Research with exciting results!
Recent research shows that a vision problem, convergence insufficiency, is three times more common in children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. Dr. Granet, a nationally known pediatric ophthalmologist presented the findings. Convergence insufficiency "makes it more difficult to concentrate on reading, which is also one of the ways doctors diagnose ADHD," Granet commented. There are likely cases that have been misdiagnosed as ADHD prior to having a proper visual evaluation. This research echoes the research that has been ongoing for years in the specialty of developmental optometry.
