Vision is the ability to identify, interpret and understand what is seen; eyesight is merely the ability to see. One's eyesight may test normal on standard eye charts, yet visual skills may be seriously impaired.

According to the Better Vision Institute, school eye screenings generally miss 70-80% of children's vision problems. Undetected vision problems may cause a child to dislike reading, resulting in learning difficulties, slow performance or fatigue. Visual problems can cause a child to be labeled as "slow" or even ADD.

Dr. Judy Hughes uses state-of-the-art technology to thoroughly assess the wide range of vision problems that could be the cause of your child's learning difficulties.

Dr. Hughes serves as a co-Clinical Director of the Texas Special Olympics' "Opening Eyes" program, and volunteers both her and her staff's time to provide professional eye care to Special Olympics' athletes.
