Research by Barry Fretwell, O.D. and Michael Conte, O.D. suggests that some behavioral disorders in children are not psychological; they have to do with the child's eye alignment. Stressing the need for parents to seek additional eye exams even if their children are labeled with 20\/20 vision, the authors explain vertical phoria and how to identify the symptoms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Relief is possible for children who are victims of vertical phoria. All childcare providers, including parents, grandparents, teachers, and school nurses, need to learn about this conditiion and how correcting it can help students increase their reading abillity.
