Behavioral Optometrist - Vision Software - Risks? - 12/04/08 07:34 PM
I had a question for those of you whose children are using the HTS software. DS just started a couple of weeks ago, and when I looked at his performance, I saw he started at 95% and moved up to 97%. My question is where did your children start? If he's at 95% to start, why does he need it? Or do they start it so low and easy everyone starts at 95%?
Also, I left a message with the optometrist. DS complains about the convergence base in (?) saying it's making him cross-eyed (and the optometrist said that's okay) and it makes him see cross-eyed after he's done. She explained to me that that's normal - like going to the gym and having tired muscles afterward. But the other day, DS was looking at something close up and I saw him go cross-eyed, and I never saw him do that before - except when he was fooling around. I have not had him do exercises since.
Do any of you know of any risks with the exercises?
I'm a bit concerned.
