> "Due to similar symptoms, an undetected visual dysfunction can be misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia or a reading disability. A comprehensive eye exam, which rules out a binocular vision dysfunction, is critical to determining if vision is a contributing factor." Does a standard eye exam cover that? An optometrist recently told me that my eyes are "boring" and my mild prescription hasn't changed in years. So I've been trying to address my tired eyes with the basics: "20-20-20" (every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds), actually wearing my glasses, drinking enough water, exercise, stress reduction, and getting enough sleep. If I continue to have trouble, should I ask for some more comprehensive exam? > Anyway, I just wanted to post this in case it's helpful to someone who is lurking with tired eyes and a fractured attention span. I suspect there are a lot of such folks, but the obvious suspect is the pandemic. Among other things, it often means fewer unplanned vision breaks and generally worse self-care. > You want an optometrist with F.C.O.V.D after their name, someone who specializes in binocular vision and muscular dysfunction. To rephrase my initial question more precisely: do I need to get the person who does the exam to have that qualification, or is that just who I'd go to after seeing something is wrong on a standard exam with any optometrist?
