Risk Assessment: Quick Dx

July 7, 2012
by
DrB

 

Introduction – As a species, I doubt we evolved specifically to end up using computers, smart devices, and other sustained near-point activities. The signs of visual strain are common, but often go undetected or ignored. Use this tool to do a quick assessment of risk for yourself or your child. If the result shows further care is indicated, you will almost certainly feel the benefits of comprehensive vision care. Like the most comfortable pair of shoes you’ve ever worn; applied to vision, this means a whole new world of comfort and freedom that can only be lived to be truly appreciated. You owe it to yourself and your child to pursue optimal visual function and health. Remove the obstacles to living and learning: It’s a kind and prudent thing to do.

Quick Assessment Tool

  1. Print this list off. (See Attachment).
  2. Put a mark beside each item that applies to you or your child.
  3. If the results indicate a likely problem, call 403-933-5552 or write info@dvvc.ca to book an appointment. This is especially important if you are a student or work with books, paper, or computers.
  4. Bring this paper with you to the appointment.
  • • Children: Have any concern of learning or reading disability. Counts as 21.
  • • Skip lines while reading or copying

  • • Unusual posture (head turn/tilt) when reading/writing
  • • Headaches following reading/computer work
  • • Eyes that hurt or feel tired after close work, like phone use or crafts
  • • Feel unusually tired after completing a visually intensive task
  • • Double vision: Up and down (vertical)? Side to side (horizontal)? Both (diagonal)?

  • • Have crooked or poorly spaced writing

  • • See more clearly with one eye than the other
  • • Feel sleepy while reading
  • • Dislike visual tasks requiring sustained concentration
  • • Avoid near tasks such as reading (with children, they might fight you on homework).
  • • Confuse right and left directions
  • • Become restless when working at a desk
  • • Find you must “feel” things to see them
  • • Experience carsickness, especially when reading while a passenger in a moving car

  • • Experience dry eyes
  • • Experience watery eyes
  • • Experience red eyes
  • • Have eyes that are bothered by/sensitive to light

Criteria:

• 15-20 points total = Possible functional vision problems

• 21-30 points total = Probable functional vision problems

• Over 30 points total = Definite functional vision problems

• 15+ total points = Functional vision evaluation recommended
