[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 183147, member: 1991"] Good point, smallworld. We hunted around to find an optometrist who specialised in kids with learning problems. He was worth searching for. In our case, he was also a lot cheaper - in fact, he is free, with our health system. We usually think of taking such problems to an ophthalmic surgeon but in this case it's not what really fits. It was actually this optometrist who endorsed the "Magic Eye" book for the kids' eye toeing in problems. He also said this is an increasingly common problem because very few people these days get enough balance in their eye use during the day, of looking into the distance and also close vision. We're almost all doing mostly close-up stuff, and he reckons it's not good. As far as I have been able to determine, neither of the two exercises I presented here should cause problems in themselves. However if you have concerns that there could be a vision problem with your child it is important to get it professionally checked out so that you aren't neglecting something that needs professional treatment. If you're already seeing someone for your eyes, check out with them before you undertake these exercises. Marg [/QUOTE]
