources into it, when really what the child needs is a reading tutor or stimulant meds for their ADHD (some kids do actually improve a lot on stimulants).
