A comprehensive eye exam can diagnose the following barriers to healthy vision:

 

Without a comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist, many children have vision problems that can go undiagnosed. Others may be misdiagnosed as a learning disorder. A person with 20/20 may clearly see a certain letter on the standard eye chart (equivalent to what a person with normal vision should be able to see at 20 feet). There's so much more to healthy vision than 20/20.      

 

Acuity-Distance Visual acuity (sharpness, clearness) at 20 feet distance.
Acuity-Near Visual acuity for short distance (specifically, reading distance).
Focusing Skills The ability of the eyes to maintain clear vision at varying distances.
Eye Tracking and Fixation Skills The ability of the eyes to look at and accurately follow an object; this includes the ability to move the eyes across a sheet of paper while reading, etc.
Binocular fusion

The ability to use both eyes together at the same time.

Stereopis Binocular depth perception.
Convergence and Eye Teaming Skills The ability of the eyes to aim, move and work as a coordinated team.
Hyperopia A refractive condition that makes it difficult to focus, especially at near viewing distances.
Color Vision The ability to differentiate colors.
Reversal Frequency Confusing letters or words (b, d; p, q: saw, was; etc.)
Visual Memory The ability to store and retrieve visual information.
Visual Form Discrimination The ability to determine if two shapes, colors, sizes, positions, or distances are the same or different.
Visual Motor Integration The ability to combine visual input with other sensory input (hand and body movements, balance, hearing, etc.); the ability to transform images from a vertical to a horizontal plane (such as from the blackboard to the desk surface).
