1.Difficulties in reading and comprehension: Early detection of visual problems can prevent reading and comprehension difficulties, as poor vision may affect a student’s ability to process and understand text.
2.Attention problems in the classroom: Undiagnosed visual issues can lead to eye strain and difficulties in maintaining attention, impacting academic performance and causing demotivation.
3.Difficulties in writing and motor coordination: Untreated visual impairments can affect a student’s ability to write legibly and perform tasks requiring fine motor coordination, potentially lowering self-esteem and motivation.
4.Social and emotional development:
Early detection and correction of visual problems can prevent social isolation and low self-esteem associated with unidentified learning difficulties, enabling students to fully participate in academic and social activities.
