THE 20/20 MYTH

For years the number 20/20 has been used to express perfect eye sight. If a student has 20/20 eyesight he can see perfect detail both near and far. This is called visual acuity. The measurement for visual acuity is a chart with rows of letters. The top letters are large. Each succeeding row of letters is smaller and smaller. The student reads the letters from top to bottom until he can”t identify them.

The first number of “20/20” represents the distance of the student from the chart, 20 feet. The second number represents the smallest letter row the student can read.

As students need to see perfect detail at near point (desk level) and to see perfect detail at far point
(board level), THEY NEED 20/20 VISION TO DO SCHOOL WORK EFFECTIVELY. We advise parents to have their children's eyes checked as early as three years of age, and for sure when a child begins school. Vision specialists are able to provide normal vision by prescribing glasses.Following this the student is expected to read.

However 10 to 15% of students still cannot read.

YES THEY CAN SEE !

NO THEY CANNOT READ!

So the 20/20 myth is exposed.

The problem is identified as POOR VISION SKILLS.

These students have a problem that is rarely recognized. Very few ophthalmologists or optometrists screen for vision skills in their regular exams. Teachers cannot screen for vision skills as it is not in their training. Believe it or not, Phonetic training makes the problem worse. We have answers!
