20/20 Is Not Enough

The authors present a whole new way of looking at vision and how it effects/impacts one's life. Visual implications in various types of learning/reading disorders, athletic performance, working at a computer, driving an automobile, and your personality are all discussed. Must reading for the insightful reader.

This book is EXCELLENT!! She is almost 10 yrs old and for almost 2 years, our daughter has been struggling in school. We've watched her grades and attitude plummet. We've tried EVERYTHING to get her help. On an annual, routine eye exam, our eye doctor found a problem and sent us to Dr. Arthur Seiderman. I watched as she was tested and was AMAZED by the results. How did she get as far as she did with this vision disability? Moreover, only being 2 weeks into her therapy, we see a dramatic change in her attitude and boost in her confidence level. We read this book and it says it all! I highly recommend this book to anyone who see a problem with their child's behavior. Many ADHD people are misdiagnosed and they really have vision problems. We are thrilled with this book and are lending it to all of our friends!

While not a self-help book, "20/20 Is Not Enough" serves to show a growing, but under-noticed area of learning problems: Vision disability. Going beyond the normal ideas of near- and far- sightedness and astigmatism, the authors discuss mechanical and physical reasons for vision problems. Many children have the problems mentioned in the book, but go undiagnosed due to several reasons. Optometrists who look for and treat visual problems (with vision therapy combined with corrective lens) are few and far between. I believe this book should be MUST reading for elementary school teachers, optometrists, and school "nurses." I heartily recommend this book for any parent who has children struggling with their reading and vision skills.
