Has anybody here had their son do any vision training? Also, can anybody recommend a good sports vision optometrist in the Atlanta area? My son's hitting took a nosedive and at the same time he started driving. We noticed some squinting. Took him to an eye exam ... 20/25 vision. Not horrible but pretty horrible for seeing a 90 MPH baseball. I've done some research on sports vision training. It won't correct the vision; he'll need contacts for that. But even athletes with 20/12 level vision...

When my son was in 4th grade he started having trouble computing Math addition/ subtraction Problems that were stacked 3 - 4 high.

Dialedin - I just sent you a PM.

You gotta be careful with vision therapy. It can be a huge rip-off. My son had something called convergence insufficiency when he was in kindergarten and 1st grade. Couldn't make his two eyes converge on a target unless it was moving. Made it really hard to learn to read. We first went to someone who specialized in vision therapy -- an optometrist, I think. It was going to cost an arm and a leg. Like 5- 7k. We went to an ophthalmologist for a second opinion. She told us it was a waste of...
