Nov 15, 2015 | A young patient this week had me thinking about just how similar are symptoms of Dyslexia and Farsightedness (Hyperopia). If you are concerned about dyslexia in a child because of - disinterest in close tasks - low tolerance for reading - mixing up letters - reversing letters... these are symptoms of both conditions. Please have the child's vision tested with a "cycloplegic" used. This will rule out eye troubles before resources and time and energy are spent on a dyslexia work-up.
