BVD (whether caused by genetics or head trauma) is when both eyes are not working together, resulting in: headaches while reading or watching 3D movies, motion sickness, double vision, cross/lazy eyes, or other impairing symptoms. (http://www.vlca.com/visionsymptoms.php)
1 in 5 students have BVD, which impairs reading and learning.

Vision therapy is 75% effective in treating BVD.

LTSC is advocating for members of Congress to pass legislation to facilitate the expanded use of office-based optometric vision therapy and ensure that office-based optometric vision therapy is readily available to all those need it, at the same cost as other federally-recognized therapies and activities.
