The most common symptoms include:
- Eyestrain and headaches after reading for a short period of time
- Inability to concentrate when reading
- Short attention span
- Rubbing or closing an eye
- Words moving on the page
- Good decoding skills, but poor comprehension
Eyeteaming problems that result in such symptoms actually have more impact on learning and performance at work than do vision problems that cause a lack of clarity. Unfortunately, most school vision screenings are only designed to detect vision problems that cause a lack of clarity. Very few school screenings even test for eyeteaming disorders.
