Hi!
Yes before we started eye therapy we had total reading avoidance. Now I have an avid reader of Hardy Boys ( I think he's reading anyway)but with one eye covered with his hands. He prefers to read with very low lighting. He used to complain of major headaches and words floating around.
I had never heard of this before and thought he was making it up to get out of work. (I feel awful!) But after After 9 months of eye therapy ( probably only 2 day a week at at home and one with the clinic), the headaches and most of the tears are gone. We still have issues at school with eye fatigue.
He is likely being evaluated at school bc his work output can be great one day and struggling the next. Cognitively he needs the harder classes but I don't think he can handle the workload- even as a 3rd grader.
In the back of mind I do wonder if there is more going on and I worry we won't know until he's really struggling.
