Children’s vision – understanding “Visual Skills”
There are a number of skills that make up “vision”. Vision is actually a very complex process, involving the capturing of light by our eyes (the sense organs) and then the understanding of the information by our brain. But in order to get meaningful and easily interpreted information to our brain, we must first coordinate the muscle systems of our eyes. This too is far more complex than most people realise:
