Neuro-visual issues

Neuro-visual issues originate in the brain, and can affect a variety of functions, such as visual attention, visual-spatial processing and visual decoding. Disorders of this nature may impact the ability to read and write, fine motor skills, movement, or depth perception.

Children can be particularly affected by these issues when learning, and can fall behind their classmates. This is why an accurate diagnosis based on ophthalmic and orthoptic assessments is so important.

Orthoptic rehabilitation of neuro-visual conditions is often part of multidisciplinary care when handling a specific learning difficulty, such as dyslexia or dyspraxia.

Swiss Visio Network now appears on the reference site for neuro-visual conditions, which lists Swiss orthoptists specialising in this field.
