Pattern one
The long homework evening
School, then tuition, then homework, with total near-work demand well above what most curricula impose.

What This Can Explain, and What It Cannot
Vision therapy is sometimes presented as an answer to dyslexia and attention difficulties. It is not, and we will not tell you otherwise. What it does treat is a specific set of measurable visual deficits that make reading physically harder — which is a narrower claim, and a much more reliable one. Assessment delivered to Delhi by secure telehealth.

Delhi and the NCR
Children’s Vision Across Delhi NCR
An intensive academic culture with early coaching and heavy homework produces high sustained near-work demand from a young age.
Pattern two
The family with several assessments
Multiple professionals consulted with partial answers. A clean result on visual mechanics either explains part of it or removes it from the list.
Pattern three
The family defeated by travel
Willing to attend, unable to sustain weekly cross-city trips on a school evening for four months.
How sessions run
Secure video sessions from home, which removes a cross-city journey that routinely costs two hours for a twenty-minute appointment. Young children perform more reliably in their own room than in an unfamiliar clinic, and a parent is present throughout the session either way.
Typical schedule
Shorter and more frequent sessions than an adult programme, because attention rather than capability is the limiting factor at this age. Evening and weekend slots are held back for working parents.
Bring the school screening slip
Along with any prescription. A school screening tests distance acuity only, which is how a child passes one and still has the near-vision problem you are watching. A single local appointment settles it.

Scope, Stated Plainly
The Difference Between Making Reading Easier and Treating Dyslexia
These are separate claims with very different evidence behind them, and blurring them does families real harm.
Treating a convergence deficit can substantially improve how long a child can read comfortably and how much effort it costs. That is well supported and it is what we do. It does not change phonological processing, and a child with dyslexia who also has a convergence deficit will read more comfortably after treatment while still having dyslexia.
Both facts can be true at once, and both matter. A child with an untreated visual deficit is fighting on two fronts, and removing one makes specialist literacy teaching more effective. What is not honest is presenting vision therapy as an alternative to that teaching.
What We Will Not Claim
That vision therapy treats dyslexia, attention deficit disorder or autism. It does not, the evidence does not support it, and claiming otherwise delays children from getting the help they actually need. Where those are present, we treat any visual deficit we find and say clearly that the other condition requires its own specialist input.
What We Treat
The Four Visual Systems Behind Comfortable Reading
Each is separately measurable and separately treatable, and each has different evidence behind it.
Binocular teaming
Holding both eyes converged on the same word for as long as reading continues. Convergence insufficiency is the most common deficit here and the one with the strongest trial evidence supporting treatment.
Focusing stamina
Sustaining clear focus at reading distance and shifting quickly between distances. Accommodative dysfunction produces blur that comes and goes, and difficulty copying from a board.
Oculomotor tracking
Accurate small jumps along a line and a reliable return to the start of the next one. Inaccuracy here produces lost places, skipped lines and re-reading.
Visual processing
Interpreting what is seen — visual memory, form discrimination, visual-motor integration. Relevant to letter reversals, spacing and copying accuracy, with a more mixed evidence base than the other three.
How the Programme Is Run
Running a Children’s Programme From a Delhi Home
A telehealth assessment with a parent assisting, and any in-person test named precisely for a single local visit.
01
Establishing the numbers
An hour covering acuity per eye, cycloplegic refraction, convergence, focusing accuracy and stamina, eye movement control and depth perception, with the findings written in plain language you can take to anyone else.
02
Correcting the optics
Correction confirmed and coordinated with whoever dispenses it, with a settling period before active therapy, since a proportion of near-work difficulty resolves at this stage alone.
03
The therapy itself
Short daily home activities with a weekly live session, delivered from home so that a cross-city journey is not competing with homework time.
04
Measuring the change
Review at the midpoint against the original numbers, with a teacher-facing summary provided alongside the clinical one.
Common Questions
Children’s Vision Therapy in Delhi: What Parents Ask Us
A tutor suggested vision therapy would help my son’s dyslexia. Is that right?
Not as stated, and it is worth being careful here. Vision therapy does not treat dyslexia — dyslexia is a phonological processing difficulty and it needs specialist literacy teaching. What is true is that a substantial number of children with dyslexia also have an untreated visual deficit, and a child fighting both finds the literacy intervention much harder. Treating the visual deficit makes the teaching more effective; it does not replace it. If anyone tells you otherwise, be sceptical.
His school assessment recommended extra time in exams. Does that suggest a visual problem?
It suggests something is making the work slower, which is consistent with a visual deficit and with several other things. Extra time is a sensible accommodation and it is a workaround rather than an explanation. Worth asking: is he slower at everything, or specifically at tasks involving sustained reading and copying? Task-specific slowness points toward the mechanics, and ninety minutes of testing will tell you whether that is the case.
Can a child be assessed properly over video?
Most of the battery, yes, with a parent assisting and using materials we post in advance. Convergence, focusing facility, tracking accuracy and several visual-perceptual tasks all work well remotely, and children are often more relaxed at home, which improves the quality of the observation. What cannot be done remotely is a cycloplegic refraction or an eye-health examination, and those matter — we name them specifically so one local appointment covers both if needed.
How do you keep a young child engaged for a whole session?
By not asking them to sustain one for longer than they can. Paediatric sessions are shorter and more frequent than adult ones, because attention rather than capability is almost always the limiting factor. Activities are built as games with a clear end point, difficulty is adjusted continuously so the child succeeds most of the time, and a parent is in the room. A child who is bored is producing unreliable data as well as having a bad time.
Is this the same thing as behavioural optometry?
The terms overlap and are used loosely, which is part of why the field attracts scepticism. What we practise is functional vision assessment and therapy for measurable binocular, accommodative and oculomotor deficits, with the treatment aimed at those measurements. Where an approach lacks evidence we say so rather than including it because it is traditional. If a specific technique is proposed for your child, it is reasonable to ask what the evidence for it is.
