Vision problems are a primary focus for those interested in studying dyslexia. In fact, there is new evidence that indicates a strong relationship between these two distinct, but interlinked fields. The two problems can be mistaken for each other, and the same brain problems that cause dyslexia could also be affecting vision for the same reason.
Luckily, vision problems can be resolved using corrective lenses and focused surgical efforts, and people can be taught to improve their visual learning.
The video below may give people suffering with dyslexia and a connected issue with their vision a renewed outlook on how both can managed by a modern ophthalmologist.
There are easy ways to drastically improve your reading ability by identifying just one “micro-skill.”

Key takeaways
- Eye problems may be a reason someone can't read or comprehend things.
- If the brain has any issues, like dyslexia, even visual processing is affected.
- A person can be trained to improve on his/her visual processing ability.
Take the dyslexia test
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
