EV-29166 Future Vision (for Dyslexia & Visual Stress) (2010-09-09 13:45:00) 1.0 general point Association of British Dispensing Opticians

Literacy, or rather the lack of it, is always a headline grabber. With the demise of pre-school screening a vacuum has been created regarding eyecare for the nations schoolchildren.
Optometrists and dispensing opticians are ideally placed to fill this essential service.
General NHS eye examination screening means it is possible to pick up many of those suffering with dyslexia and visual stress who would otherwise have gone undetected.
Sadly the NHS will not recognize, much less fund, the need for further help.
This paper aims to give an over view of dyslexia, signs & symptoms as an aid to recognition and point the way to a simplified, easy to use system that is fun for the patient, viable, successful and in these harsh economic times, within the reach of most families.
It is proposed to offer a new, holisitic approach that will benefit both patient and practice alike.
