Because this Sunday, Untreated Vision Problems Can Contribute to lliteracy With.one in four adult Canadians today challenged by some degree of illiteracy, - parents and educators are urged to ensure children get the vision vision care they need to help overcome vision-related reading problems, says the Ontario Association of Optometrists. Optometrists. "While there are many causes of illiteracy, we are concerned that some people may have undetected or untreated vision problems that contribute contribute to their inability to develop the reading skills necessary for simple simple daily tasks," says Dr. Mira Acs, President of the Ontario Association of Optometrists which is promoting the connection between vision and literacy as part of Vision Awareness Week, March 6 -12 across Ontario. Two separate U.S. studies have revealed revealed that about 75% of adults enrolled enrolled in literacy programs failed at least one or more sections of the vision vision screening test. Of the adults who failed the vision screening in one of the studies, three out of four had difficulties difficulties with 'near vision' which is directly related to reading ability. "Canada's illiteracy problem costs our nation approximately $10 billion dollars a year, and the personal and social costs of this problem are staggering. staggering. With one in six children having having vision-related problems that may inhibit their ability to learn to read, we urge parents and educators to .watch for signs that indicate a child may have difficulties with reading," says Acs. These signs may include covering up one eye while reading, holding reading material too close, and having a short attention span in the classroom. Studies show that the level of literacy literacy required for today's children to be competitive in the 21st ccntuiy is increasing as we enter the information information age. "With new technologies, the use of computers in all aspects of our personal and work lives, and the need to be able to process large quantities of information on the job, we owe it to our children to ensure they have the skills necessary to meet the literacy literacy demands of the future," says Acs. Parents, teachers or anyone interested interested in learning more about the connection connection between literacy and vision can obtain a report prepared by the OAO called "The Vision and Literacy Literacy Connection" through their local optometrists, or by calling the OAO at (416) 256-4411.
