Oculomotor Dysfunction

Get in touch

Our eyes act as cameras for our body. When the muscles around our eyes aren’t well coordinated, it becomes very difficult for the child to perform many tasks. It can be caused by developmental delays, trauma, disease, etc. 

What are signs to look for? 

  • Difficulty tracking objects 
  • Difficulty reading 
  • Difficulty maintaining balance (ex: standing on one foot, walking on a beam, etc.). 
  • Difficulty assessing the depth of an object. 
  • Falling or tripping when walking. 
  • Difficulty maintaining proper head posture when reading (ex: moving their head to follow the words).
  • Headaches 
  • Difficulty with concentration 
  • Motion sickness
